“a strong trend”

Because of its high efficiency and automation advantages, there is a strong trend in the medical field to address visual information.

Indeed, we saw a strong trend towards elevated levels of the chemokine KC in the steady state of pregnancy, followed by significant deficit in KC expression upon infection.

Several studies have failed to demonstrate an increased risk of infective complications with anti-integrin therapy[ 43 , 44 ], although one study demonstrated a strong trend towards more frequent intra-abdominal abscesses and mucocutaneous separation in pouch patients treated with vedolizumab compared with anti-TNFα agents[ 45 ].

Gratifyingly, POLQ turned out to be a strong prognostic marker in all but one of the series they studied, and even in this series it showed a strong trend.

Further supporting the centrality of tryptophan metabolic reprogramming, the inhibition of TPH with PCPA showed a strong trend toward blunting the AmEVs-induced increase in neuronal 5-HT production.

Blinded DBS produced a strong trend toward improved quality of life and objective quality of voice despite the small sample size.

We did find a strong trend towards reduced striatal D2/3 receptor binding in patients with idiopathic CD compared to controls.

While meta-reviewers, reviewers and external reviewers do not show a strong trend in how the positivity of review score correlates with review quality assessments, for authors there is a clear positive trend with reviews recommending strong accepts receiving higher evaluations than reviews recommending strong rejects.

The lower overall survival probability of patients with low miR-9 expression that also tends to have a more severe pathological grade suggests a strong trend towards prognostic significance.

In addition to sequence divergence, we also observed a strong trend of replaceable 1:2 human co-orthologs to have broader, less–tissue-specific expression.

36 The researchers identified a strong trend toward increasing use of MILN for femoral lengthening between 2011 and 2015 with an increase of 10.2% per year (R 2 = 0.99).

( 24 ) analyzed the procedure time of 20 patients treated with PED and 20 patients treated with SAC, and also found that the PED group showed a strong trend towards a shorter total procedure time compared to the SAC group.

Stimulation of PBMCs with PWM for 3 days further defined the expansion ( P < 0.05) of B-1a and B-1b cells in clinical cows, along with a strong trend for higher B-2 cells for both subclinical and clinical cows ( Fig 2B ).

As further evidence that transcription of these two genes is controlled differently, TSPO showed a strong trend towards regulated transcription in the AL after birds experienced song playbacks, consistent with a previous report, but levels of StAR mRNA were unchanged across the same conditions [ 56 ].

Specialization has been a strong trend, visible on subnational as well as national and continental scale 3 – 6 .

In spite of this inconsistent result for Tco89, a strong trend of increased co-precipitation in the presence of glutamine is evident.

Similarly, while MyxASS1 and MyxASS1 FS displayed similar viral titers in tumors derived from ASS1 + B16F10 cells, MyxASS1 displayed a strong trend towards increased viral titers in tumors derived from two distinct ASS1 KO B16/F10 cell lines ( figure 6D ) as well as significantly increased titers in tumors derived from intrinsically ASS1-deficient A9F1 cells ( figure 6E ).

He found a strong trend for preference of north-facing nests at lower latitudes, east-facing nests at mid-latitudes and south-facing nests at upper latitudes and attributed this to the variation in ambient temperatures across this gradient.

Il-12 mRNA expression was significantly reduced, and Il-12 protein showed a strong trend of reduction in Cdk5 LysMCre macrophages compared with macrophages isolated from Cdk5 flox mice after LPS stimulation ( Figure 1 D, Supplementary Figure S1C ).

Interestingly, patients with translation-based oncogenic 3′ UTR mutations have more moderate phenotypes, displaying a strong trend toward earlier AI but no change in overall survival or metastasis ( Figures 7D - 7F ).

9.1 months); moreover, the association had a statistically significance for PFS but a strong trend for OS in multivariate analysis.

There was a strong trend toward increased mortality in patients whose T cells failed to increase IFN-γ production in response to the three treatments.

This effect was not extended to the meta‐analysis at 6 months (−6.74 [−14.57 to 1.08], however, analysis indicated a strong trend in favour of customised foot orthoses.

Interestingly, since there is a strong trend for heterozygous individuals to have an intermediate colour phenotype, our results are most consistent with a pattern of partial dominance at ASIP , which is unusual [ 34 ].

A strong trend of a decreasing fraction of the first peak was detected as the L/S ratio increases for API 1 5 and 50% as well as for API3 at 50% concentration, while a weak trend was found in API2.
