Excerpts

There is a positive trend concerning the number of articles per publication year, which could be interpreted as an increased scientific interest in the topic. 3.1.

From each component point of view, the vigor, resilience, and population health of each city in Jiangsu Province showed a trend of continuous improvement, while the organization and service function first increased and then decreased.

The all-aged mortality (1/100,000) was 2.2 (±0.5) on average during the study period, with a decreasing trend of −0.116/decade (−0.122, −0.110).

From the results of EESI, it can be found that the level of ecological security in Wuhan showed an increasing trend as a whole after it dropped from 2006 to 2008.

Both TVOC and VOC concentrations showed a decreasing trend during this period.

However, two of the three electrodes located over S1 (involved with tactile perception) show a modulated mu-rhythm with increased MF flux density (CP3 and CP5, and tendency approaching significance for CP1), but this was not confirmed by post-hoc pairwise comparisons.

This also explains why the GFI value for the whole database is very close to significance levels but not significant: the variance of the Visibility of railway track may not be sufficient to warrant the introduction of this variable in a significant model.

The EEA competition index ranged from 0.255 to 0.277 and there was a decreasing trend after 2016.

On the other hand, based on the compared results, a positive trend is evident among patients who, empowered by the accessible information in relation to nutritional effects on health, have become much more cooperative and prepared for a partnership with their GPs with the goal of improving one’s own health.

In a study of 250 benzene-exposed workers and 140 unexposed controls, single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes ( BLM , TP53 , RAD51 , WDR79 , and WRN ) that play a critical role in DNA repair and genomic maintenance were associated with highly significant reductions in the white blood cell count among benzene-exposed workers but not controls [ 4 ].

Our results indicate that when the population is disaggregated by age and gender, the southern area exhibits only minor and less significant hotspots of older males, yet highly significant hot spots of MI in younger males occur in the industrial eastern communities, home to working class families, characterized by lower socioeconomic status, and higher industrial pollution.

Although the impact of hot weather on mortality is generally largest in urban environments [ 63 ], it may be significant also in rural areas [ 62 , 64 ].

[ 54 ], but the reproducibility in own study was observed to be higher (Bland-Altman index of 2.7%), while the validity was stated to be borderline significant (Bland-Altman index of 5.3%).

In addition, the crude rate of patients who underwent PC in the GP maintained an increasing trend during the observation period ( Figure 2 ).

For those intervals that showed a significant or marginally non-significant difference, a series of a posteriori, multiple-comparison (pair-wise) tests were run to identify those bins that were significantly different.

For example, the effect of quantitative workload on emotional exhaustion over time might be significant in a larger sample.

Although exposure to elevated levels of arsenic has shown a positive trend in terms of increasing the risk of stillbirth among arsenic-affected women, a dose-response study is needed to establish a clear relationship between spontaneous abortion and infant mortality related to arsenic exposure. 5.8.

Unfortunately, the incidence of homicide showed an increasing trend, suggesting a need for additional protections of the health and safety of children.

A clear trend was, however, seen in the years each group had been vaping, with the “Vape only” group tending to have vaped for longer than the groups who were smoking ( Table 6 ) (chi-square test; p < 0.01). 4.

Within specific drug classes, calcium supplements (A12A), ACE inhibitors (C09A) and vitamins (A11) all showed an associative trend with constipation, while opioid (N02A) intake was different between patient and control groups.

Statistical significance was set at a level of 0.05, p -values between 0.05 and 0.10 were considered borderline significant. 3.

With an increasing trend of number of deaths due to leptospirosis reported annually, an urgent need to gather important data for effective control and preventive plans is imminent. 4.1.

There was a decreasing trend in the number of cases reported weekly from 2009–2014.

This finding shows that the estimated direct and spillover effects (elasticity) of energy intensity are highly significant at the 1% and 10% level respectively, and their signs are positive as expected.

Although around day 7 the samples had stronger indication of the presence of virus, these data also do not show a clear trend. 4.
