Considering all the infections, no statistical differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the incidence and number of infections per patient during the follow-up period, although there was a slight trend to a higher number of infections per patient in the polymorphism group than in the wild-type group.
Indeed, a slight trend to larger “ m -values” of TMAO in the presence of urea has been observed 20 ( m -values are a measure of how potent an osmolyte is in stabilizing a protein).
By contrast to slc41a1-1 , slc41a1-2 did not present any significant difference between groups during PST, just a slight trend to higher expression in the smolt group.
Furthermore, Salfi and collaborators [ 15 ] showed that women reported higher scores than men on sleep and mental health scales at the beginning of the lockdown, but they exhibited a slight trend toward improvement of mental health in the following weeks, unlike male participants who reported a substantial increment of perceived stress.
We observed a slight trend towards increased relapse in the mutant group, but given the conflicting directions of effect and substantial heterogeneity, no definitive conclusion can be drawn.
There was a slight trend for higher frequency of the C allele in the control group, especially in the patients without atopy, no positive patch test or LTT reaction.
These rates show trend increases from phase 0 onwards, with a slight trend for reduced rates at phase 5 in 0–14 year age groups.
22 A systematic review by Pollono et al 22 found a slight trend of increases in TC and HDL after anti-TNF therapy.
The number of bootstrap replicates used did not impact the test results, although there was a slight trend towards 0 in the t values for all impact classes with more bootstraps (Table 2 ).
There was very little difference between SIMD quintiles, although there was a slight trend with less deprivation being associated with higher odds of review (quintile 5 versus quintile 1 OR 1.13, 95% CI = 1.08 to 1.19).
However, the COPD cells showed only a slight trend of decrease in Mp levels.
There were no significant differences ( p > 0.05) in Grace, but there was a slight trend of improvement in the IG (IG −25.00 ± 10.74 %Δ) compared to the CG (−24.73 ± 10.58%Δ). 4.
There was a slight trend toward increasing residuals with increasing values of the dependent variable; in our opinion this trend was not enough to invalidate the linear model, in view of the high correlations obtained and the linear appearance of scatter plots.
This distributional pattern mirrors the body mass findings in our adult cohort: relative to controls, HC-treated rats showed a distribution centered near 0% change with a slight trend toward modest weight loss; most animals clustered close to no change, and the remainder split between small losses and small gains.
The outcome showed no significant difference among tested OGB-1 loading protocols across the dendritic compartments ( Figure 2 F; the data suggest a slight trend toward lower [Ca 2+ ] at the higher OGB-1).
Although a slight trend in favor of the SurgiMend group is apparent, no statistical significance was achieved.
Although a slight trend of atrophy and myosin loss being more prominent in slow‐ than fast‐twitch muscles and interpreted to be secondary to a faster protein turnover rate in slow‐ than fast‐twitch muscles. 9 However, the mechanisms underlying the impaired force generation capacity (specific force) at the single muscle fibre level differ between limb and diaphragm muscles, although the molecular motor protein myosin plays a critical role in both limb and respiratory muscles.
In addition, there was a slight trend toward an increase in the median in PKA knockdown.
We observed a slight trend of decreasing intercepts with increasing age and the biggest drop down in the oldest age group >70 years (intercepts of item 5 in six age groups: (1) 5.21; (2) 5.34; (3) 5.24; (4) 5.01; (5) 4.66; (6) 4.03; intercepts of item 11: (1) 5.67; (2) 5.76; (3) 5.66; (4) 5.47; (5) 5.34; (6) 4.71).
While there was a slight trend towards lower MDI and PDI in children with grades 2/3/4 Papile PIVH, this difference was not statistically significant.
The median difference was +1dB(A); Quartiles: -3, 7 dB(A); 2.5-97.5 percentiles: -10, 18 dB(A) (n = 2,966) with a slight trend towards larger over-estimations at higher noise levels [ 29 ].
There was a slight trend of lower incidence with minimum temperature increases i.e. the lower the minimum temperature, the higher the number of cases. • A relationship was also found between altitude and spread of the disease.
Analysis of intrahepatic leukocytes by flow cytometry showed a slight trend to increased leukocytes in prf1 −/− cxcl9 −/− mice that was not statistically significant (Fig. 4 d).
48 Upon exposure to 2-AAF, microsomal enzymes gave a slight trend in DNA damage ( Fig. 3a ), but differences had low statistical significance by t -tests (Table S5, ESI † ).
The angiographic image of patients qualified for PCI with RA did not change significantly in successive years (from 2014 to 2017), but a slight trend was noted regarding the increase in the percentage of patients with multivessel disease and left-main coronary artery involvement (from 13.2% in 2014 to 16.6% in 2017).
