“a slight trend”

Analysis of cumulative distributions of AMPA mEPSC amplitudes revealed a slight trend to increased amplitudes upon N-cadherin expression ( Fig. 1E ).

There was a slight trend to higher rate of death in those who have a health check and have cancer.

For the fractionated phosphogypsum samples, it was found that there is a slight trend for decreasing of 226 Ra enrichment factor with increasing grain size of the materials.

There appeared to be a slight trend toward increased engraftment in Fanca +/− over WT littermates, though this was not statistically significant, and additional experiments to increase the sample size were challenging to perform due to poor breeding efficiencies of these mice.

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.

IL-15 and IL-2 increase LIR-1 on purified NK cells In our donors we observed a slight trend toward increased surface expression of LIR-1, on NK cells treated with IL-15 in PBL cultures though largely not statistically significant (Table 1 ).

There was a slight trend for patients in the heaviest weight category to experience either almost as much movement or more movement using KED than RE.

Similarly, Wu et al, showed that hBMSCs cultured in a Copper-containing mesoporous bioactive glass scaffolds (Cu-MBG) display a slight trend of increased in ALP activity compared to those without Cu ions [ 54 ].

For F68 FE-AAV gels there appeared to be a slight trend towards less degradation following storage, but as a group, F68 FE-AAV gels stored at 4 °C or −80 °C did not differ significantly from controls.

We do see a slight trend of EPID-based PSQA results as a function of MLC MF, similar to the results reported by Vial et al. 29 This effect could be typically associated with increased leaves transmission factor through the MLCs compared to the prediction from the PDIP algorithm due to higher beam MF.

These results suggest that while evolutionary rates drop throughout Sphenodontia as found in previous studies, Sphenodontia experienced a slight trend towards increased rates in some clades during the Jurassic (see Pleurosaurus goldfussi , Kallimodon spp., and sapheosaurs).

Since 4 October 2019, the surface of region A-1 had begun to show a slight trend of subsidence, and then the funnel-shaped subsidence began to gradually form.

We observed a slight trend toward lower levels of IL-7 and IFN-α in the groups receiving unmodified and high-dose modified mRNA vaccine, which may suggest potential induction of TLR tolerance.

There is the suggestion of a slight trend to greater levels of effectiveness for interventions incorporating biological vector control methods 56 , 58 , 61 versus chemical vector control methods 38 , 66 , 69 , 72 , but this is not statistically significant.

Pecavaptan fully counteracted the decrease in CO, whereas tolvaptan exhibited only a slight trend of improvement in the 100 and 300 μg/kg doses.

Analysis of postoperative MRI Residual tumor The residual measured in the postoperative MRI was about 20%, with a slight trend towards less residual in monitored patients.

Against this background, a slight trend for DOM of definite determiners can be inferred.

Antibiotic use resulted in a slight trend toward increased likelihood of nausea and chills, while catheter changes had no apparent impact in this analysis.

Additionally, there was a slight trend indicating a higher endophyte infection frequency of AR501 in tall fescue than perennial ryegrass ( Table 1 ).

Only a slight trend of increasing ALT and AST towards later timepoints was noted following AHFV sc/iv or KFDV sc/iv inoculation ( Fig 4J–4L ), although these increases are not considered clinically relevant.

Patients with two metastatic sites, where one of them is the lung tends to have a slight trend to a worse outcome.

In addition, Kaplan-Meier analyses of Sparc mRNA levels also showed a slight trend towards a prolonged survival time for patients having a higher Sparc mRNA expression but this effect was only visible after 200 days of the survival period (Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon Test, p = 0.1974, hazard ratio: 1.416).

We observed that co-formulation of ruxolitinib with saRNA did not have any effect on the percentage of EGFP + cells ( Figure 4 C), although there was a slight trend that increasing the dose of ruxolitinib actually decreased the percentage of EGFP + cells from ∼8% to ∼5%.

Prophylactic treatment with 2 g/kg of IVIg ip 18 hours before the induction of acid-induced ALI showed a slight trend towards an attenuated injury response in that the decline in SaO 2 subsequent to acid instillation was largely blocked, yet no significant differences in peak inspiratory pressures or mouse W/D lung weight ratios were detectable between saline and IVIg pretreated mice ( Figure 8 ).

Furthermore, there was a slight trend towards more robotic assisted liver resections and more major liver resections after implementation of ERAS.
