“a slight trend”

Previously we have demonstrated that both the height of an urban building and the floor height that the child lives on can directly influence indoor concentrations of street-level pollutants; low-rise buildings and apartments on floors 0–2 have higher concentrations than homes on higher floors.( 30 ) Although we had limited power for subgroup analysis, we observed a slight trend towards a greater association between NO 2 and urgent asthma among children in HAPN that lived on lower floor apartment units.

Prasugrel 5 mg, in turn, was rarely prescribed in younger patients and showed a slight trend toward increased use in older individuals.

The authors reported that inositol supplementation significantly reduced fasting insulin and HOMA index, with a slight trend towards testosterone decrease with respect to controls.

Although there appears to be a slight trend towards growth, this would be due to the wear effect on the different test radii.

Inguinal LND was predominantly performed in a radical or modified fashion, with a slight trend towards an increasing use of the sentinel technique.

There was a slight trend toward decreasing antibiotic use over the seasons, whereas antiviral use fluctuated by season.

However, there is a slight trend towards less erythroid and lymphoid cells within the mutants, similar to the defects found in adult snai2 mutant mice, which may suggest that this function is conserved.

Comparing the different 3D structural parameters, we observed a slight trend towards larger median equivalent diameter and median volume for both Bowman's capsule and glomerulus in the 5-day trauma group (Figures 6(a) and 6(c) ), whereas the sphericity of the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus was the largest in the 24 h trauma group compared to the other groups ( Figure 6(b) ).

There was a slight trend towards higher accuracy in congruent conditions in general, but this did not reach significance.

Although we observed a slight trend towards increased numbers of BrdU + O4 + cells in the SGZ of anti-EGF Ab-treated EAE mice, this trend did not reach a level of significance (0.6 ± 0.1 in the anti-EGF Ab-treated group versus 0.4% ± 0.02 in the IC-treated group, P = NS, Figures 4(a) , 4(b) , and 4(c) ).

There was also a slight trend towards increased white matter volume in the temporal region; however, this increase did not achieve statistical significance.

We observed a slight trend toward shorter telomeres at the apex of Pocillopora spp. branches.

QoL varied substantially between surgery types and there was a slight trend for physical health to deteriorate after surgery (Tables S8–S12 and Figure S2, http://links.lww.com/AOSO/A442 ).

By comparing the expression of miRNAs in therapy-sensitive and therapy-resistant NB patients, only miR-16 was significantly down-regulated in the bone marrow of non-responder patients ( Figure 3 ), while the other miRNAs analyzed were not significantly modified, even though a slight trend of reduction in non-responder patients was observed.

Moreover, we also investigated CD8A and IgG (IGHG) mRNA levels in the lungs of the GX −/− mice throughout the time course and there was a slight trend for increase CD8A levels.

Vice versa, in the right hemisphere, a slight trend of increasing desynchronization from C to CP to P and finally to O appeared in both the time windows ( Figure 5 ).

We observed a concentration-dependent increase in pre-cDC1s ( Figure 1K ), however we do not observe an increase in CD8α + cDC1s ( Figure 1L ) and only a slight trend toward increased CD103 + cDC1s ( Figure 1M ).

The CAM assay further revealed a slight trend toward increased angiogenesis in the combination group compared to individual GF treatments.

Conclusion The presented data did not show a decrease in training performance, but a slight trend towards an increase.

Similar findings were observed in round 2, when the questions distinguished between PWMS who had started DMF as a first-line therapy and those who had switched to DMF in the last 6 months, with a slight trend toward switching PWMS reporting fewer GI AEs (see Figure, Supplemental Digital Content 5, available at http://links.lww.com/JNN/A209 ).

10 Concerns regarding secondary malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia and brain tumors, have been reported only in pediatric patients, with a slight trend favoring the control group. 10 Furthermore, there is a consideration that dexrazoxane may exacerbate myelosuppression caused by chemotherapeutic agents, as evidenced by a lower nadir in white blood cell count in the dexrazoxane group, although no significant differences were observed in the incidence rates of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia. 10 Overall, the totality of available evidence robustly supports the use of dexrazoxane in adult patients at high risk for developing AIC.

In the axial skeleton, this effect was observed before the onset of treatment and in the follow-up examination, while in the appendicular skeleton, only a slight trend was noticeable in the follow-up 18 F-FDG-PET scan; this difference could be due to an expansion of the active BM.

The 30 nm AuNPs with PEG 800 induced a slight trend of decreasing viability related to increasing AuNPs concentration, but the lowest viability gained about 80%.

Little variation in exflagellation occurs in response to KA and Tryp over the range of concentrations tested, though there is a slight trend for inhibition at the highest concentrations.

The graph created based on median values ( Figure 5 ), where the Medit i700 scanner showed higher values for linear and mixed strategies (8 μm), indicating a slight trend towards higher but constant mean deviations, while Trios 5 recorded lower median deviations (2–3 μm) for the same strategy, suggesting better point accuracy.
