“a decreasing trend”

Despite mixed reports of a decreasing trend in MLEA in England, it is encouraging that there is no evidence for an increasing trend in the general population considering the increase in prevalence of type 2 diabetes. 49 Some reports found evidence of an increase in the incidence of minor lower limb amputations that may partly explain this. 7 However, there is evidence of a statistically significant rise in the number of amputations in those with type 2 diabetes from one report. 45 This increasing trend was seen over the 1996–2005 period; with no more recent studies, it is unclear as to whether this trend is continuing.

We expected high r.α and especially α(II) under blue wavelengths and thus a decreasing trend from 440–590 nm, with a small increase at 625 nm.

However, the transfer of crop land in was much smaller than the transfer out, so it mainly showed a decreasing trend.

8 Despite a decreasing trend, all‐cause mortality of HF patients was significantly higher in comparison with the ESC‐HF Long‐Term Registry (8.1% all‐cause deaths in 1 year). 12 The possible explanation could be the fact that only patients seen at cardiology outpatient clinics and not patients with chronic HF seen in other ambulatory facilities or those seen by other professionals such as internists were included in the ESC‐HF Long‐Term Registry.

We report similar incidence and severity of xerostomia and a decreasing trend of xerostomia years after IMRT.

The RRGS experiment conducted in Wohlde and Adenstedt showed the highest correlations with the HYWHEAT experiments with a decreasing trend toward Mintraching, Sossmar, Boehnshausen, and Hadmersleben.

( 2008 ) reported that among the different isomers of tocopherol, only the amount of alpha tocopherol increased during the purification process and other isomers followed a decreasing trend.

9 On comparing the results shown above for the solvents with BK-1 diluent with earlier data obtained with octan-1-ol, it can be concluded that the systems behave in a similar way, even though the radiation stability of the systems with BK-1 was inferior to those with octan-1-ol. In both diluents, a decreasing trend for the distribution ratios as the absorbed dose increased was observed.

Apparent activation energy exhibited an initially increasing trend, followed by a decreasing trend, with an increased conversion degree before T ig .

2 ). Discussion Analysis of surveillance data from 2015 to 2018 showed a decreasing trend nationally in wasting among pregnant and lactating women.

Despite a decreasing trend in the incidence of GC in most countries of the world, the treatment results of this pathology cannot be considered satisfactory.

The hearts of cirrhotic animals were bigger than those of controls, but showed a decreasing trend after eight weeks.

Compared with baseline levels, the mean change in ALT levels demonstrated a decreasing trend among all patients ( Figure 3F ).

There was a decreasing trend in disease burden from 2010 through 2018, in addition to a strong seasonal pattern.

On the other hand, patients with chikungunya presented a decreasing trend in the levels of CXCL8, CCL2, CCL5, CXCL10, and IL-6 after 1 or 2-3 DPSO, but patients with OAFD did not follow this pattern.

These results show that the organs most likely to be affected by CNP were the prostate and thymus; the water extraction groups showed a decreasing trend of prostate index and thymus index compared with the model group.

Yet the results of this study showed that the effect sizes of the negative effect of proactive burnout prevention on burnout showed a decreasing trend from 3 to 6 and 9 weeks (see Figure 1 ).

Conclusion Across the two last decades the RR of CVD has shown a decreasing trend in HD and PD patients, while RR of pneumonia increased significantly, both in PD and in HD.

Plotting the mechanical properties at a single representative angular frequency (ω = 10 rad/s) shows a decreasing trend in both storage and loss moduli as gels decrease in network density, consistent with previous observations for similar materials (Figure 2(b) ). 31 A flow sweep evaluating the shear‐rate dependence of the materials was performed to examine the gels' viscosity and yield stress behavior (Figure 2(c),(d) ).

The smartphone addiction in the basic control period (September) and the basic end period (December) is significantly lower than that in the severe period (January to March), namely with the epidemic gradually under control, the levels of smartphone addiction among university students show a decreasing trend (confirmation of Hypothesis 1c).

Short-term excursions are also evident in the LST record, which registered a decreasing trend in winter, summer, and spring between 2001 and 2004 with temperature reductions of 2.7 °C, 4.4 °C, and 1.3 °C, respectively.

Although the difference did not reach statistical significance, a decreasing trend was observed during the period of evaluation.

Also, with natural recovery, the abundance of Gaiella also showed a decreasing trend.

Notably, the number of pulmonary monocytes exhibited a decreasing trend as early as 24 hrs after a single dose of anti‐IFNAR1, and the decrease became more evident after 1 week of treatment (Figure S4b ).

Nevertheless, whereas they showed a continuing increase in the probability of discontinuation, we noted a decreasing trend in the probability of discontinuation after the first 6 months.
