Excerpts

Correlations between comb size and body weight were lower than correlations between comb mass and body weight: they were not significant for males and moderately significant for females in the CH1 and WL-DJ lines.

The data distribution for the second canonical axes (vertical) showed a trend in the differences within adult stages with drones in the lower plot, young bees in the middle and foraging bees in the upper part of the plot.

Conversely, LYM values showed a decreasing trend with age in males ( Fig. 4C ).

Monocytic TI-MDSC from DIO mice showed a trend toward increased suppressive capacity, but this difference was not statistically significant.

Autism serum with P6 injected group showed a trend towards earlier development of surface righting compared to autism serum alone group; however, the difference did not reach statistical significance ( Fig. 3B , panel 1; autism serum vs. autism serum+P6, Bonferroni’s post-hoc test, p >0.05, Student’s t -test, p = 0.074).

Nonetheless, there was a strong trend towards increased grooming time in young rats injected with sera from autistic children compared to the sham group suggesting an increased tendency towards a spontaneous repetitive behavior ( Fig. 5A ; Bonferroni’s post hoc test, p >0.05; Student’s t-test, p = 0.014).

However, for the women, after adjusting for age and other confounders, a significant trend was found; but there was no difference among the groups.

Although the IL-24-mediated inhibitory activity was not statistically significant compared to the control, it definitely showed a trend for continued inhibition on [Ca 2+ ] release over time indicating abrogation of SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling.

We found that the production of IFN-γ decreased during the first 12 weeks of treatment and then it gradually increased, and there was an increasing trend in TNF-α production throughout the treatment course.

The variance covariance matrix for the mixed-effects model is given by Table 5 shows that all parameters in the model are highly significant.

The risk of bed-sharing next to a parent who smoked was largely confined to the younger infants while the risk of bed-sharing in the absence of these hazards was not quite significant among the younger infants (OR = 1.6 [95% CI: 0.96–2.7]) and seemingly protective among the older infants, albeit the numbers are very small.

We examined interaction terms: we found that the effects of total IgG to the malaria antigens we tested were not additive, and noted an interaction between malaria exposure index and total IgG to MSP3 of marginal significance ( Table S7 ).

In addition, in the subgroup analysis of case-control studies, an association of borderline significance between diabetes and AMD (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.97–1.56) was presented if the study by Nitsch et al [13] was excluded.

When removing the studies conducted by Shalev et al and Hahn et al in the subgroup analysis of cohort studies, respectively, although the p values for diabetes and AMD became insignificant, the direction of ORs was kept and associations of marginal significance were revealed (removing study by Shalev et al: OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.99–1.10; Hahn et al: OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.98–1.29).

Timely or moderately delayed group was associated with significantly better survival in overall and cancer-specific analyses, but the association was only borderline significant in non-cancer-specific survival.

With respect to heavy alcohol consumption, the association was borderline significant with RR being 1.25 (1.00 to 1.56).

The unquantifiable – but likely small – error introduced by the use of zip codes in lieu of precise street addresses is unlikely to systematically affect any subgroup disproportionately, and our study nonetheless was large enough to detect highly significant differences.

This may be significant given the fact that smoking has been shown to influence DNA methylation in a variety of contexts [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] .

Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis was performed using a two-tailed Student's t test, with p values of <0.05 and <0.01 being considered statistically significant and highly significant, respectively.

As expected for the lack of time effect in the Non-AF group, there was significant (or close to significance for AAMean ) group*time interactions when either the two hours or the last hour before AF were considered.

However, cluster analysis ( Figure 6 B ) revealed that this accelerating trend was only present in a subgroup of AF patients, the others having either a decreasing trend or constant heart rate.

In both raw data and position data, we found an increasing trend of mean LFPortion in the last 30 minutes, reaching a peak in the last 10 minutes before AF.

Based on such evidence, we suggest that increased H 2 S may be significant in the recovery of cancer cells from damages (e.g., oxidative stress, hypoxia, glucose deprivation, acidosis) that these cells endure in the harsh tumor microenvironments.

Effusion of the contralateral stifle, in particular, was a highly significant risk factor for disease progression and development of contralateral CR, with an odds ratio of 13.4 for development of a contralateral CR by 1 year after diagnosis.

Food intake showed a trend towards reduction of circulating endothelial precursor cell numbers Vasculature stress and inflammation to the endothelium induces repair mechanisms involving circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and the circulating endothelial precursor cells (CPCs) [30] , [31] .
