“a decreasing trend”

SBo induced a decreasing trend in serum total, intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and subfractions of IDL and LDL in group B.

The intensity of admission screening was associated with a decreasing trend in monthly MRSA isolation rate from clinical cultures (aIRR 0.91/month with 100% compliance with screening, 95% CI 0.85 to 0.98).

A trend of improvements in grip strength and a decreasing trend of depression levels were observed among the qigong group.

Studies indicate a decreasing trend for energy expenditure at work [28] , and workers in many professions spend on average more than 70% of their work time sitting [29] , [30] .

There were a decreasing trend of OR for AST over the recruitment year and publication year of studies; however, after removal of two earliest studies [60] , [61] , the effect of recruitment year and publication year on OR was lost, suggesting the two early studies overestimated the association with DSS.

For instance, habituation to novelty appeared to contribute to the pattern of performance on the respiration measure, and the temporal pattern of freezing during the CS changed from a decreasing trend during acquisition to an increasing trend during retention, likely attributable to extinction of freezing to the context between the two sessions.

In contrast, Vps34 ablation only caused a decreasing trend in protein degradation through the microautophagy and/or chaperone-mediated autophagy pathways, suggesting that these lysosomal functions are not affected by the lack of Vps34 at this time-point of study ( Figure 6B ).

Over the 2 years of treatment, there was a decreasing trend in mean ALT (Fig. 6 ).

Although depth, velocity and channel slope varied significantly ( p < 0.001, n = 34) between tributaries and recipient streams, none of these variables explained the observed shifts in microbial diversity and evenness across confluences. At the scale of the study network, richness, Shannon diversity and Simpson diversity all exhibited a decreasing trend from small to large streams; also, the variability of these indices decreased markedly downstream.

A decreasing trend towards the T H 1 cytokines (IFNγ) in KC, may suggest presence of complex imbalance in the cytokines leading to altered epithelial and stromal function in this disease [ 16 ].

Relative Growth Rate (RGR) Irrespective of treatments, RGR was more at early stage (30 to 50 DAS) and showed a decreasing trend with the advancement of plant age ( Figure 6 ).

Previous studies highlight that measles CFR is higher in unvaccinated children <5 years old than in older children, with a decreasing trend with each year increase in age [17] .

Although we did observe a decreasing trend for Cu in each, we found that when Cu is expressed as a percentage of total Cu for each individual ( Figure 2 ), no significant differences were observed, suggesting a conservation of Cu equilibrium that may be homoeostatically regulated.

In the present study, UCa/Cr showed a decreasing trend with increasing age, although this finding was not significant ( Table 1 ).

An increasing trend in the prevalence of the pfcrt K76 wild type allele from 19 to 59% from 2005 to 2010 and a decreasing trend for pfcrt T76 from 88 to 56% for the same period were observed.

[ 1 ] have shown a decreasing trend in their historical series of average annual wind speeds for weather stations in the NEB region (Caravels-BA; Parnaíba Sul region-PI; Maceió-AL).

The mortality rates presented a decreasing trend in space with the increase of the distance from the mining and smelting area pollution sources.

pylori infection showed a decreasing trend as serum FT4 level increased ( P trend = 0.020).

AG exhibited a decreasing trend of TF activity across the four cell types with CLV3n showing the highest activity.

The long-term carbon accumulation rate for SDIC ranges from 29.54 at 0-1 m depth to 7.58 g C m -2 yr -1 at 3-6 m depth, with a decreasing trend with depth.

While HIV-1 prevalence among the general population in low- and middle-income countries has exhibited a decreasing trend in recent years, men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV-1 infection, with approximately 19 times odds of being infected with HIV-1 [3] .

A logistic regression model showed a decreasing trend of risk of positive H. pylori status at age 49-51 years with increasing age of first measles infection (continuous OR 0.86 per year, 95% CI 0.76-0.98, unadjusted p = 0.02).

The results of statistical analysis of m RNA expression levels of NOS-1 and NOS-2 genes in selected sections of the gastrointestinal tract and the liver of gilts intoxicated with mycotoxins on different experimental dates ( Figure 1 A–F) point to a decreasing trend in the m RNA expression levels of NOS-1 genes ( Figure 1 A–D) in all experimental groups in comparison with group C, between group M and groups Z and D, and between group Z and group D.

Discussion Although a decreasing trend in the number of annual malaria cases has been reported in Colombia since 2001, transmission peaks were observed in 2007 and 2010, the latter representing a 32.6% increase from the previous year (2009).

The percentage shows a decreasing trend with two smaller peaks of 13.6% and 8.8% in the age-groups 20–24 and 30–34 years, respectively.
