“a slight trend”

Again, a slight trend of improved ranking by water molecules by some models compared with dry receptors was found.

There was a slight trend towards more skin necrosis in the NST group.

Sirt5 −/− mice demonstrated a slight trend towards improved glucose tolerance compared to wt littermates during an ipGTT test, although only the 2 hr time point reached statistical significance ( Fig. 2g ).

Overall changes HSCT patients reported the lowest mean VAS score 5 years ago (1.6 ± 1.5; Supplementary Table 1 ) compared to patients on ERT and UP, a trend that continued for now, however, only patients receiving ERT reported a slight trend towards improvement in pain (-0.2 ± 2.0) (Fig. 3 a).

Results In all PHUs except Toronto, the most rapid decline in R t occurred in the first 2 weeks of the first province-wide lockdown, and this was followed by a slight trend to increased R t as restrictions decreased.

A similar pattern was observed for cat auditory and frontal cortex (Figure 5 B) with a slight trend towards less relative Ube3A expression in aging.

Total Aβ was similar among the different cell treatments, although we noted a slight trend for a reduction in total Aβ in N2a-APPswe-PrP − cells and an increase in N2a-APPswe-PrP A116V cells, compared with N2a-APPswe-CTL cells (Fig. 6C ).

Our study found no significant change but a slight trend of reduction on the hindfoot eversion and forefoot abduction.

However, we did observe a slight trend toward higher dropout rates among patients with higher NIHSS scores at baseline.

The proposed model was subsequently used to estimate HCT values on the test set showing a good agreement between the estimated HCT and the HCT measured by the reference method (r = 0.87, p < 0.001), with a low mean difference of 0.53 ± 5.04% and a slight trend of overestimation for higher hematocrit values.

A slight trend emerged favoring higher OS for stage IC compared to stage IIC (92.3% vs. 86.9%, Figure 3 C ), though this difference was not significant (P = 0.555), likely owing to limited sample size.

Interestingly, we found that hypertensive females tended to have higher HT% ( p MWU = 0.053, p A = 0.130) and lower AT% ( p MWU = 0.067, p A = 0.003) than normotensive females and that their obstructive apneas ( p MWU = 0.076, p A = 0.095), central apneas ( p MWU = 0.512, p A = 0.040), mixed apneas ( p MWU = 0.072, p A = 0.049), and hypopneas ( p MWU = 0.069, p A = 0.213) showed a slight trend towards a shorter event duration.

The detrital ε Nd is relatively stable downcore, with a slight trend towards lower values since the LGM (Fig. 2c ).

Following 1 month of accelerated rehabilitation protocol, we also reported a slight trend towards higher concentrations of IL-10 postoperatively.

Akt phosphorylation was increased in H358 cells, and a slight trend was seen in AT1 cells, whereas in NRKF cells Akt expression and phosphorylation status were independent from the pH.

Indeed, different studies have shown similar percentage of eyes with clinically significant PCO and laser capsulotomy, with only a slight trend to obtain lower values for the Nd : YAG capsulotomy rate.

23 In the present report, moderate/severe AS was associated with a slight trend toward lower survival in univariate analysis among patients with ATTRwt, but not in multivariate analysis.

We did not observe significant variations in either the mean or median cell size, although the SiHa and HeLa cells exhibited a slight trend toward a decreased median roundness and increased nucleus area with rising radiation doses ( Supplementary Figure S3 ).

This observation may indicate a slight trend suggesting that more extended hospitalizations coincide with increased discharge mortality, likely reflecting the impact of more complex health conditions among these patients.

However, at 3 weeks (presymptomatic), we found no change in inhibitory transmission, with only a slight trend toward reduced frequency at 4 months.

While there was a slight trend for increased image quality with decreased BMI, decreased PPA, PICS and CPR, these differences were not significant (p < 0.05 – see Supplementary Fig. 2 a–d).

While there was a slight trend of better replication of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV in canine nasal cavity and soft palate explants, the levels were far lower than expected considering the abundance of ACE2 in these tissues and the high similarity between human and canine ACE2, with efficient binding of SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) and SARS-CoV RBD proteins to canine ACE2 and transduction of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV pseudoviruses into cells expressing canine ACE2 [ 2 , 27 , 28 ].

While the rate of IC was not statistically significant different between the groups, there was a slight trend of increased IC in the DCD donor age ≥ 50 group (11.6%) compared with the DCD donor age < 50 group (7.6%).

Flow cytometry showed a similar degree of cell association for all samples, while a slight trend towards stronger association can be seen for smaller particles (quantification and statistical analysis can be found in SI, Figure S7 ).

In contrast, according to predictions of the best model, leaf sugar concentration showed a slight trend of increasing over the course of the experiment in all sites ( Supplementary Table 13 ) and leaves of seagrasses from low impacted sites around Ischia had significantly higher leaf sugar concentration than plants from Baia by the end of the experiment [ Figure 5 ; χ 2 (1) = 4.53, p = 0.0333; Supplementary Table 12A ].
