“a slight trend”

There is a slight trend of performance deteriorating in women with more significant background parenchymal enhancement (BPE).

For the lipid A parent formulations, A-DOPE showed a slight trend of higher particle size for F1 ( Figure 3 B), while the PDI increased from F1 to F3 (n.s., Figure 3 C) and EE% remained comparable across all fractions for both A-DOPE and A-DEPE LNPs ( Figure 3 D).

The resulting values were nearly identical with a slight trend towards better outcomes (smaller logMAR values) for the FreiBurger.

14 Whereas, in CKD patients comorbid with hypertension, merely a slight trend toward reduced Shannon index and Pielou evenness, alongside increased Goods coverage was detected, indicating distinct degrees in disordered profile of bacterial composition for CKD patients with and without hypertension ( Figure 2 A).

There is a slight trend in decreasing the number of trials which could be explained by an incomplete or unknown planning for the next years.

A slight trend towards lower levels in the ENO-immunized infected mice was observed for several cytokines (e.g.

The separation between the potential phenotypes due to the final outcome was less clear, however, there was a slight trend toward more heterogeneity within the worst responders prior to treatment ( Fig 5D , top).

There was also a slight trend to increase of irisin with age but did not reach statistical significance.

The positive pressure difference during the open phase of the valve was consistently below 5 mmHg, and a slight trend to increasing ΔP with increasing pressure ranges could be detected ( Fig. 7 C).

In terms of BMPR1A , the expression of BMPR1A-Z was a bit male-biased at stage 6/7, but the following sharp decrease of BMPR1A-Z expression in ZZ males made it become significantly female-biased at later stages; however, BMPR1A-A did not show significant sex-biased expression throughout development, although a slight trend of male-biased expression was observed (Fig. 6F ).

In contrast, C57BL/6 are largely tolerable to various dosages of Dex with minimal changes in bone mass except for a slight trend of dose-dependent loss ( Figure 1B ).

A slight trend toward increased CD45 + CD68 + cells at 24 h (Figure 2l ) parallels the 1.29‐fold rise in total CD45 + cells observed in Figure 2h .

Several central provinces (Wuhan in Hubei from 5 to 36 km 2 , Changsha in Hunan from 10 to 25 km 2 ) also showed a slight trend to an extended planting area, while one location showed a decrease trend in coverage (Chengdu in Sichuan from 41 to 22 km 2 ; Figure 4A and B ).

Genes that are specific of the placenta, either early or at term, have a slight trend to be specifically induced by hypoxia in early term placenta.

In these cases, our results suggested a slight trend in the scar acting to increase the DFT.

We found a slight trend toward MRMP patients with more extensive disease ( Appendix Figure 2 ).

Discussion Principal Findings In this population-based analysis of HS surgical care in Canada, there was a slight trend towards increasing number of claims for HS surgery per 100,000 population over the 10-year study period, while the number of providers per 100,000 population decreased, particularly in general surgery.

Although we observed a slight trend towards higher reactivity in the headless HA+WT group, it was not statistically significant ( Fig 5I ).

rossii mitochondria showed a slight trend to increasing contributions of CI with rising temperatures.

In the hypertension cohort, there was a slight trend of decreasing magnitude of the mean cost over the 11 years for the shorter group; a decrease in mean cost was limited to years 2013 and 2014 in the longer group.

Despite a slight trend, neither TTLR three (graph not shown) nor TTLR all ( Fig. 3 ) had a significant correlation with OS or TTP.

Even if monozygotic twins share 100% of their alleles and dizygotic ones only about 50% of their alleles, using the unweighted Unifrac distance, the authors observed that the difference between the microbial communities of each pair of twins was not statistically different, with only a slight trend toward greater similarity among cohabiting monozygotic pairs than dizygotic ones, suggesting a small genetic influence on microbiome composition.

Adjusted R 2 ‐values were similar for the nonspatial and two spatial models of more interest, though CON coefficients were more often significant ( p ≤ .05) for spatial than nonspatial, and HET coefficients showed a slight trend in the opposite direction (Appendix S1 : Table S4). 3.3 Effect sizes dependence on species’ plot basal area abundance and density Regressing the 38 species’ CON effect sizes on growth in P 1 , whether at the individual species’ level they were significant or not, against plot BA (log 10 ‐transformed), showed that the nonspatial model with “ba + CON + HET” led to a substantially better fit ( p ≤ .001) than with “ba + ALL” ( p = .18) (Table 3a ) and accounted for the maximum adjusted and predicted R 2 of all nonspatial and spatial models.

Second, when looking at the long-term effect of VNS over time, we observed an overall improvement for all scales during follow-up, with a slight trend of rebound in absolute improvement mostly at follow-up visits 6 and/or 7 (Table 5 ).

From our results, it seems unlikely that we could have missed a difference in severe thrombocytopenia, but we cannot exclude a slight trend of increase in bleeding events missed due to lack of power.
