Excerpts

Survival outcomes according to tumor stage confirmed significant differences between the two groups of GSN expression ( p = 0.021 for stage II patients; p = 0.027 for stage III patients), and showed a trend toward better survival rates in the OAS2 overexpression group than in the underexpression group.

The height of the head had a highly significant effect on PC1, which was confirmed by the visual evaluation of the extreme deformation grids as well as from the conditional R 2 of 0.59, one of the highest values in the study.

We observed a borderline significant trend association between high fatigue (elevated scores of SOFI) and the risk of CVD.

This was clear also from the three cases in which simulation results were continued until 10 years follow-up, where a clear trend in disc changes were observed, especially from 5 years post-surgery, even when changes within the first 2 years were modest.

Marginally significant associations were found for poor adherence determined by the one-month days taken measure (OR = 1.75, 95% CI 0.98–3.13) and the 3-day measure (OR = 2.04, 95% CI 0.99–4.18).

A further study investigating the effects of acupuncture or attention in people suffering chronic stress observed a trend towards significance in improving the diurnal profile of salivary cortisol for both groups [ 32 ].

The small sample size may also have caused a loss of effect in outcomes close to significance.

Nevertheless, the effects of organization and disorganization on valence were highly significant at the group level and the valence and arousal ratings did not correlate significantly with individual differences in desire for order and organization behavior.

In 2010 Collembola species richness increased marginally significant with plant species richness (F 1,76 = 3.76; Fig 2A ) and plant functional group richness (F 1,76 = 2.82; Table 2 ).

However, as in the case of the in vitro data, a clear trend can be observed in the lag time between the core-shell formulations containing PLGA 50:50 and PLGA 100:0 as barrier.

Although UKA led to significantly longer stride length than TKA, the difference was just marginally significant (p-value of 0.04).

When the normalized aggregate lengths for the genes listed in S5 File were compared in the M and S stages, the majority of these genes showed a trend towards longer mRNAs in the M stage ( Fig 4A ).

HPV prevalence in oropharyngeal cancers showed an increasing trend from 60% in 2003 to 80% in 2016.

Even though a positive trend of association between blood mercury and TSH levels was recorded, it was not significant (r = 0.07, P = 0.4121) Conclusion Small scale miners in Bibiani are exposed to mercury above the occupational threshold which may affect thyroid hormone levels. status released display-pdf yes is-olf no is-manuscript no is-preprint no is-journal-matter no is-scanned no is-retracted no Received 2018 May 21; Accepted 2018 Aug 17; Collection date 2018.

AIDS-defining events were the most frequent cause of hospitalization (61.9%) with an increasing trend during the study period.

Actual mechanical, liver specific test of fibrosis only showed a trend for a reduction in fibrotic tissue following treatment with GR-MD-02.

Further, estimated percentage of false prediction (PFP) values of common DEGs were compared, and it was observed that 63% (1828) and 64% (1860) genes under drought and cold stress respectively were highly significant (PFP <0.0001) which included ~36% (1029/2890) of stress-related genes up-regulated under both the stresses ( S3 Table ).

Results revealed a highly significant interaction between genotype and food processing methods where, occasionally, genotypes with highest IVPD under one processing method ended up to be the lowest under another.

There was also a positive trend between PMTCT coverage and patient satisfaction; however, this did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.06)[ 31 ].

Third, although we assessed all reported genome-wide significant SNPs documented for pancreatic cancer in GWASs, it is likely that other risk variants with borderline significance were not captured.

At lower concentrations of PTX, the injection (i.m.) with CG5 cells mixed with PTX (2μM)-primed ASCs (ratio 2:1), the experiment did not give the same results, rather an increasing trend of xenograft growth (Panel C in S1 Fig ).

The Z values of rainfall in January and August were -2.08 and -1.19 respectively, showing a decreasing trend.

In addition, despite non-significant (p = 0.114), the time to exhaustion presented a clear trend to be greater in cycling than in running at supramaximal effort (175.9 ± 22.0 s vs 155.4 ± 43.2 s), which could have contributed to the similar values of peak [La] (since cycling involves less muscle mass than running).

The FDR p-values for the methylation difference between TOF subjects and controls were highly significant.

Except for 2009, the placebo effects in other years are not significant or only weakly significant with magnitudes near zero.
