Compared to TAC monotherapy at the same dose level, combination treatment of 50 mg/kg TAC and vancomycin showed a trend of lower total luminescence intensity (2.96 ×10 8 vs . 3.95×10 8 p), although the difference was not statistically significant ( S5 Fig ).

There was also a clear trend that AP reduced the population of GFP-positive cells induced by doxorubicin ( Fig 3C ).

Sleep studies investigating healthy adults report an overall trend of entropy decrease from WAKE, across transitional (N1) and light (N2) to deep (N3) sleep, with a relative increase during REM sleep [ 18 – 20 ].

Our current data also shows that unlike p-Src and p-ERK1/2, there is a clear trend for an increase in p-EGFR in the mucosal side of the airways, which is in-line with findings demonstrating increased EGFR immunoreactivity in the bronchial epithelium [ 25 ].

Within the conditions in background noise, there was a significant effect of the sound level on the pattern of weights, which was mainly caused by a slight trend for increased weights at the end of the sounds (“recency effect”) in the condition with lower average level.

There is a clear trend among all methods to yield higher ITH estimates with the protected mutation set.

In turn, the almost significant frequent-initial preference observed when exposed to misaligned cues could suggest that infants detected the incongruence between the auditory and visual facial cues (or at least were unable to integrate the facial cues in any way), and hence ignored the unreliable visual information and segmented the language based on the cumulative and more stable auditory sources of information, as found in certain instances with adults [ 46 – 47 ].

In contrast to region 3, six of the nine mean summer estimates of bottom temperature in region 5 from 2006 to 2015 were above the 1998–2015 summer average, indicative of an increasing trend in bottom temperature in this region.

Mean summer estimates of bottom temperature in region 3 from 2013 to 2016 were between 0.10 and 1.34°C below the 2008–2016 average also indicating a decreasing trend in bottom temperature in this region.

A significant negative coefficient for gender is found in the agreement and compromise models, and a marginally significant positive coefficient in the conflict model.

The change might be significant at higher concentrations than the standard inoculum size.

Soil salt in 0–20 cm and 40–60 cm layers showed a trend of lower volatility along with the growth of cotton plants.

Soil salt in mildly salinized farmland decreased in the whole soil layers, except that the surface layer showed an increasing trend.

Starting treatment greater than 8 weeks after detection and within 2 to 4 weeks after detection slightly approaching significance with respective p-values of 0.056 and 0.092 is showed to have a lower hazard (beneficial).

The 3D-EPI showed a trend of lower sensitivity and higher specificity compared to the SMS-EPI sequence, these differences were however not statistically significant neither for AR(1) (paired t-test with 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.58 and t = 0.57 for the sensitivity; p = 0.44 and t = 0.81 for the specificity) nor for FAST (p = 0.91 and t = 0.12 for the sensitivity; p = 0.68 and t = 0.43 for the specificity).

Trends in antithrombotic drug use Large retrospective population-based studies have established a clear trend of increased OAC prescribing in AF patients, driven by uptake of DOACs.[ 6 , 7 ] Our ability to reproduce these findings by applying NLP to unstructured EHR data strongly supports the validity of the NLP pipeline.

Employment status and being worried about disappointing loved ones were marginally significant at p-values less than 0.10; after controlling for other factors, the odds of high versus low or medium PCAC score was 55% higher among women who reported working for pay than those who did not (p = 0.06) and 29% lower among women who were worried about disappointing loved ones compared to those who were not (p = 0.07), respectively.

When looking at the absolute frequency of youth reporting violence exposure, females in schools with a lower FRLP showed a trend toward higher exposure proportions than males within that FRLP category.

In fact, we confirmed that GBE treatment (100 μg/ml) for 3 days ameliorated significantly neurite count (+79%), total neurite length (+75%), attachment (+138%) and endpoints (+64%) parameters and showed a positive trend to increase soma count and the extent of neurite branching compared to the untreated SH-SY5Y cells (Figs 3 and 4 ).

For instance, retinal vasomotor function is, as part of the cerebral circulation, largely dependent on local nitric oxide (NO) production.[ 31 , 32 ] Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous NO synthase inhibitor, is a known independent cardiovascular risk factor and has been shown to influence arteriolar and venule diameter.[ 33 ] A comparison of obese and moderately-trained subjects as well as athletes showed a trend to lower ADMA in individuals with higher physical fitness.[ 34 ] This observation may point towards an NO-mediated mechanism for fitness-dependent blood flow measurements in the FAZ area.

According to the Wilcoxon test there were no differences in mean tow duration between TED and CTRL trawls, except that TAR showed a barely significant difference of about 6 minutes ( Table 2 ).

coindetii showed a constant ratio close to 0.5 and a decreasing trend for larger individuals.

Cumulative IS incidence for the two targeted pollutants was assessed using the Kaplan–Meier method ( S5 Fig ), presenting a clear trend of increased IS risk with increased each targeted pollutant exposure.

The medians of ESR-AD and ESR-PC exhibited an increasing trend from Group 1 (−17 and −33.3%, respectively) to Group 2 (−11 and −13%, respectively) to Group 3 (3.5% and 3.6%, respectively; P for trend < 0.001).

Finally, the push-off and lateral ankle mechanisms demonstrate a negative trend Stimulus Away (see Fig 2C and Table 2 ).
