Excerpts

Future of robotic surgery Personalised and Precision Surgery Personalised and precision surgery is becoming a significant trend in the field of robotic colorectal surgery.

The substantial male dominance within the studies reflects a notable trend in CAD research, which may influence how the results are generalised to a wider population, including a significant proportion of women.

The change from baseline to six months was borderline (p = 0.079), suggesting a possible trend had there been more data.

The p-value of 0.00001, significantly lower than the 0.05 threshold, indicated a highly significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores.

The analysis of mortality outcomes presented a worrying trend, with vancomycin treatment having more than alternative therapies and a relationship with mortality rates (OR 1.25; 95% CI (1.00, 1.56)).

However, we observed a slight trend toward shorter durations of antibiotic administration in the IL-6 group, which could be attributed to the rapid decline in IL-6 levels following antibiotic therapy.

On a per-lesion basis, the aNC-MR protocol had a specificity of 96.4%, positive predictive value of 96.3%, negative predictive value of 96.4%, and sensitivity of 96.3%, with a p-value of less than 0.01 (highly significant) (Table 3 ).

Significant associations are observed between FEV and gender (marginally significant with OR of 0.333 (95% CI: 0.110-1.010).

The right dorsal hand skin temperature showed an increasing trend in the warm-water footbathing group at 15 and 30 minutes after the footbath, although the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.093 at 15 min, p=0.065 at 30 min).

Over the last five years, the reported suicide incidence rates, derived from annual health statistics reports issued by the Iraqi Ministry of Health, were 1.0, 0.8, 1.7, 1.4, and 1.0 per 100000 population in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively, with an increasing trend in 2021 and 2022 [ 34 ].

Age-based variations Age group analysis showed a significant difference in the width of the bone anterior to the canal, which showed a decreasing trend with increasing age.

Posterior bone width and the distance from incisive foramen to alveolar crest were also greater in males, the latter being marginally significant.

However, the interaction term (dark traits × burnout) approached significance, suggesting a potential moderating role.

Limitations The lack of a larger sample size revealed several variables with a tendency toward statistical significance; however, between-group analysis did not yield a p-value below 0.05.

The white blood cell count was raised initially and showed a decreasing trend over the observation period.

In summary, a five-minute VR nature microbreak delivered during work shifts produced meaningful, immediate enhancements in positive mood and a small trend toward increased parasympathetic activity.

While the primary endpoint (adapted ACR 30) was achieved in all cases, the high-dose group showed a trend toward efficacy in several secondary endpoints compared with the other groups.

Higher steroid doses showed a trend toward increased risk, but without statistical significance (p = 0.985).

The TCT presented a wide range of values (slower one = 3,057 seconds at the fourth procedure; faster one = 890 seconds, 81st procedure), tracing a decreasing trend line (Figure 4 ) with a significant dispersion level (R 2 = 0.6001).

We also found a significant association between CRP and CAS, contrasting with Kunimura et al., who only observed a nonsignificant trend between elevated CRP and high CONUT + normal BMI.

Surgical intervention Although the difference in operative rates between groups did not reach statistical significance, a notable trend was observed.

Collaboration Patterns and Strategic Gaps The study reveals a strong trend toward international collaboration, with a growing number of publications co-authored with researchers from around the world.

From 1998 to 2024, there have been fluctuations in the percentage of publications in the top 10% and top 1% of journals by CiteScore percentile; however, in the mid-year of 2024, there was an increasing trend in the top 10% and 1% with 30.8% and 3.1%, respectively (Figure 12 ).

These figures have fluctuated over the last decades but show a positive trend reflecting the quality and impact of research outputs from the UAE, indicating a significant portion of publications are in high-ranking journals.

The highly significant p-value for SAS-SV (<0.001) confirms that addicted students have much higher addiction scores.
