Excerpts

We found a clear trend of increasing mortality in ash, particularly reflected in the last available NFI (2010–2014).

In particular, despite the time-course curves of GCS showed a behaviour similar to controls, even if on the edge of the normal range, the curve of GLS showed a trend markedly different, as to suggest a delayed adaptation of the heart to acute hemodynamic overload.

In addition, a highly significant correlation (R2 = 0.89) was found between variability during the last ten familiarization throwing movements and the transfer ratio in the whole expert group, indicating that the more variable the participants, the less they were able to transfer compensations to the non-exposed task, see Fig. 6 .

As for cardiovascular mortality, the association between GNRI and cardiovascular mortality was only marginally significant (Table 2 ).

After reaching the late teenage years or young adulthood, acne prevalence rates follow a decreasing trend with increasing age 19 , 20 .

Although total reproductive output was not significantly affected at increasing concentrations of polystyrene nanoparticles, there was a decreasing trend in the number of offspring over their life-time.

Macular pigment optical density (MPOD), determined with the two-wavelength autofluorescence method, increased over time in the beeswax group (ANOVA, p = 0.0451), although the increase from 3 months to 6 months was only marginally significant.

Nominally significant treatment effect modification was detected for age (interaction p-value 0.042), with the estimated treatment effects being stronger in patients aged 70 years or younger, aHR 1.20 (95% CI; 1.13, 1.28) than in relatively older patients, aHR 1.10 (95% CI; 1.04, 1.17), and for history of CVDD (interaction p < 0.001) (Table 4 ).

Based on these definitions which may bring a much more clinically relatable understanding in MM prognosis, we aimed to assess our database regarding these two concepts and their probable significance in terms of outcome and prognosis.

Especially, there were extremely significant genetic correlation between FcMstn expression and BW1 (−0.91), BW2 (−0.97), BL2 (−0.98), and ADG (−0.84) in females, and there were also significant genetic correlation between FcMstn expression and BW1 (−0.86), BW2 (−0.85), and BL2 (−0.64) in males.

Similarly, Mmp9 proteins (both 67-kD and 78-kD bands) showed a trend of increased expression, which were completely normalized by exercise training (Fig. 3C ).

Looking at the kidney transplant subset, the study population showed a trend to a better outcome, with only 20% of DGF compared to 40% in the control group.

Notably, in the STOP-IgAN cohort, 1 out of 55 patients in the steroid monotherapy group and 5 out of 54 patients in supportive care group progressed to ESRD, demonstrating a slight trend for steroids being superior to supportive care, although there was no statistical significance, which might have resulted from the relatively small number of patients.

However, for both comparisons, the histograms of the P -value distribution showed a clear trend towards the expected shape for truly DE transcripts (Figure IIIC,D in the online-only Data Supplement 1).

We plotted aridity versus plague incidence, then soil salinity versus plague incidence and also, we fitted a Loess regression to identify a possible trend between plague incidence and soil status (Fig. 6 ).

The majority of the cortical structures examined (primary motor cortex, insular cortex, and DLPFC) did not show any significant differences between the RmTBI and sham injury groups, apart from a trend towards significance in the DLPFC.

NO 2 VCDs exhibited an increasing trend over CEC after 2016.

However, some studies suggest no significant trend in extreme precipitation across India 13 , and dry spell has a positive trend in most parts of India 14 .

In the north central GoM, biliary PAHs have demonstrated an increasing trend (108%) in oil exposure over time (2011–2017).

The killing activity was comparable, with a clear trend toward superiority, to that observed versus paired platinum-untreated controls.

The mean HGS exhibited a decreasing trend with advanced age in both men and women.

However, during the intestinal digestion, a decreasing trend in the values of antioxidant activities was observed, as also shown in previous in vitro digestibility studies such as apples 18 , lettuce 44 , and some edible flowers 35 .

Smooth muscle specific WNT5A overexpression showed a clear trend towards enhanced actin (α-SMA) expression in the ASM in ovalbumin challenged animals, but had no effect on collagen content.

WNT5A showed a trend towards increased airway smooth muscle thickness in allergen challenged animals but did not regulate deposition of extracellular matrix components.

In fact, the association of milk consumption with the three z-scores was positive and highly significant in the unadjusted model.
