Similarly, a positive trend was observed between C. rectus expression and bleeding on probing (BOP) at 1 week in test group.

Neither the crosslinking procedure nor the mineralization affected the cholesteric collagen microstructures; notably, there was a positive trend toward higher stiffness with increasing crosslink density when measured by cantilever-based atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanoindentation.

In these cases, the study aquifers have positive trends in subsurface storage anomalies and are therefore “gaining.” We consider the Human‐Dominated case to be the result of a positive trend from GRACE and negative recharge.

Indeed, differences in relapse rates between cladribine treatment groups and placebo demonstrated a positive trend as early as 4 weeks, with differences more marked and accompanied by non-overlapping confidence intervals after 24 weeks [ 18 , 19 ].

While overall odds of obesity in women with prior GDM were significantly higher those of the non-GDM groups (OR: 1.35; 95% CI, 1.03–1.7; P = 0.03), both these groups overtime revealed a positive trend in obesity (P trend < 0.001), an incremental trend which was less pronounced in GDM women (OR: 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80, 0.95; P interaction = 0.001).

Another notable observation is that a majority of the questions received minimal responses from students, specifically less than one student, indicating a positive trend in the development of STEM skills.

Our present study only described a positive trend of increasing comorbidity prevalence that correlated with increasing cumulative dose of corticosteroids and other immunosuppressants, further research is needed to evaluate the specific associations between cumulative exposure to corticosteroids and the incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis.

We hypothesized as follows: Hypothesis 1: In the period prior to this media tone shift, bias against Asian Americans decreased over time, which we hypothesized based on documented trends in other forms of bias ( Charlesworth & Banaji, 2019 ); Hypothesis 2: After the March 8 increase in stigmatizing language toward Asian Americans (Rizzuto, 2020), trends in bias over time would flatten or reverse to a positive trend.

Although the effect of structured energy intake nutritional therapy on duration of hospital stay, duration of ICU stay, and presence of complications was not statistically significant, there was a positive trend noted on these parameters.

Our results also indicated a positive trend in body self-perception associated with increasing age.

Although a positive trend, no significant decrease in the prevalence of NC was found [ 82 ].

The overall performance of NDVI in Northeast China shows a positive trend.

There was also a positive trend toward better OS, even though some patients switched treatments [ 12 ].

Moreover, to investigate the effect of T2D duration on LDD, by utilizing Spearman correlation analysis, a positive trend was observed between T2D duration and severity of disc degeneration, respectively at L1/2 ( r = 0.264), L2/3 ( r = 0.467), L3/4 ( r = 0.373), L4/5 ( r = 0.346), and L5/S1 ( r = 0.437) in the T2D good control group and L1/2 ( r = 0.211), L2/3 ( r = 0.349), L3/4 ( r = 0.228), L4/5 ( r = 0.240), and L5/S1 ( r = 0.338) in the T2D bad control group; ( P < 0.05).
