“an increasing trend”

Abstract Background Advanced maternal age (AMA; ≥35 years) is an increasing trend and is reported to be associated with various pregnancy complications.

In the most recent survey, the C-section rate was 25.6% in urban areas, as compared to 11.5% in rural areas; however, an increasing trend was also observed for rural areas.

In fact, the epidemiological transition is clearly showing an increasing trend in infectious disease and epidemics worldwide due to multiple factors such as wars, natural disasters, resistance to antibiotics, travelling, poverty, rapid urbanisation, forced migration and so on [ 41 , 42 ].

Moreover, around a fifth (18–22%) of young children RSV-infected are often admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU) during their hospital stay [ 6 , 7 ], showing an increasing trend in recent years [ 6 ].

The overall incidence of chronic pancreatitis worldwide is approximately 2 to 200 per 100,000, and recent data indicate an increasing trend year by year ( 1 ).

We found no evidence of an increasing trend in varicella consultations in secondary care: for those aged ⩽16 years, 2·8% of all first varicella consultations in both 2005 and 2014 had a hospital visit recorded (with a peak of 3·2% in 2011).

Metabolic-associated proteins (indicated by BPs and cellular compartment GO annotation analysis) were evident in cluster #5 with an increasing trend from 1 to 10 d.p.i. in SOI-isolated cells ( Figure S-4A–C ).

However, a significant increase in renal Oat3 expression in the membrane fraction was only observed in the combined drug treatment rats (p < 0.05) but there was an increasing trend noted in insulin-treated rats.

Studies from some developing countries have also observed an increasing trend of trauma related brain abscess.[ 4 6 13 ] Inadequate management of posttraumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, chronic osteomyelitis complicating head injury, skull base fractures with air sinus breach, poor wound care of compound skull fractures may be the neglected pathways of brain infections following head injuries.

Similar to other surgical fields, there is an increasing trend in cardiovascular surgery to minimize the trauma caused by surgical intervention itself in order to reduce perioperative mortality after cardiovascular interventions [ 12 ].

For each MR elastomer, the loss factor tan δ also shows an increasing trend when raising the magnetic flux density B , although the relationship between the loss factor and the shear strain amplitude requires further investigation.

The Tb.Th of the two groups had no statistically significant difference despite the fact that there was an increasing trend in the experimental groups.

At 22–34 °C, the viral loads showed an increasing trend with a peak at 15 dpi.

Following a short period of decrease, RBF stabilized with an increasing trend following 2 hours of perfusion.

Interestingly, the resultant change in ear advantage is significantly correlated with the change in central conduction speed at an increasing trend ( Fig 3C ).

A study of US adults with self-reported diabetes shows an increasing trend in diabetes care such as undergoing HbA1c tests and foot examination in recent years. 25 It is encouraging to see that the gap was reduced by half from over the last 15 years although adults with diabetes still had a significantly higher mortality risk than those without diabetes by the end of the observation period.

We found that the incidence of PTB remains high with an increasing trend.

Our findings are in line with a previous study that reported a modern speleothem in South Korea that indicates an increasing trend of ~0.22‰ during the modern dry episode 13 .

Water level change in Qinghai Lake Our study showed an increasing trend of water level in Qinghai Lake for the period of 2005 to 2015, which is consistent with a study on ICESat laser altimetry and in situ measurements for the period of 2003 to 2009 29 .

Precipitation shows an increasing trend in the TRB, but which decreases and then increases in the YRB, with a turning point in the middle of twenty-first Century.

For the functional pathways, we found that genes involved in tetracycline resistance, lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, and cobalamin biosynthesis were less abundant after surgery, while those involved in cysteine biosynthesis and many energy metabolism pathways showed an increasing trend.

Following this increase in irradiance there was no visible leaf chlorosis or anthocyanin formation, although the index of chlorophyll content showed an increasing trend with time that was independent of irradiance and though there was an initial drop of anthocyanin content on the first day of high irradiance this was followed by a recovery throughout the acclimation period (Supplementary Fig. 1 ).

Mortality statistics for COPD show an increasing trend with increase in age and also smoking increases mortality in COPD patients.[ 4 ] Many risk factors contribute to the development of COPD, these factors include environmental issues (humidity, dust, hot weather, very cold weather, etc.,) genetic susceptibility, age >40 years, gender, nutrition, socioeconomic status, oxidative stress, occupational hazards, cigarette smoking, fuel fumes, and many others.[ 5 ] Alveolar macrophages present in lungs produce histone deacetylase (HDAC) which suppresses the production of cytokines that mediate inflammation.

An increasing trend in clinical training is to allocate students to sites (urban, peri-urban and rural) away from the tertiary health care centre [ 1 ].

As the infection time continued, the SISCL group genes’ expression was on a downward trend in the resistance tomato, such as Solyc06g076280.1.1 , Solyc01g100200.2.2 , and Solyc06g076290.1.1 .; interestingly, the Solyc05g053090.1.1 gene was on an increasing trend.
