The potential benefit of dental health is reflected in survival, cardiovascular events, and quality of life, which might be significant in adults with CKD compared with other settings due to the more severe spectrum of oral disease and infrequent use of dental care practices [ 17 ].

In the gender analysis, these improvements in intrinsic motivation were also significant in girls, and almost significant in boys.

The cohort 1910 to 1935 showed a rising trend of random cohort effects in MRs; additionally, a decreasing trend of random effects was reported in the overall cohort (1910 to 1970), suggesting that the early cohorts were positively associated with MRs due to breast cancer (see Figure S2, Supplementary Materials ).

Few studies have been concerned with examining the variability among day surgeries from a regional perspective and revealing factors that may be significant in the insufficient progression of day surgery in a country [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].

Although the change (increase or decrease) in the performance was not quite significant as compared with the performances achieved through the whole feature set, the number of features was significantly reduced from 561 to 150 using the CFS approach (over 70% reduction in several features).

Highly significant Spearman correlations were found between maternal and child urinary metabolite concentrations, except for 5OH-MEHP.

Analyzing engagement and personal well-being at work using the UWES-9 scale, a trend towards significance emerged from the comparison between the two groups: participants in MountainTherapy tend to have higher average scores than non-participants in the dimension related to vigor.

A small trend could be observed that the group with combined feedback had a larger reduction of arm elevation in most of the parameters, both during intervention and post-intervention, compared to baseline ( Table 2 ).

The total PA was found to be inversely associated with weight retentions; however, the associations were only marginally statistically significant.

This relationship may be significant in the development of osteoporosis, because V can substitute for Ca in hydroxyapatite crystals [ 33 ].

There was an increasing trend in the number of hospitalizations in the same months during the 11-year study period, with an increase in February, followed by a peak in March, April, and May and a decreasing trend from June onwards for all study years, resulting in epidemic episodes in summer and autumn ( Figure 7 ). 5.

There was a decreasing trend in the number of asthma-related hospitalizations across the study period.

This showed a trend between age and performance, but the result could be overestimated in the higher age groups.

In logistic regression analysis, since the explanatory variables were limited to seven items that were highly significant, highly relevant, and likely to be confounding factors, the sample size was insufficient for the analysis.

Our findings confirmed that bath (−22.14%) was highly significant in clarification of differences in SAH; educational attainment (−14.40%), sleeping time (18.04%) and medical scheme (−11.19%) were highly significant in explanation of differences in chronic disease condition. 4.

Jointly influenced by the low temperature and limited precipitation, the GP of grasslands was mostly (85.20%) less than six months ( Table 2 ) and showed an increasing trend from northwest to southeast ( Figure 2 ).

The positive or negative Z value indicates an increasing or a decreasing trend, respectively.

The saturation indices of calcite, dolomite, halite, and gypsum show an increasing trend with increasing TDS concentrations, illustrating the major involvement of the dissolution of carbonates and evaporates.

Lee (2014) analyzed 50 disaster-related nursing articles published from 1995 to 2014 in Korea, and the results showed an increasing trend in the number of disaster-related nursing articles per year [ 18 ].

Actigraphic Night-Time and Daytime Parameters in PLWH and Healthy Controls Among the eight actigraphic parameters assessed to describe sleep-wake rhythms monitoring, two displayed a highly significant differences between PLWH and healthy controls ( Table 1 ).

PCBs and PAHs have marginally significant positive effects.

The marginal significance is clear from the forest plot of estimates in Figure 1 .

Our study also pointed out that nitrate as well as the content of the sum of ammonium and organic N in soils have a decreasing trend with depth both for UNI and VRA fertilization ( Figure 6 and Figure 7 ).

There was, however, an increasing trend with age in the percentage of doctors informing and persuading their patients to vaccinate their daughters against HPV.

A highly significant negative association with exposure condition-quality and cellular responses was detected, showing that the more the quality criteria requirements were satisfied, the smaller the number of detected cellular responses.
