1 INTRODUCTION Several studies have reported a worldwide increase in thyroid cancer incidence and a decreasing trend in mortality. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 In addition, in Japan, the age‐adjusted thyroid cancer incidence rate increased: from 2.1 and 9.3 per 100 000 person‐years among men and women, respectively, in 1990 to 4.1 and 12.3 per 100 000 person‐years in 2012.

In our study we find that the frequency of PTB and EPTB has a decreasing trend in FBiH, but the ratio of PTB and EPTB remains approximately the same- from 13% in 2014 to 11% in 2017. 5.

The annual TB incidence generally presented a decreasing trend; nevertheless, a noticeable rebound was discerned from 2013 to 2015 (Fig. 2 ).

After 2% MPTS modification, the pore volumes within both size ranges were very high, and then with the increase of MPTS concentration, the pore volumes in the mesopore regions (4–5 nm, 6–10 nm, 12–15 nm and 19–25 nm) all showed a decreasing trend, indicating that more and more MPTS filled the pores (grafted on the silica surface) with the increasing concentration.

In the last three years of the study, there was a decreasing trend in the mean age of EDs.

MiR-486-5p was another miRNA that showed a decreasing trend of villus expression in RM patients, and its lower expression level in the cumulus cells of polycystic ovary syndrome patients was also reported [ 30 ].

Distribution trends for general practitioners in Iran According to the findings, the number of GPs per capita in Iran in 2010 was 2.679 which showed a small amount of increase by 2012, while the GC for distribution of GPs shows a decreasing trend (increase in distribution equality).

Seventeen studies demonstrated a decreasing trend in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure following vitamin D supplementation, though these changes were not statistically significant ( 50 , 62 , 82 , 86 , 92 , 95 , 108 , 116 , 117 , 119 , 123 – 125 , 127 , 130 , 131 , 135 ).

volvacea strain VH3 showed a decreasing trend, and the expression level at 6 h decreased to 0.48 times of that detected at 0 h.

Conclusions: From our study, we observed that the IC angle shows a decreasing trend with increasing age.

Stroke patients showed a decreasing trend in the connection between the parietal-occipital and the frontal area as the severity of the depression increased.
