“a definite trend”

Introduction Population aging is a definite trend of global population change ( 1 ).

Regarding FI variations, the initial general trend appeared similar for both techniques, but a definite trend with the increase in PTV size was absent.

In the experiments described here fibroadenomas and adeinomas showed a definite trend to develop in older animals in association with well developed lobules w-hile c(arcinomas arose generally in younger animals from ducts and end-buds, i.e tumours arose at a time before all the end-bud regions became converted into (luctules and lobules.

Comparing the median survival times, there was a definite trend toward worse survival in cases with increased EGFR gene copies, although the association between EGFR amplification and survival was nonsignificant.

There is a definite trend in the manufacture of robotic arms toward more dextrous devices, more degrees-of-freedom, and capabilities beyond the human arm. da Vinci designed the first sophisticated robotic arm in 1495 with four degrees-of-freedom and an analog on-board controller supplying power and programmability. von Kemplen’s chess-playing automaton left arm was quite sophisticated.

Although the participation scores appear to exhibit a definite trend with exposure, Group 1 having the highest participation and Group 4 the lowest, absolute differences between the rates of the exposure categories are small.

In contrast to the above situation, for the BiOF 1− x I x solid solutions, the F–Bi 1 (~2.699–3.057 Å), I–Bi 1 (~3.249–3.337 Å), F–Bi 2 (~2.767–6.288 Å), and I–Bi 2 (~2.981–4.939 Å) bond lengths are in a relative large range, and these variations do not follow a definite trend with increasing x .

There is a lack of consistent evidence to suggest shorter treatments, although there is a definite trend towards reducing the length of therapies to as little as 6 weeks of treatment with no apparent impact on reported success rates [ 67 ].

A definite trend of increasing prevalence in all types of urinary incontinence with increased parity suggests cumulative effect.

Interestingly, a similar discrepancy was also previously reported in the Veterans Affairs Health Care System, where mortality and HF hospitalization rates showed a definite trend in opposite directions [ 36 ].

According to the present results, a definite trend regarding moisture and lipid levels could not be concluded for previous HPP during subsequent chilled storage.

However, even if a* and b* values reflected the same variations of L* value, a definite trend was not evaluated.

ty." The reasons for expressing the entire 15 pre-inoculation blood cell values as a single value are as follows: first, the technical inaccuracy of the mean of any particular blood cell value may be great; second, a single such inaccuracy might Since the paper upon distributions (2) was published, a definite trend in cer- tain classes of cells has occurred, necessitating slight changes in the modal values for total white cells, eosinophiles, and lymphocytes.

An insignificant coefficient indicates a lack of a definite trend.

Development of PCR Case Confirmation Rates from 2007 through 2010 The PCR case confirmation rate increased with a definite trend from 42.9% (36/84) to 69.2% (36/52) (coefficient of determination, R 2 = 1) from the first through the third observation period ( figure 2 ).

93 A definite trend using global data has demonstrated that the lower a country’s economic indicators, informal employment increases; this burden is disproportionately taken on by more women than men, as shown in Table 5 .

Nevertheless, comparing our outcomes with previous studies where concurrent endophthalmitis and corneal pathology were managed by simultaneous keratoplasty and pars plana vitrectomy, we noted better functional outcomes a definite trend (though no statistical significance) toward better anatomic and functional outcomes, lesser incidence of phthisis or need for evisceration, lesser need for repeat vitrectomies or repeat intravitreal antibiotics, lesser graft failures and lesser residual infection post-procedure by attempting a primary endoscopic pars plana vitrectomy in such cases.

5 , 59 The role of indole metabolites in other types of immunotherapies such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART), and their impact on severe irAE will be a definite trend for future research.

Physical appearance of the Surfactant Mixtures The physical appearance of the samples as a function of temperature exhibited a definite trend corresponding to a given mole fraction of CTAB ( X CTAB ).

The transfer of farmland contractual management rights has become a definite trend for promoting agricultural development [ 1 ].

gigantica worms The motility of parasites incubated in different concentrations of clorgyline followed a definite trend where the motility of worms first increased initially up to 3–4 hours in a dose dependant manner and then declined subsequently followed by complete immobility leading to paralysis of worms ( Fig 6a ).

Consequently, this current study shows a definite trend of poor outcome of perianal fistula surgery in obese patients with CD.

There was also a definite trend towards increased mean titres of Tier 1A nAbs from Groups 1 to 3 after the first MVA inoculation with the use of the PharmaJet device (mean titres 336.4 DDM, 787.2 D*D*M, and 1614.6 D*D*M* or geometric mean titres 55.8 DDM, 294.4 D*D*M, and 398.6 D*D*M*. * = use of Pharmajet Stratis device).

These values are lower compared to results obtained for radiation ( Kadhim et al , 1997 ) but they show a definite trend towards genomic instability.

The gender distribution of ICU patients is shown in Figure 1 , with a definite trend towards a female predominance.
