Antonija  +  716151 Tue, 05 May 09 07:34 AM Can you please help me with two questions: 1. Which phrase is more appropriate here, "in conclusion" or "we conclude"? 2. Is there a phrase which would fit better in this context than "more successful"? The target meaning here is "more precise, more accurate". We conclude that TWG technique/In conclusion, TWG technique was significantly more successful in positioning the chest tube on desired place in the pleural cavity commpared to CS technique.

	Antonija  +  716911 Tue, 05 May 09 05:58 PM I was wondering if you can use "precise" without a noun after it, as in my sentence? Antonija Nouns, Sentences

	Antonija  +  718089 Wed, 06 May 09 08:44 AM I have to insert the phrase in italics here. 1) Can you please tell me if it is OK to say OF human cadaver model? 2) Are HUMAN and MODEL redundant here? Or should I leave out everything after CAVITY? In conclusion, TWG technique was significantly more precise in placing the chest tube in intended position in the pleural cavity of human cadaver model compared to CS technique.
