Excerpts

Histological observations when scored as absent (0), mild (1), moderate (2), or severe (3) for nine different lesions in six compartments (pleura, alveolus, septum, interstitium, bronchiole, and bronchus) demonstrated significant differences for both treatment drug(s) and start times that were significant, including highly significant lower scores for group 6, treated with both FPI and ibuprofen from day 3 when compared to other groups.

Both the total area and the maximum patch area of urban bare lots exhibited a decreasing trend.

Age-specific trajectories showed a decreasing trend in the rates of total respiratory health service utilization from birth to five years of age for all groups studied.

Different from the ET o , which generally displayed a negative trend during 1960–1989 and a positive trend during 1990–2019, the seasonal and annual ET o showed various changing trends in each subregion and throughout the entire province during 1960–2019 ( Table 2 ).

Different from the reported continuous unidirectional variations in the ET o , in the province of Jiangsu, it generally showed a decreasing trend before 1990 but followed an increasing trend from 1990 to 2019, which led to the different characteristics of the “evaporation paradox” in the periods from 1960 to 1989, from 1990 to 2019, and from 1960 to 2019.

Social support may be significant in preventing other negative consequences of occupational stress, including burnout syndrome.

Currently, there is an increasing trend in the daily consumption of water with a continuous drop in the groundwater level and increasing difficulty of salt lake exploitation.

We recognize that although we found a significant positive correlation between the IPL thickness and IPL density (thereby providing an internal control) and also detected a significant trend of correlation between the local alterations of IPL density and corresponding visual field scores, additional studies with methodological improvements are warranted to further verify and expand presented observations of the IPL reflectance.

Studies on the effect of TH after myocardial infarction in adults showed a trend towards a reduction in infarct size (IS) [ 62 – 70 ].

Similarly, the percentage of female income-dependent individuals shows an increasing trend from RUG1 to RUG2.

In an attempt to evaluate the risk factors associated with IPD incidence in subgroup analysis, all comorbidities (dementia, depression, hypertension, and neurodegenerative disease) showed a trend for increased risks but with insignificant results.

IPD incidence was the highest in the 60–69 year-old group, which is slightly different from previous Korean IPD epidemiology results in 2007 where a ceiling of IPD incidence in individuals aged 70–79 years was noted with a decreasing trend thereafter [ 29 ].

Although EC exposure was positively associated with HUA in a dose-dependent manner only in men ( P trend = 0.04), a similar tendency was also observed in women with marginal significance ( P trend = 0.102).

The optimum water content also shows an increasing trend with an increase in cement content.

Further note that highly significant (large) value of ‘Pearson’s correlation coefficient’ alone does not imply cause-effect relationship.

Convergent validity All loadings in the classroom learning model are highly significant, as required for convergent validity.

Trend analysis from the 1st to the 10th word showed that the baseline diameter in the repeat-only condition had a decreasing trend that was consistent with other studies where listener showed fatigue or habituation with similar stimuli and task within a block [ 17 , 40 – 42 ] In comparison, the baseline diameter from the 1st to the 10th word in the repeat-with-recall condition had an increasing trend.

The EBV of EP40 showed an increasing trend with a genetic gain of 1.87 eggs per generation.

The L’Abbé plots also showed a trend of having more H . pylori colonization in the control group.

I do not see any comparisons among GCs even though it was highly significant.

Of the three performance indicators the number of points in a season is insignificantly different from zero, while ranking and goal difference are both highly significant.

Especially in the small intestine, epithelial surface is constantly increasing due to villi enlargement and epithelial cell proliferation [ 46 ].The present study revealed a highly significant increase in the mRNA expression of the potentially pore-forming claudins 7 and 10 as well as of OCLN, MD2 and ZO1 in jejunum during that period.

We have also written in a clearer way why our findings indicate that diagnostic help from health care services may be significant.

Together, the morphometric results indicate unaltered inflammatory and fibroblast infiltration at the early wound healing phase, and a slight trend towards less collagen deposition in the chronic remodeling phase after MI in FAP-KO animals.

Our results showed a conversion rate of 23.1% with a highly significant difference between patients with stable receptors and those with any receptor conversion.
