Excerpts

However, it was just slightly significant and therefore not one of the most important predictors.

In the multivariate analysis, a poor Royal Marsden Hospital (RMH) prognostic score was associated with SFs (OR = 2.3; 95%CI [1.0–5.7], p = 0.06), although this was of borderline significance likely because of small numbers.

Also, thermal detection thresholds showed a trend towards an improvement.

Clustering as an Optimization Problem Optimization challenges are highly significant to scientific engineering models and other decision-making applications.

The mean test-retest scores differences were all not statistically significant except that of burden score, which was just marginally significant.

A relatively limited number of cardiovascular mortality events may have limited our power to detect a significant association with cardiovascular mortality in this study, although the point estimate showed a trend towards increased cardiovascular mortality with QTc prolongation.

Since the bisPNA can form complex I, II or III structures on DNA [ 50 ], and have 0, 1, 2 or 3 PEGs linked, we expected and indeed observed heterogeneity in the event signatures observed for the two PEG sizes used, still with an overall trend of an increase in the number of deeper and longer lasting events as the PEG size increased ( S4 Section ).

Furthermore, the results showed a trend towards an increased risk for injection site redness/erythema in patients receiving saponin-adjuvanted vaccine compared to those receiving placebo, although it was not statistically significant (pooled RR 1.44, 95% CI 0.95–2.17, p = 0.08).

After four weeks of cold treatment, the highly significant QTL for HD associated with VRN-A1 (LOD = 26.3) explained 43.2% of the variation ( Table 2 ).

The association of ARS with the MPA during summer-autumn was highly significant, highlighting the effectiveness of the recently declared reserve’s design for capturing suitable foraging habitat for this and probably other marine top predator species.

We have discussed several limitations to the study, however our results show a clear trend for increasing abundance of at least one species group of fishes (bonefishes) at a site where gillnetting was restricted relative to a site where it still occurred, providing compelling evidence for the effectiveness of the gear restrictions in rebuilding an important fishery in Hawai‘i.

Serum CRP and fecal calprotectin both showed a trend towards higher concentrations in the inflamed population compared to uninflamed and healthy controls (CRP data only for the latter group), but the variability was considerable and no statistically significant differences were observed.

When biopsies from non-inflamed patients were compared to those from healthy controls, all 5 cytokines showed a strong trend towards increased levels for the former group, although the difference did not reach significance.

Significance levels of p <0.05 and p <0.01 were considered as statistically significant and statistically highly significant, respectively.

Preliminary analyses indicate that the exposure has increased in areas where maps are available for both periods [ 5 ], but it is hard to assess an overall trend since much of the data has not yet been reported by the member states.

PE decreased with age, F (2, 81) = 2.38, MSE = 384.1, p = .07, η 2 p = .06 although the effect was only marginally significant.

The mainstream outlook on medicinal cannabis is that such a formulation for medicinal use makes the risk of abuse or diversion potential almost insignificant. “From my understanding these medicinal products are not that divertible or desirable...due to their formulation, so the hype of not using it (in fear of abuse) is unjustified” (Interview #30) Many held the firm view that the profession was one of primary care and prevention and was well equipped to manage and assist those who need it most. “We are healthcare professionals and if we identify abuse then we refer people to the correct avenues.

Interestingly, a chronic pain diagnosis was associated decreased odds of having an adenoma and an advanced adenoma, while opioid use was associated a borderline significant increase in the odds of having an adenoma and an advanced adenoma.

Importantly, the frequency of the mutant T allele in patients with β-TM was strongly associated with Hhcy with an estimated OR of 7.7 (95% CI: 2.8–20.9), whereas no significant association was noticed with CT genotype indicating an increasing trend to the incidence of Hhcy with TT genotype in patients with β-TM ( Table 4 ).

The majority of significant linear changes in emotional intolerance as well as AN symptoms can be observed in the HSS group, where each patient displays a significant trend in at least two of the variables.

As a continual variable, a positive association of borderline significance was observed for Sn in the single-metal model.

Our diversity analysis revealed a decreasing trend from 2-year-old to 6-year-old samples which supported the hypothesis that bacterial diversity would decrease over longer cultivation periods.

It is possible that the eight local names given by fishers for fishes no longer caught that could not be found in field guides may be significant in this regard.

Women were also found to exhibit enhanced neural processing of complex social scenes in comparison to nonsocial scenes, whereas men showed a trend for the opposite phenomenon [ 26 , 27 ].

Although a highly significant nested subset pattern was detected, it was not related to the ranking of the area of forest fragments or isolation.
