“an apparent trend”

( 2009 ), with a very limited number of patients, reported an apparent trend between heterozygous and homozygous variants of the allele *4.

In terms of qualitative data there was an apparent trend that the use of the surgical model was beneficial for surgeons—who had increased confidence in the procedure or had re planned the surgery.

Large-diameter femoral heads in contemporary primary THA As the number of THA cases continues to rise year-on-year, registry data demonstrate an apparent trend in favor of the use of large-diameter femoral heads over the last decade [ 4 , 21 , 44 ].

Figure illustrates the advancement of device parameters as a function of absorber layer thickness for each respective ETL. An apparent trend indicating enhanced device performance with increasing thickness was identified, attributed to improved light absorption and superior carrier collection.

The overall effect of the tested endophytic extracts against CD40 expression on unstimulated BV2, in particular, was bizarre and failed to exhibit an apparent trend.

It is observed that the Raman signal of the R6G molecule shows an apparent trend from the rise to decline with the continuous addition of silver colloid in a volume of PMMA solution.

Another possibility is the increased long-term toxicity from concurrent chemoradiation protocols, and an apparent trend toward increased death rates due to non-primary cancer-related causes. 34 Further research will be required in the coming years to elucidate the causes of this apparent decrease in larynx cancer survival, and/or better select patients for surgical versus non-surgical treatment.

We observed an apparent trend toward increased breadth and potency (lower geometric mean IC 50 ) associated with increased env diversity (r = -0.77; Figure 4A ), but no detectable trend between this overall IC 50 and duration of ART (r = -0.27; Figure 4B ).

The present study shows an apparent trend of the “stress level” score from the Garmin device also affected by the breathing rate and postural position.

Comparing the faecal pH across timepoints showed an apparent trend towards an increase in the mean of the Post 1 samples, however this was not significantly different (Fig. 1 B).

The lack of an apparent trend in the plot indicates the absence of lurking variables that may have influenced the response during the experiment [ 32 ]. 3.3.2.

In this study, an apparent trend towards an increase in the percentage of the cross-age groups grouped by decade of life was found in older adults who had chronic pain (60–69 = 48%, 70–79 = 62%, and +80 = 73%) ( 30 ) .

In both subgroups, patients with higher CALU exhibited universally worse survival than those with relatively lower CALU ( Figure 5b, c, e and f ), except for TCGA GBM, which also showed an apparent trend.

We also saw an apparent trend towards increased levels of phospho-MLKL in pdzk1 KO compared to wt macrophages in the 24 h treatment samples that was not apparent in the 8 hr treatment samples, however the results did not reach statistical significance ( Fig. 9 ).

Although the sample size was relatively small, Chart 1 illustrates the relationship of CARS2 ® to EAF and there is an apparent trend toward higher EAF being associated with more severity on the CARS2 ® scale.

Country-specific output When the different organs are related to the most productive countries, an apparent trend is seen for all organs that were analyzed in the present study (Figure 3 ): The most productive country for every organ is the United States.

You might summarize the overall direction of effect of a group of studies and consider any results which are not consistent with an apparent trend.

At P14, there was an apparent trend towards fewer Ki67+YFP+ cortical cells in iCdk5 vs.

The results exhibit an apparent trend of frequency blue-shift of all phonon modes with increasing pressure, albeit that subtle differences in details are also evident.

On the right side, this angle was 28° in the group with lumbar spondylolysis and 34.5° in the group without lumbar spondylolysis, which, although not statistically significant, suggested an apparent trend.

It revealed an apparent trend of increasing the fatigue level across multiple subjects with personality differences.

However, are there benefits to counting carbohydrates beyond glycemic control? In examining the study's secondary outcomes, there is an apparent trend for the carbohydrate-counting group to have less weight gain at the end of the 24-week period.

While not all of the differences observed in these Western blot and mass spectrometry experiments showed statistically significant changes, there was an apparent trend of higher LRRK2 signal in the G2019S groups (NMC and LRRK2 PD) in both the Western blot and mass spectrometry data.

8 A ), there is an apparent trend toward a small difference between ∼40 and 120 ms preceding the target spike (at time = 0) such that retinal spikes during that window may have a somewhat stronger negative influence on relay probability (i.e., push the model to predict “not relayed”) during epochs of heightened activity (Q3 and Q4); however, the magnitude and variability of this effect (as seen in the overlapping CI shading) suggest little qualitative difference between activity levels.

There was an apparent trend of decreased IR and IVR in younger patients, with prominent differences among the youngest patients (birth to <2 years old) compared with the older age groups (aged ≥2 years). t 1⁄2 ( Figure 1 ) tended to increase with increasing age.
