“showed a trend”

An analysis of specific radiographic features in a sample from the OAI found that osteophyte status (at baseline) was not associated with medial cartilage loss over 12 months but that knees with medial joint space narrowing showed a trend towards higher rates of change than those without, and that knees with medial femoral subchondral bone sclerosis displayed significantly greater rates of progression than those without [ 120 ].

Each ACT factor also showed a trend of increasing mean scores ranging from the lowest level to the highest level of research use, further supporting construct validity.

The hMSC infused animals showed a trend for greater functional improvement that was not statistically significant in the acute phase and no additive negative effects.

Taking into consideration the variables that showed a trend to significance, the sample size was small enough to pick up differences between newborns from HIV positive and HIV negative mothers.

In the winter/spring experiments ( Figure 7 ), G30x seedlings showed a trend of growing higher than W30x seedlings towards the high end of the growth range, whereas towards the low end of the growth range there appears to be no clear-cut difference. 4.

Socioeconomic status showed a trend of increasing PAR with decreasing economic status.

Furthermore, dosing with CsA showed a trend toward reducing the accumulation of the inflammatory chemokine IL-8 in the serum of dosed pigs after 6 or 9 h, and this reduction reached statistical significance after 24 h of dosing (P < 0.05, Figure 2 B).

Three of the Romanian Control samples also showed a trend towards this space.

Furthermore, from Days 1 to 7, Tg mice showed a trend toward an inverse association between the total amount of urinary hL-FABP and expression of PPARγ ( Figure 4c ).

Parameters like HAQ, HDRS and BDI clearly improved, and FIQ showed a trend in the same direction, supporting the idea of global improvement in functional capacity, emotional aspects and reduction of the impact of fibromyalgia on functioning of these patients regardless the use of tDCS.

Thus, the actual operation time was 59.0 minutes, and it was not different from 62.9 minutes of conventional laparoscopic TEP herniorrhaphy, and it showed a trend that it was rather shortened.

In sham-operated animals, cAng-(1–7) treatment showed a trend towards a decrease in myocyte size, but this effect did not reach a statistical significance (Figures 1(b) and 1(c) ). 3.2.

Two birth cohort studies monitoring the natural history of childhood rhinitis [ 5 , 6 ] showed a trend of increasing prevalence over time from infancy to adolescents.

Basal CBF The normalized blood speed result showed a trend in the >80 μm vessels where flow was higher in the WT group.

Interestingly, H3K9me3, also controlled by PcG proteins [28] , showed a trend similar to H3K27me3 ( Figure S2C ) during S phase, suggesting that PcG epigenetic signatures are inherited at the same time during replication.

Levels of D-serine showed a trend toward somewhat higher levels in diabetic rat retina 3 months after STZ, but there was not a significant difference at either time point.

The ECoScreen showed a trend towards higher total protein amounts.

DMB of the femoral cortex showed a trend towards an increase, but this was not significant.

In addition, at occipito-parietal sites, the LPP amplitudes in response to the distraction strategy showed a trend to be decreased as compared to the LPP amplitudes elicited by passively viewed smoking pictures.

In our meta-analysis, data showed a trend of higher presence of H.

19 A second report of the same trial, showed a trend in favor of thalidomide and a significant benefit in the subgroup of patients with karyotypic abnormalities. 13 In the Dutch (Lokhorst et al. , 2008) and British ) and British (Morgan et al. , 2008) studies, the PFS benefit did not translate into a significant OS benefit, again because of a shorter OS after relapse in the thalidomide group. 16 , 17 How can we analyze these differences?

The first clinical trials showed a trend toward reduced DCI and improved outcome [ 69 ].

The number of genetically divergent high-frequency haplotypes showed a trend of balanced diversity (Figure 2 ).

Measuring the integration of immigrants into the local social environment showed a trend supporting the hypothesis that immigrants in mixed clusters had higher integration indexes than those in immigrant clusters.

Finally, the role of the different pattern of CD133 immunoreaction has not to be underestimated: with the limits inherent in the small series of cases with positive CD133 staining, we reported that cases with apical cytoplasmic CD133 expression showed a trend to a better prognosis compared to cases with diffuse cytoplasmic pattern of immunoreaction.
