Exhibition of low nucleotide and high haplotype diversity hints at a possible trend in important functional genes in hepatitis viruses since similar findings have also been recorded on capsid protein VP3/VP1 genes in Hepatis A virus isolates from Palestine [ 31 ].
Post hoc comparisons with the length of time dog owned were not significant, but there appeared to be a possible trend toward lower use of social media the longer the dog had been owned.
This indicates a possible trend toward additional postgraduate training among residency leadership.
Although WNT pathway alterations were not statistically significant, they were observed at a higher frequency in H/L patients (8.4%) compared to NHW patients (4.0%, p = 0.08674), suggesting a possible trend that warrants further investigation.
Although the treatment response of the ablated target nodules is a key indicator of treatment effectiveness, the ‘unequivocal progression or appearance’ of non-target or new lesions also denotes a possible trend of the overall level of substantial worsening, which is closely related to continued therapy ( 25 ).
Although the difference did not reach statistical significance ( p -value = 0.13), it suggests a possible trend toward a greater biomarker response in patients who tolerated up-titration.
We note this particularly as our review has highlighted a possible trend towards the absence of rigorous statistical phylogeographic analyses in current studies of Antarctic biota.
A possible trend toward reduced FA-effect at the end of the study period should motivate a more thorough study of whether the effects are retained in later years, examining the mediators and moderators of importance for achieving an maintaining the effects that FA services seem to have the potential to create on maternal and fetal health across pregnancy and birth.
10 , 24 , 28 – 30 Results from the TRITON-TIMI 38 trial suggested a possible trend toward a reduced efficacy benefit with prasugrel versus clopidogrel in women (relative risk reduction [RRR] in the primary efficacy end point: males 21% versus females 12%). 11 However, there was no indication from the published paper that this difference was statistically significant.
We observed a possible trend towards patients younger than 30 years-old showing BRAF WT tumors.
This finding should be interpreted as a possible trend rather than definitive evidence of functional adaptation (Fig. 2 ).
A possible trend towards increasing localization to the lipid region with increasing depth into SC is apparent for caffeine, but the significance of this trend is unclear.
Captopril ranked among the top two agents for achieving appropriate MAP reduction, with borderline statistical significance - an effect suggesting a possible trend that warrants confirmation in larger studies.
Heart rate also did not significantly predict HEP amplitude ( b = −0.03, p = 0.17), though the direction of the effect suggests a possible trend toward lower HEP amplitudes at higher heart rates.
Several studies found a positive but nonsignificant correlation between the serum level of visfatin and BMI, revealing a possible trend of higher serum lipid levels in psoriasis patients with greater BMI values (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ). 18 , 23 , 26 Likewise, multiple studies ( Table 1 ) have demonstrated that serum visfatin levels were significantly positively correlated with the severity of psoriasis.
These findings suggest dimensional stability and a possible trend of increasing bone density in the collagen group over time.
This difference was notable for all three samples, as confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, and suggests a possible trend in the heavy metal sorption selectivity.
Although our data indicate a possible trend with wild-type Wnt1 showing the highest levels of protein on the surface and Wnt1 C93A/S224A having the lowest levels, none of these differences are statistically significant (Student's t-test p = 0.11 for the comparison of Wnt1 and Wnt1 C93A/S224A).
However, the outcomes analyses did reveal a possible trend toward increased pain and reduced function in some participants who had chronic neck pain and were assigned to the hatha yoga class.
Moreover, these same effects appear to be present in KO Slc1a1 -/- mice and are an equivalent magnitude; 2) Slc1a1 +/- mice display reduced thickness of DMPFC, particularly layer V, which is also consistent with neuroanatomical findings in schizophrenia; 3) Slc1a1 +/- mice exhibit a lower ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) as well as a possible trend for increased oxidative DNA damage in the brain; 4) There appears to be compensatory or downstream effects in the brains of Slc1a1 +/- mice, that lead to significant changes in the expression of genes and pathways involved in synaptic and cognitive functions; 5) There are robust changes in the expr
We did find a relationship between poor OHRQoL and worse respiratory health status and a possible trend towards worse dental exam measures among those with severe COPD exacerbations.
This difference approached statistical significance (Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.050), suggesting a possible trend toward lower technical success in sleeve gastrectomy-related fistulas.
Thus, considering the two retained articles, we observed a putative difference in standardized mean difference with a possible trend toward a higher mean methylation level in patients with neuropathic and inflammatory pain, although without a clear statistical significance.
A greater percentage of GT individuals required surgery compared to GG individuals, suggesting a possible trend for extended rehabilitation.
Finally, we compared the proportion of nutrition and health claims recorded on the food products to the proportion of NHCs obtained in the 2012 study to estimate a possible trend in the use of NHCs.
