“a small trend”

However, pwCF affected by nocardiosis showed a small trend to faster decline in PFTs compared to similar status CF patients without isolation of this microorganism in their sputum [ 11 , 22 ].

It is noteworthy that both S100 and NSE showed a small trend of increase at 48 h pb, which could also be slightly reduced by gelsolin infusion at high dose.

There appears to be evidence of a small trend to less negative 13 C values with increasing tree age (Extended Data Fig. 9a , lower) consistent with observations of small age-related trends as recently quantified for a set of Pinus sylvestris L. trees from northern Fennoscandia 101 .

Moreover, there is a tendency to decrease the Vogel temperature value, T V , for samples A, B, and C, depending on the concentration, and a small trend to increase the T V for samples D, E, and F, respectively.

Furthermore, although there was a small trend in postop, we did not observe significant correlations between preop and postop GEMPAC score with MRI enhancing volume, edema volume, or necrotic core volume (figs.

There was no significant difference in both the number and size distribution of Dicer foci between 8h and 24h, although there was a small trend towards a decrease in the number of Dicer foci per cell ( Fig 3C ).

However although not significant we did notice a small trend of increased number of effector memory CD8 + T cell in RA patients (Fig. 3 ).

The dose‐response analysis observed a small trend of increased closure time with increasing doses of meloxicam intravenous (Figure 1B ).

We observed a small trend toward prolonged survival when combining IL-7 ALT with αPD-1 therapy (2 of 6 mice surviving more than 30 days, 0 of 6 with long-term overall survival), but a significant increase in survival when combining IL-7 ALT + α4-1BB compared with IL-7 ALT only ( Figure 2D , * P < 0.05).

A small trend towards decreased Vi with increasing device resistance was observed.

As expected, there was a small trend toward a lower hazard for the SPoRT Behaviour Score with a stroke definition that was broader and more heterogeneous.

Two of the significant associations from the pilot study, the “Acknowledge-Refer” and “Acknowledge-Overall Communication Skill” pairs showed a small trend toward a positive association in the current study.

This observation coincided with a small trend toward higher ECE1 and reduced NRG1 expression in the tongue tissue ( Fig. 4G and Fig.

However, there is a small trend in favour of private schools as can be observed in Fig. 15 .

Results Post-intervention scores revealed a small trend toward increased emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores, and with increased personal accomplishment scores.

Exercise tolerance—graded exercise tests and time to exhaustion A recent meta-analysis detected only a small trend toward improvement in graded exercise test performance, and a subgroup analysis revealed a statistically significant improvement in time to exhaustion following nitrate supplementation.

Conclusions Planned cesarean delivery in twin pregnancies shows a small trend toward improved neonatal outcomes but is associated with higher maternal wound complications.

Furthermore, endothelial β1 integrin expression increased in the calf, while only showing a small trend towards higher expression in the thigh (Supplementary Fig.

There was a small trend in p-Erk1/2 increase in the SHR group but it was not statistically significant ( Figure 3(c) ). 3.4.

the combined Groups 2, 3, and 4 did not reach significance (p = 0.15), though a small trend was observed in favor of Group 1.

The higher response bias in particular may have captured a small trend in which those with anxiety played more during the first block of trials than those without anxiety.

Even if a small trend in increasing creatinine levels across AKI severity classes could be detected, this trend was subclinical and not relevant to clinical practice.

A small trend was however observed for younger males, with FSIQ scores being slightly higher (about 0.80 IQ points) in males living in more urbanized areas (Model 6 vs Model 5: χ 2 (1) = 3.49, P = 0.06).

Unlike the airpuff objects, saline and time-out objects had similar salience to neutral objects or even a small trend toward negative salience (less salience than neutral) for the time-out objects using free viewing (Fig. 4c ) and consistently for both monkeys (Supplementary Fig. 6 ).

There was, however, a small trend to an increase of both MDA5 and RIG-I in cells treated with SP1 in combination with imiquimod compared with cells that were only treated with imiquimod ( Figures 4E, F ).
