Excerpts

In a study conducted by Hamming et al., it was shown that an increased level of leptin in obese patients may be significant in the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis, which they connected with leptin inducing specific signaling pathways, of which the end products are TNF-α and IL-6 [ 15 ].

The age-related decrease in Cyt c amounts in the two CR groups showed a trend similar to that observed in the AL-28 and AL-32 groups with a more relevant decrease in the CR-28 animals partially prevented in the older CR-32 rats. 2.2.

A time-dependent highly significant increase in the number of cells having internalized NPs was found.

Both regressions were highly significant in the middle and highest subsets of log(E Cd /C cr ).

In addition, FKBP3 (FKBP25) showed a trend of being down-regulated in normoxic AC16 cells ( Figure 5 A).

The negative correlation between both miRNAs and TFAM was highly significant in the “responders” subtype ( Figure 6 E,F).

SARS-CoV-2 causes severe respiratory symptoms that are accompanied by high fever, cough, and severe pneumonia [ 2 ], and although the mortality rate has been reported to be lower than that of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) or Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), the overall risk remains highly significant, and thus novel prophylactic agents such as therapeutic drugs and vaccines are urgently in need.

p values less than 0.001 were considered as significant and those less than 0.0001 were considered as extremely significant.

Similarly in newborn piglets, intravenous milrinone improved oxygenation and showed a trend to decrease several markers of inflammation [ 57 ].

In contralateral eyes, we observed a minor decrease in Brn3a+ RGCs that only reached a slight significance at days 3 and 15.

Both siblings presented changes of the clinical feature and some pathologies consequent to hormonal alterations, which can be verified in the manuscript, but the data that may be significant in relation to the topic of this review are the following: in the XX sibling, the basal concentrations of plasma testosterone, androstenedione, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone were elevated, whereas plasma estradiol was low.

This second proposed mechanism is strongly supported by our finding of a highly significant negative correlation between the ratio of AT activity/AT antigen level and thrombin half-life.

Although this can be observed as a clear trend, the difference was not statistically significant.

(To provide a sense of scale, EMD is roughly equal to the area between the two ECDFs—therefore, a difference between, for example, EMD of 55.660 and 22.011, as shown in Table 5 , is highly significant; similarly, ED is a linear function of the Cramer Distance, with the same scale sensitivity).

Correspondingly to the beneficial impact of butyrate on mitochondrial function [ 39 , 40 ], we observed a positive trend between stool butyrate and mtDNA content in the blood of the intervention group.

Silencing of Pol λ in U2OS cells ( Figure 2 H; Figure S5 ) resulted in a highly significant reduction of APBs with respect to control U2OS cells ( Figure 2 F,G).

This is the case of sucrose and raffinose for the sub-bands W2a and W4, which have a clear trend.

Although no statistical differences were found, Figure S5 showed a trend towards High Angio-High AP tumors as the earlier relapsing ones.

The association of cg06536614 methylation with breast cancer risk remained highly significant after adjustment for rs2346018 carrier probabilities, with p values ranging from 2 × 10 −9 to 3 × 10 −8 in the unadjusted model and from 8 × 10 −9 to 1 × 10 −7 in the adjusted model ( Table 5 ).

A comparison of this predicted epitope MHC-coverage revealed for the early phase of infection spread (till day 15 after reaching 128 observed infection cases) highly significant negative correlations with the case fatality rate.

A strong trend in dental applications is to apply nanotechnology and smart nanomaterials such as nanoclays, nanofibers, nanocomposites, nanobubbles, nanocapsules, solid-lipid nanoparticles, nanospheres, metallic nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanocrystals.

The values were not significantly higher compared to CTRL animals but there was a clear trend towards increasing levels.

Although, 32 of the 85 studies included in our review did not show a significant elevation in circulating CRP, some of these showed a trend of higher CRP, which did not reach statistical significance, possibly due to the small numbers included (type II error).

p ≥ 0.05 was considered no statistically significant and indicated with “ns”; 0.01 ≤ p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant and indicated with “*”; p < 0.01 was considered highly significant and indicated with “**”.

The authors also state that the negative association among siblings may result from the existence of undiagnosed maternal diabetes among the “unexposed siblings,” and if those are added to the exposed group, the difference might be significant [ 238 ].
