“a strong trend”

Not surprisingly, there has thus been a strong trend toward single-sport specialization among baseball players, with many players only playing baseball, year-round, starting at a young age.

We observed a strong trend toward higher fibrosis levels in Neat1 -deficient mice compared to those in wild-type (WT) animals ( Figure S11 A).

After a median follow-up of six years and when comparing arm B (n = 954) to C (n = 949), those receiving concurrent trastuzumab (arm C) presented a strong trend towards a reduction in the risk of DFS (HR 0.77, 99.9% CI 0.53–1.11; p-value 0.0216; the p-value superior to the prespecified boundary of 0.00116 for interim analysis).

A recent meta-analysis of over 270 000 people showed a strong trend for dairy intake protecting against hip fracture; the relative risk (RR) of hip fracture per daily glass of milk was 0.91, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.01. 9 In many industrialised nations, milk is often the most cost-effective strategy for achieving recommended levels of calcium intake at a population level.

In addition, there has been a strong trend toward the procedure being performed in older patients with less favorable anatomy and greater comorbidities with attendant less favorable results and substantially higher complication rates 53 , 54 ; this may reflect waning of experience by operators as well as the greater inherent risk in these patients.

Heart rate We found a strong trend towards a significantly reduced heart rate associated with visual presentations of liked brand names (mean = 73.97 bpm, SD = 8.08) compared to disliked brand names (mean = 75.16 bpm, SD = 9.17).

In all cases, there was either a statistical improvement in bone regeneration (mostly) or a strong trend towards more bone in rhPDGF-treated sites.

This kind of feature became a strong trend, thanks to the fact that they can be easily obtained, since it is not necessary to perform the feature engineering work, which in general is a laborious task and may require a refined knowledge regarding the problem classes, and also regarding the techniques that support handcrafted descriptors.

Even in patients undergoing chemoradiation, surgery was the only prognostic variable that significantly affected survival in stages I–II patients (HR 0.63) and showed a strong trend in stage III (HR 0.77) patients.

We also observed a strong trend in reduction of kidney colonization after challenge with the UPEC strain CFT073, with a 2.5-log reduction in median CFU/g ( Fig. 7B ).

Of interest, PD(ICD)+ patients have shown a strong trend for elevated amygdala-to-midbrain connectivity, only when those patients were scanned while on DAg and not while on levodopa, suggesting that DAg may indeed promote impulsivity in those patients through this route.

In particular, the field of brain signal analysis has witnessed a strong trend towards multidimensional analysis of large data sets, for example, single-trial time-frequency analysis of high spatiotemporal resolution recordings.

This calls for action, since statin use was associated with an improved overall and a strong trend towards improved liver-related survival in non-ACLD patients.

In contrast, patients treated with MTH and a favourable neurological outcome showed a strong trend to lower S-100 serum levels being significant after 24 hours (CPC 1 to 2 = 0.56 vs.

Here, we found J20 mice have a strong trend toward increased open arm entries as a ratio of total arm entries in the EPM, similar to what we have previously observed in this model [ 65 ].

In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), there has been a strong trend towards the adoption of a “high energy-sedentary lifestyle”, which has consequently resulted in an increase in the prevalence of obesity and all obesity-related diseases over the past few decades.

ST131 isolates exhibited a strong trend in the inability to utilise five tested substrates: 5-keto-D-gluconate (5KG), D-ARAbinose (DARA), esculin, cellobiose and dulcitol, in comparison to other ST isolates.

Our data show that Ido1 −/− mice exhibit exacerbated clinical symptoms of EAE, characterized by greater weight loss during peak disease, an increase in maximal clinical score and a strong trend towards increased spinal cord pathology compared to C57BL/6 or Ido2 −/− mice.

In both EF43.fgf4 and 4T1 models, there was at least a strong trend toward an increased macrophage content in the tumors ( Supplementary Figure S6 ).

AP showed a higher RMSE of 7.1165% compared to RC, but it had a high R 2 of 0.9791, indicating a strong trend.

However, we do observe a strong trend for the two matched samples ( Figures 4B, D , and Supplementary Figure S4A ) supporting our main claims above.

In an explorative retrospective analysis of the AZA-AML-001 study, patients with chromosome 17p aberrations had a strong trend for better OS when treated with AZA as compared with conventional care regimens (mainly low-dose cytarabine) [ 16 ].

In the persistent symptoms-type group, ensemble classifiers did not show a strong trend in classification accuracy.

We see a mild indication that personality has an influence on individual performance while developing software and, in the absence of a strong trend, we include the construct in our conceptual model in the hope to shed some more light on the matter.

Furthermore, we observed a strong trend towards an improved outcome in patients who were prescribed higher dosages of BB (Fig. 2 ).
