Furthermore, nonsmokers constitute approximately 53% of female lung cancer patients and an increasing trend of the proportion of lung cancer in non-smokers was observed by several researches which suggested that other environmental risk factors or genetic background especially play an indispensable role in the development of lung cancer[ 4 – 6 ].
Excerpts
Moreover, the FECB phenotype was the most symptomatic with higher BODE score and showed a trend to worse survival after one year.
Moreover, the percentage of plaquettes with painted surfaces without defined pictorial motifs present an increasing trend from the Gravettian to the Magdalenian ( Fig 1 ) suggesting that these plaquettes could be related to the pigment processing.
The percentage of the Parpalló plaquettes decorated with zoomorphic motifs and well-defined signs (calculated with respect to the total number of painted plaquettes in each period) present a decreasing trend from the Solutrean to the Magdalenian period ( Fig 1 ).
Differences with a p -value < 0.05 were considered significant, and a p -value <0.10 was considered a trend towards significance.
“Increased vividness” [ χ 2 (2, n = 15) = 5.20, p = 0.074] showed a trend towards significance.
In general, the scale variables such as fishing years, initial investments, boat capacity, operating distance, number of fish days, age, and number of family members show an increasing trend with increasing levels of participation, while the number of fishing trips shows a decreasing trend.
The variables membership to a fisher association and risk attitude are highly significant in non, partial, and full-participation in PPTST FIP at α = 0.01.
Inferred uncertainty For inferred uncertainty, the expertise effects for bebop and general model-fit both remained marginally non-significant ( Fig 2 , Table 2 ).
While the current study supports previous suggestions of increased mortality risk and hemolysis parameters with prolonged QTc, it is important to note our findings of association of QTc with mortality are of modest significance and do not imply a causal mechanism for death.
toma, etc.).[ 2 , 14 – 16 ] However, experience demonstrates that when baseline income inequalities and frequency of TxA are high, a significant number of patients with lymphoma and Wilms tumor abandon therapy.[ 17 – 24 ] For these common and curable childhood cancers, even small percentages of TxA may be significant in crude numbers.
Highly significant values from the M2 difference test indicate poor fit, especially when accompanied with high RMSEA values (>.08).
Short-term exposure had an increasing trend with temperature, while long-term exposure showed a relatively flat response with the biggest difference between exposure lengths at 31°C.
In a sub-group analysis by gender and cancer site (colon or rectal), some of the nominally significant associations observed in the whole population appeared to be limited to males ( S1 Table ) and to colon cancer ( S2 Table ), respectively.
Highly variable data can produce low R 2 values, even though a significant trend has been fit.
Although it is true that part of the increasing trend in PDR was due to an increasing trend observed in E138A frequency ( Fig 5 ), affecting RPV and ETR (drugs not used in Nicaragua), PDR to the two most common first-line ART regimens in Nicaragua reached important levels in 2015: 14.6% to AZT + 3TC + EFV and 10.4% to TDF + FTC + EFV.
The highest average SRSi value was recorded in the inner-most embayment during the dry season 2006, reflecting a decreasing trend seaward ( Fig 4d ).
The correlation between Strength and Total Assets is almost flat and negative even after the collapse of 2007-08, but it shows an increasing trend in the recent period ( Fig 3 , plot on the center).
On average across all four genotypes and both sexes, the exercise treatment showed a highly significant decrease in fly weight, triglyceride content, and glycogen content as well as an increase in protein content ( Fig 2 , Tables 1 and 2 ).
This SNP is also significantly associated with systolic and diastolic BP in the European ancestry GWAS meta-analysis from the ICBP, and with systolic BP in African Americans, but was borderline significant for diastolic BP in African Americans ( Table 2 ).
This can be verified by the presence of highly significant autocorrelation in absolute or squared returns, despite insignificant autocorrelation in raw returns.
Cesarean section presented a slightly significant risk only among children diagnosed older than 24 months of age.
A pooled analysis of 8 observational studies verified that herpes zoster brought a higher risk to stroke; but the risk showed a decreasing trend along with the time after herpes zoster.
There was a negative but only marginally statistically significant relationship between the number of isolates that matched human cases and emergent wetlands.
They revealed that blood manganese levels were negatively associated with glaucoma prevalence, while mercury had a marginally significant association with glaucoma.
