“a slight trend”

The PT/FA cluster showed a slight trend to separate FA from PT, but overlap currently remains high and without a clear distinction between PT histologically diagnosed as benign, borderline, or malignant ( Figure 1 D). 3.5.

There is a slight trend in the central tendency, as median variability in this metric appears to decrease as time increases.

The analysis of the dataset showed a slight trend of increasing permeability when decreasing HBD, HBA, MW, and RBN.

Mineralization rates were not significantly different over time with a slight trend toward ‘return to normal’.

Moreover, while ɑTIMP1 treatment did not significantly attenuate the fraction of ɑSMA+ myofibroblasts, a slight trend was observed ( Figure S9 E).

There was a slight trend that suggests more participants preferred to have the game at home compared with the nongamified versions.

In both lakes, a slight trend toward the heavier C isotopes is observed since the 1980s.

A slight trend suggested better scores among patients receiving nusinersen; however, the difference was not statistically significant ( p = 0.5192, Mann–Whitney U ‐test) (Figure 3C,D , Supporting Information 3 ).

TiO 2 NP exposure resulted in a slight trend for viability increase for mature barrier models (106.1 ± 14.1% for 2 mM and 106.1 ± 14.1% for 0.25 mM).

The number of FoxP3 expressing CD4 + T cells was not significantly altered at this time point; however, a slight trend towards an increased frequency of these cells was also seen in 15-week-old MRL-Fas lpr KSRP −/− mice ( Figure 4 c–e).

After excluding patients with mantle cell lymphoma, we analyzed OS in the remaining 409 patients with indolent NHL: the patients in the high BMI group showed longer OS with 85.0% of patients alive at 5 years versus 70.2% in the low BMI group (HR 0.581; 95%CI 0.331–1.022; p = 0.059). Of interest, there was a slight trend for longer PFS in the high BMI group when compared to the low BMI group, which however did not reach statistical significance (HR 0.798; 95%CI 0.586–1.087; p = 0.152), with 42.5% of patients without progression after 5 years in the high BMI group versus 32.9% in the low BMI group (Fig. 1 b).

Here, we established, for the first time, a facile assay for targeted quantitation of allelic variants at position 223 of SP-A, as well as relative levels of SP-A2 versus total SP-A, using as little as 1 mL of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. While there was no significant difference in relative SP-A2 as a function of 223 genotype, there was a slight trend toward lower SP-A2 levels versus total SP-A in the Lys223/Lys223 versus Gln223/Lys223 genotype.

RAD51 showed a weaker association in Kaplan–Meier analysis, with a slight trend toward poorer survival at higher expression levels (HR = 1.17, 95% CI: 0.97–1.41) (Fig. 4 A).

The time of diagnosis of diabetes was also not an important factor in CMT reduction, although there was a slight trend towards greater improvements in eyes with less time of diabetes evolution.

Moreover, supporting our hypothesis that plants with higher chemodiversity show an enhanced growth, we found a slight trend toward a positive correlation between FHD ind and numbers of shoots and leaves in one or both years (not significant after correction for multiple testing).

The PDS results do not preclude a slight trend for larger values of U at low CGI compositions.

Thus, there was a slight trend to chronic malnutrition, but no acute malnutrition.

Although no significant difference was found at other CpG sites, compared with control rats, more than half of these sites showed a slight trend toward hypermethylation, such as the −2639 and −2446 sites, in the EUGR rats, suggesting a general trend of hypermethylation of this locus at the distal promoter of the Notch1 gene.

A slight trend towards lower palmitic acid levels was also seen in the DON-exposed groups, although these changes were not statistically significant.

Ti 3 C 1.5 N 0.5 T x in particular showed a slight trend toward lower IL-6 release than Ti 3 C 2 T x , again reflecting its more favorable interaction with cells.

A slight trend toward a longer survival was only seen in patients <40 and >60 years old, and did not reach statistical significance. 2.2.

Yet, in a similar study investigating head and neck cancer, there was a slight trend for ADC entropy to correlate with the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes of the tumor compartment [ 30 ].

However, there is a slight trend favoring the Desarda technique.

Although the PBBM showed a slight trend for underpredicting C max , it remained fit for its purpose as all predictions were within the 0.8–1.20-fold ratio.

In the case of the Vis-NIR, the PCA model yielded a slight trend in groupings based on the color changes in the bread samples possessing different flour compositions.
