“a decreasing trend”

The SBP showed a decreasing trend during the initial 15 min intra-operatively in both groups and thereafter it was stable [ Figure 1 ], but these changes were statistically not significant when compared at corresponding time intervals.

Although it has been shown that the incidence of gastric cancer is now following a decreasing trend, the mortality rate and incidence of gastric cancer remain high in the majority of developing countries ( 2 ).

The incidence rates of malaria in SP from 1980-2007 show a decreasing trend ( Couto et al. 2010 ).

Acetylcholine (Ach) Level and Activities of ChAT and Acetylcholinesterase in the Cerebral Cortex Although ACh level showed a decreasing trend in AD-like mice, no significant alteration was found, and activities of ChAT and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the cerebral cortex did not differ significantly among groups ( Figure 6 ). 2.7.

Interestingly, a decreasing trend in β-sheet aggregation was observed by ThT assay, where the intensity of the signal decreased with the length of the lipid chain ( Figure 2H ).

In this study, we revealed a decreasing trend for the FRS and 10-year CVD risk over time, likely due to the significant decrease in BP and increase in HDL-C as a result of medication effects or therapeutic interventions.

At 3 dpi, a decreasing trend in levels of both chlorophyll a and b was detected when comparing infected with uninfected rice plants.

The area burned also followed a decreasing trend all over Yunnan during the period 1982–2008 ( Figure 2 ).

A decreasing trend (increased non-susceptibility) was noted for co-trimoxazole, erythromycin, and ceftriaxone; cefotaxime showed no change, whereas an increasing trend was noted for penicillin, and chloramphenicol ( Figure 3c ).

STRUCTURE showed that the highest average likelihood was found to be K = 1 in all year classes together with a decreasing trend of LnP(D) across consecutive values of K (Table A in File S1 ).

And, the pores on the inner side which was in a direct contact with the template were randomly organized with the size ranging between 5-10 μm ( Figure 2g ), and were following a decreasing trend with respect to the increasing polymer concentration (data not presented).

During the first 24 hours after hospital admission, although there were no statistically significant differences in medication utilization both singly and in combination in relation to the number of CVD comorbidities previously diagnosed, there was a decreasing trend in the proportion of patients who received effective cardiac medications as the number of cardiac comorbidities increased ( Table 2 ).

The proportion of overweight was not different by HLA, but percent obesity varied by age with a decreasing trend among DQ2/8 carriers ( p for trend = 0.0315).

Both showed an increasing pattern from 1996 to 2002, with subtle wax and wane, and a peak at 2003 that was followed by a decreasing trend in V SW and a semi-stable pattern in A P , toward the end of solar cycle ( Figure 1 ).

We also observed a decreasing trend in early but not discharge P2Y12 antagonist use over time among NSTEMI patients, suggesting that clinicians may be delaying the use and choice of P2Y12 antagonist until a revascularization strategy has been selected.

A decreasing trend of tiller number per hill was observed after the reproductive stage, irrespective of treatment.

Wood anatomical parameters showed a decreasing trend with increasing air temperature using pooled data from all species along both NevCAN transects ( Fig. 6 , Appendices S3 and S4).

The first (63.2%) was found in the youngest women (≤35 years), followed by a decreasing trend until the age of 55–60 years (31.1%).

In addition, while there was a decreasing trend in average length of stay within each of the two groups, that measure averaged about one day longer in the rate-setting States throughout the 1969 to 1978 period.

The overall results are shown in Figure 12 , where we can see clearly that with an increase of the ECD, the α power percentages and the fluctuations of the RMS values exhibit a tendency to increase, whilst the β power percentages show a decreasing trend (except for the slight increase at the FC stage).

As a whole, the FCB corrections of all GPS satellites have a decreasing trend with time.

2C ) Determinants of bacterial community diversity at the regional scale and its relation to potential disease risk a) In host populations At the regional scale, diversity of bacteria in host populations did not increase, and even showed a decreasing trend, with increased host diversity ( Fig. 2D ). b) In host communities As predicted, at the regional scale diversity of bacteria in host communities increased with host diversity ( Fig. 2E ).

There is a decreasing trend in the incidence of this cancer.

There was a decreasing trend in the GM (2003, 5.89 μg/dL; 2011, 3.53 μg/dL; Table 2 ) and median (2003, 5.50 μg/dL; 2011, 3.38 μg/dL; Figure 1 ) blood lead levels over time.

Notably, there is a decreasing trend in relative rates from the northwestern coastal districts to the urban areas.
