Newman-Keuls Post-hoc comparison between control and matched conditions showed highly significant prevention of aggregates formation for the matched shSNPs.

Although it was not significant statistically, the proportion of multifocality of PTC showed a decreasing trend.

For those under 18 years of age, we observed a slightly increasing trend in morality in the later years of the study period ( Figure 5c ).

The researchers conceded that there may be significant limitations to their analyses, as their conclusions were borne out of a meta-analysis of diverse commute-related datasets, and as a result, there may very easily be confounding factors–such as survey types/questions [26] , analysis units [27] – [28] , types of trips included [29] – [30] –in how the data are collected/analyzed that would have influenced the observed outcomes.

Anxiety showed a trend to be lower in the group exhibiting eucortisolism, but differences were mostly non-significant ( Table 2 , 3 ).

Furthermore, one is to note that the current findings are only marginally significant and that more studies are needed to replicate the current findings and to fully address the issue of multiple comparisons.

However, quantification revealed an increasing trend of PCNA positive vacuolated nuclei compare to normal nuclei, suggesting a correlation between the nuclear inclusions and cell proliferation ( Fig. 5B ).

3c ) (ADONIS: R 2 = 0.178, p = 0.001) were highly significant for all tests using unweighted UniFrac.

The absence of a clear trend in the effects of school holidays on the contact parameter as estimated using the simple mass action model therefore supports the conclusion from the TSIR model that there was no systematic change in the effects of school holidays over time.

The distributions in diversity and evenness of species of siphonophores showed a trend opposite to that of abundance, with higher values generally found in the waters south and east of Taiwan and lower in the waters north and west of Taiwan (nested ANOVA, F = 7.054, p <0.001 for diversity; nested ANOVA, F = 2.480, p <0.05 for evenness).

P<0.05 was considered significant and P<0.01 highly significant.

Hematocrit (P = 0.06) and ANC (P = 0.06) were marginally significant in predicting FN.

Data from these patients also showed a trend towards an increased bacterial load compared to controls ( Fig. 2C ).

Despite an apparent trend, the difference in apnea frequency between WT and PRKO mice was not significant in progesterone-treated mice (P = 0.16).

However, closer examination of the data showed a clear trend of PRKO mice to have a high frequency of post-sigh apnea even after progesterone treatment ( Figure 6C ).

Allochthonous organic matter washed off the shores by winter storms and brought by small rivers may be significant contributors but their impact is local and still waits for future research to estimate.

Conclusions/Significance The number of IPDMA articles exhibited an increasing trend over the past few years and mainly focused on cancer and circulatory diseases.

Remarkably, a decreasing trend in MRSA bacteremia has been seen since 2006 in UK, following a government initiative to establish a mandatory surveillance and a target to reduce MRSA bacteremia rates over a 3-year period [5] , facilitated by the corresponding optimization of administrative support, infrastructural change and resource allocation [1] .

However, distribution shape showed a level of phylogenetic close to significance ( Table 5 ).

Carrying one or more CDR/CGR showed a trend towards a worse prognosis, although our cohort was heterogeneous for survival analysis and besides, multivariate analysis could not be performed.

Similarly, when we monitored the expression of several autophagy related genes we found a significant upregulation of Cathepsin L ( Cat L ) and Bnip3 ( Figure 3B ), while LC3 and Beclin-1 mRNAs showed a trend of induction.

We found increasing maternal vitamin D concentration showed a trend towards a reduced risk of preterm delivery.

FISH HER2 was also marginally significant at α = 10% ( Table 2 ).

When BPZE1 and RSV were added simultaneously, MDDC very efficiently induced allogeneic T cell proliferation, with an increasing trend as compared to the proliferation induced by BPZE1-treated MDDC.

For the errorless, dual-task and analogy learning strategies, there was however a slight trend for the experts to consider these strategies as likely to result in a more implicit form of learning.
