“an increasing trend”

However given the added benefit of its use for diagnosis and management of biliary disease, there is an increasing trend today towards adopting this emerging imaging modality in our endoscopic units.

Incidence in Swedish citizens aged 40 years and older and the number of THRs showed an increasing trend ( Figure 1 ).

Due to improved GPS technology, we observed an increasing trend in fix success over the study period.

1 There has been an increasing trend in proportional mortality rate since 1981.

Conclusions/Significance The number of IPDMA articles exhibited an increasing trend over the past few years and mainly focused on cancer and circulatory diseases.

However split by sex, a significant decreasing trend was observed for women (OR 0.992, 95% CI: 0.985,0.999), whereas an increasing trend was found for men (OR 1.012, 95% CI: 1.004,1.020).

Finally, combined right and left axial rotation, intact (28.2°±14.0), recapping laminoplasty (35.0°±18.2), and laminectomy (41.2°±25.3) exhibit an increasing trend, there was no significant difference ( Fig. 8 ).

After categorizing age, in a univariate analysis with young adults (aged between 18 and 45) as the reference, there is an increasing trend in the odds of mortality with increasing age ( Table 5 ).

Similarly as in the case of the death toll, the WBGT index shows an increasing trend from 1980 to 2010.

Furthermore, while the AP GRF value in previous studies had shown significant increases when both DF and PF were stimulated, our studies showed an increasing trend that was not statistically significant.

Comparisons between baseline and after exercise FMD value showed statistically significant improvements in the CR group (p<0.001), while there no significant improvement in the control (p=0.09) ( Table 3 ), despite an increasing trend.

The yields of CL in F×L genetic group showed an increasing trend of yields with the increase in FSH dose levels and significantly highest yield (16.20±0.80) was found in the 360 mg level of FSH indicating significant impact of FSH dose levels ( Table 3 ).

The relative gene expression study of TLR2 for 24 h incubation period showed an increasing trend till 40 μg/ml dose of sPGN.

(2009a) both found an increasing trend of NH 3 -N concentration using GCC in concentrate mixtures.

The expression showed an increasing trend from 24 to 72 h.p.i.

There was an increasing trend of HDL concentration with an increasing rate of STC supplementation and was significantly higher (p<0.05) in 1.0% STC group compared to 0.1% STC group.

Estimates of N e for Chinese beef Simmental cattle show an increasing trend when plotted against increasing past generations ( Figure 5 ).

Effect of restricted grazing month on bite rate, moving distance and velocity The influence of grazing months on bite rate of Tan sheep was not significant (p>0.05), but the bite rate had an increasing trend with the progression of grazing months ( Table 3 ).

The results revealed an increasing trend in individual motility (IM) while semen volume, AFSC, AFSF, AD, FSPP, SPP, ALSC and ALSF showed a decreasing, however, not a definite trend, over the periods.

On average, the alpha amplitude showed an increasing trend across the whole training process.

The difference between the continents was profound, showing that Europe and North America accounted for over 80% of the published multicenter studies, but probably with an increasing trend from Asia.

During resuscitation VCO 2 increased markedly in survivors ( P = 0.0004), whereas in nonsurvivors only an increasing trend was noted, but it did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.12).

There is an increasing trend for laparoscopic repair of Spigelian hernias. 16 The safety of laparoscopic repair is well demonstrated with a low recurrence rate in a systematic review from 2004. 17 Our study offers further justification of this technique as the diagnostic uncertainty related to Spigelian hernias means that a number of patients would proceed to surgery when there is no true hernia present.

Further, in case of other SPs (cypermethrin, deltamethrin, and fenvalerate), an increasing trend in the mortality of viable tick eggs and thus a decrease in the hatching percentage were recorded when the concentration of acaricides increased.

More seriously, the mortality of HCC is still growing with an increasing trend of new occurrence [4] .
