“a decreasing trend”

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.

However, the proportions of oocytes with good quality (Grades 1 or 2) PB1s showed a decreasing trend over time ( Figure 4 ).

There was a decreasing trend of 8-OHdG with increasing TC (up to 219 mg/dL).

The intra-group similarity of muscle synergies related to both healthy control group and post-stroke patients was characterized by a decreasing trend with respect to the number of retained synergies (Figure 4 ).

Our results showed the mRNA and protein expressions of L-type calcium channels α 1 c after 6 h rapid pacing had a decreasing trend, and the expressions of L-type calcium channels α 1 c reduced over time.

However, there was no change or a decreasing trend in fructosamine in the groups that consumed the Jeju waters.

A positive value of Z denotes an increasing trend, and the opposite corresponds to a decreasing trend. 2.3.2.

A decreasing trend emerged thus confirming that the training did not only enable Francesca to read words, but also allowed her to “learn to learn.” In other words, the girl did not only learn to read some words, but she actually learned reading in general.

Our results show an upregulation of SCN2B gene, but a decreasing trend not significant compared to CNT in the level of SCN2B protein.

We observed a decreasing trend in the weighting factor w when reducing the number of SNPs but the extent of the decrease was limited, so that even with 10′000 SNPs a high percentage of the genetic variance (71.2% for milk yield and 75.3% for somatic cell score, both with model D2) is captured and not much is gained by applying a more than four-fold SNP density.

The effects of water addition and N addition on soil nematode communities In our study, N addition decreased the soil nematode communities in the O horizon, which showed a decreasing trend in total nematode abundance and trophic diversity.

Why that trend was observed in most males from Denmark but the two males from NW Spain showed either no trend or a decreasing trend is unclear but again the difference is suggestive of dissimilarities between individuals from the two regions, either on their foraging behaviour or in their patterns of movements and, consequently, on the δ 15 N baselines of the waters they inhabit.

From Figure 8 , the absolute zeta potential tended to increase whereas particle size appeared to exhibit a decreasing trend.

Effect of SCFAs on mRNA Levels of GH, PRL and Pit-1 in DCAPCs The mRNA levels of GH and PRL showed a decreasing trend in the SCFAs-treated groups.

Monthly mean tropopause height showed a decreasing trend with increased latitude, varying between 15 km and 17 km in southern China, and between 8 km and 11 km in the north.

With the increased use of contraceptives over the years, there has been a decreasing trend in the global unintended pregnancy rate which declined from 69 per 1,000 women 15-44 years age in 1995 to 55 per 1000 women 15-44 years age in 2008.

Additionally, both measures displayed a decreasing trend from 1992 to 2012 for the four tree species, which was statistically significant for oak and spruce sites.

The surface curvature of the entire cavity exhibits a decreasing trend from the vertex to the bottom region.

Increasing Ertapenem consumption did not result in a decreasing trend of ESBL producing enterobacteriaceae and could result in the selection for multi-drug resistant bacteria.

For higher bladder volumes, the rectum dose showed a decreasing trend.

Although not significant (p>0.05), knee loading at 1 N showed a decreasing trend of NGFß in the femur and cartilage as compared to the control, consistent with the previous report [12] .

A decreasing trend was observed in all the postoperative complications: postoperative vaginal discharge decreased from 6/100 (6%) in block A to 9/388 (2.3%) in block D; urinary tract infection, from 5/100 (5%) to 2/388 (0.5%) in block D; and fever, from 1/100 (1%) in block A to 2/388 (0.5%) in block D.
