Excerpts

In addition, in several of our analyses we found only weakly significant p -values close to 0.05 before multiple-testing adjustment.

Aiming at reaffirming our findings, we evaluated its clinical significance in the institutionally-independent OVCAD multicenter validation cohort, which highlighted a strong trend between i-tRF-GlyGCC increased levels and the poor survival expectancy of the patients.

The authors also showed a trend in a higher intra-tumoral expression of MHC genes and increased inflamed tumor microenvironment under treatment.

Over time, the number of published cases per year has shown an increasing trend ( Figure 1 ).

Encouragingly, the studies presented here showed a clear trend toward more invasive coronary therapy even in cancer patients [ 3 , 11 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].

As a result, the returned prognostic co-mutations were ascertained with three different levels of significance: (1) empirical significance due to imbalanced events; (2) significance with adjusted p -value < 0.05; (3) marginal significance with adjusted p -value falling in [0.05, 0.1].

The negative correlation between mutational burden and age is marginally significant for Caucasian ( Figure 3 I), significant for Black ( Figure 3 J) and not significant for Asian, which may be due to limited sample size. 2.4.

To further study the effects of these factors in an extended panel of cell lines, we selected the aforementioned seven ETS proteins, along with EHF and ETS2, which showed marginally significant reductions in TERT expression, and GABPA, which had been reported in other cancer lineages.

Interestingly, higher doses showed a trend towards better outcomes in this study [ 21 ].

Concerning the covariates VETC pattern, ECOG group, and NASH, we found highly significant relationships between residuals and time, as evidence for the violation of the proportional hazards assumption.

These studies, while recording a positive trend of a lower incidence of second tumors after the introduction of a smaller radiation volume, such as IFRT, suffered from a lack of specific volumetric and dosimetric data regarding the RT treatment actually delivered and the volume of the organs at risk (OAR) irradiated.

When analyzed in a multivariable analysis, there was a trend toward significance for radiation field volume, only for all-cause mortality, probably due to the small number of events within each treatment period.

ΔpBK-ITIH5-induced tumors showed a highly significant reduction in relative blood volume compared with ΔpBK-mock tumors ( Figure 1 G).

The p -value for deviation from linearity of the dose–response association was nearly significant (0.071) only for the main analysis.

The PT/FA cluster showed a slight trend to separate FA from PT, but overlap currently remains high and without a clear distinction between PT histologically diagnosed as benign, borderline, or malignant ( Figure 1 D). 3.5.

There was a higher expression of TNF and a clearly significant higher expression of IL6 and MKI67 after treatment with 1 mg/mL H-HA/L-HA compared to the control in both irradiation groups (7.13- and 5.76-fold after 2 Gy irradiation, 4.40- and 5.50-fold after 5 Gy irradiation) ( Figure 5 b,c). 3.4.

Tam 2.0 tool overrepresentation analysis [ 33 , 34 ] was also performed with all nominally significant DE miRNAs as inputs and the settings of all curated miRNAs as background, limited to a miRNA set size of two, including up- and down-regulated miRNA sets. 2.5.

According to our data, the majority of the tested PET parameters with different thresholds including SUVmax, MTV2.5, MTV3, TLG2.5, TLG3, and TLG30% discriminated DFS with statistical significance and with marginal significance for MTV30% and TLG40%.

The differences in DFS rates between cut-off levels were statistically significant in SUVmax, MTV2.5, MTV3, TLG2.5, TLG3, and TLG30%, and at least marginally significant in rest of the PET parameters ( Table 2 ).

Interestingly, we observed a numerical trend that patients with a homozygous 5/5 genotype were more likely to be PR-negative.

We thus explored the role of significant factors in the above Cox and logistic regression multivariate analyses (radiotherapy and surgery against hypothalamic involvement) and found a highly significant effect of hypothalamic involvement (OR 6.1, 95% CI 1.7–21.7, p 0.005), as well as radiation (OR 16.2, 95%CI 1.7–158.6, p 0.017) and surgical intervention (OR 4.8 95% CI 1.3–17.2, p 0.015), to influence the onset of APD, with no factor prevailing on the others. 2.6.

CD44v6-Positive CR-CSphCs Are Refractory toward BRAF Inhibition While treatment with an inhibitor of BRAF (vemurafenib) reduced the clonogenic activity and delayed in vitro growth of BRAF -mutant CR-CSphCs, the clonogenicity of RAS/BRAF -wt (wt) and KRAS -mutant cells showed a trend towards an increase, without altering the proliferation rate ( Figure 1 A,B and Table 1 ).

However, the CF patients’ life expectancy has been on an increasing trend, largely due to new medications and therapy options [ 60 ].

0 h), with a decreasing trend visible also on normal mature B-cells which however did not reach statistical significance ( Figure 2 B).

Patients with stage T2 tumors who received a PTVmax ≥ 125 Gy (BED 10 ) showed a trend toward improved LC, yet there were no significant differences in comparison with those who received a PTVmax < 125 Gy (BED 10 ).
