“a positive trend”

Moreover, one DTI study showed a positive trend between verbal fluency scores and FA values of left UF in AD patients [ 46 ].

We also report a direct observation of a positive trend towards more breast-conserving therapy in the Middle East and Low- and Middle Income Countries.

There was a positive trend for left premotor cortex to left supramarginal gyrus (SMG; Table 2 ), where Dancers had greater FC than Non-Dancers.

Additionally, social isolation showed a positive trend with the risk of CD onset (P for trend = 0.029) (Supplementary Table S8 ).

Paired comparison revealed a statistically significant decrease in fecal zonulin levels in the ASD2 group compared to ASD1, which may indicate a positive trend in the state of the intestinal barrier.

With regard to the level of perception of PA, although the improvements were not statistically significant, a positive trend (delta scores) was detected after implementation in the variables of the experimental group; meanwhile, in the control group these scores were far lower.

3.5 Speech and language development A positive trend in speech and language development was observed over the 12-month period in most patients, with half the patient population speaking Sentences at 12 months, three patients (25%) speaking 1–3 words and two patients (16.7%) speaking 10–20 words ( Table 4 , Figure 4 ).

Economic, social, human, and natural elements achieved harmonious development and mutual promotion, with all systems moving towards a positive trend.

These figures show a positive trend but are indicative, not definitive.

KDR conductances were found in all cells, and conductance values showed a positive trend with increasing capacitance (Figure 5 B), and KDR conductance density was 0.14 ± 0.06 nS/pF (mean ± SD, n = 23).

However, a more rigorous pre-clinical study is mandated to confirm these outcomes with statistical significance for the results which have shown a positive trend.

Spatial analyses further showed an overall negative association between NETs and CD8 + T-cell density and a positive trend with cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-related markers [ 63 ].

However, at this time of observation, neither PKR1 nor PKR2 were upregulated, although a positive trend was shown for PKR2.

Additionally, a positive trend was observed in terms of reduced sensitivity.

A Mantel test for geographic distance and F ST excluding the Flat Rock Reef Cay population illustrated a positive trend and implied a stronger correlation, but was not significant ( p = 0.10, r = 0.60).

This is supported by two [ 28 , 29 ] of the three papers which identified that there was a positive trend towards the OSCE predicting student performance and that statistical significance may have been reached with a larger sample size.

There was a positive trend in favour of the intervention group for maternal anxiety but not loneliness or use of health services.

A 15-year long record (2002–2016) of NASA’s A-train satellite measurements have revealed a positive trend in the total fire activity and resulting aerosol loads over IGP.

Under this aerating condition, the amount of SBF continued a positive trend with increasing cell density up to OD 600 of 0.8, the highest in our experiments ( Figure 3A and Supplementary Figure 3 ).

The results of this survey showed a positive trend in patients’ attitudes toward telemedicine in both age groups, with a higher satisfaction rate in the group of older patients.

Subspecialization in surgical versus medical training (cardiology, ICU, and anesthesia) exhibited a positive trend, with 100% of the surgical subspecialty respondents initiating VTE prophylaxis compared to only 72% of the medical subspecialty respondents, but did not reach a statistical significance on initiating prophylaxis ( P = 0.058) (odds ratio = 1.4, 95% Confidence Interval = 1–1.9).

The fact that the patient maintained better ROM at follow-up than baseline suggests a positive trend.

Firstly, we found a notable emphasis on tweets discussing the harmful effects of tobacco, indicating a positive trend toward increased awareness among users.

Other histopathological parameters such as tumor size, angioinvasion and higher tumor stage were not significantly correlated with the chromosomal instability, though a positive trend was detected (Fig. 2 C).

Process measures A positive trend for men and women <75 years of age was observed for all process measures with a temporary decrease in 2003 and 2006 for most variables ( Fig 1 and Table 2 ).
