As represented in Figure 14 , when the wall angle increases from 25 degrees to 35 degrees, the principal stresses (the tensile stress and the compressive stress) of the perforated titanium sheet showed an increasing trend.

The BMI (rho = 0.437), PMA (rho = 0.672), Albumin (rho = 0.285), and hemoglobin (r = 0.282) showed an increasing trend along with increasing SMI.

Interestingly, the concentration of LCN2 followed an increasing trend correlating with the inoculation dose (Figure 1 E).

As for the Ovarian cancer, there is an increasing trend from 2005 to 2011 followed with a mild decrease in incidence until 2016 and a sudden increase afterwards.

As with revenue, the average annual expenditure was higher in urban facilities compared to rural facilities, with an increasing trend in expenditure across all facility levels in both urban and rural settings, with the exception of rural health centers.

This shows that delayed BC is not uncommon in the study hospital, although there is an increasing trend of blood culture utilization during the study period [ 7 ].

According to a systematic review and meta-analysis done in China, there was an increasing trend of P . aeruginosa resistance to a common antimicrobial agent of wound-isolated among burn patients: This study indicates that Gentamicin had the highest pooled resistance rate (56%)while meropenem had the lowest pooled resistance rate (29%) [ 29 ].

Despite not being significant, patients with low CO during CPB presented higher ratio values and, in these patients, an increasing trend can also be observed in the following phases, suggesting hypoperfusion during and after CBP.

The results of the heat map of intersecting genes showed that about 1/3 of the intersecting genes showed an increasing trend of expression in gastric cancer, and 2/3 showed an obvious decreasing trend (Fig. 3 E).

Overall, the population size, which indicates the relative genetic diversity of clade 2.3.4.4b, exhibited an increasing trend from 2012 to 2022.

Although the electromagnetic force increased in the early actuation stage, its action time was short, so the actuation response time of the conventional HSV still showed an increasing trend with the increase in peak voltage.

32 , 33 Therefore, serum creatinine should be closely monitored upon a high suspicion of NF, and debridement procedure should be initiated as soon as possible only if an increasing trend of creatinine was observed.

5 In China, the Action Plan for Air Pollution Prevention and Control issued in 2013 resulted in considerable reduction in ambient PM 2.5 and gaseous pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ); however, O 3 pollution has presented an increasing trend. 6 , 7 One reason for the difficulty in mitigating O 3 pollution is that lower tropospheric O 3 is mainly generated through photochemical reactions of its precursors, nitrogen oxide (NO x = NO 2 + NO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), instead of through direct emissions. 8 Therefore, O 3 pollution is controlled by NO x or VOC levels, depending on which precursor is the limiting reagent in the atmosphere.

Notably, in Arm 3, the 3+ category showed an increasing trend at FU1 (Additional file 2 : Table S2).
