Excerpts

Specifically, both scores had statistically significant association with low HDL cholesterol level and marginally significant associations with high BMI and high triglyceride level.

For example, the relationship between a force within the anteroposterior plane and the shearing motion response which develops in the medial lateral plane may be significant but would be unquantified and unconsidered without rigorously specifying the 3-dimensional stiffness.

Moreover, the CASP3 rs2705897 GT genotype showed marginally significant association with decreased OS and DFS, compared with the GG genotype.

Co-treatment with SMI and NTG showed a trend of decreasing the EF and FS, but it was not significant.

IOS detected significant bronchodilator responses in areas of resistance and were nearly significant in reactance within an asthmatic group [ 46 , 47 ].

Only geographic region of origin achieved statistical significance while there was a trend towards significance for the proportion of patients recently ( S2 Table ).

In our study, highly significant effects of protection were detected in the southern zone of the reserve where trochus population density and biomass increased more than ten-fold, along with a marked increase in individual sizes (+25%).

Other land cover variables such as the share of impervious surfaces and clay roofs, which appear highly significant in cities like Medellin [ 7 ], do not show significant predictive power in our analysis.

Furthermore, given the analysis of multiple primary and secondary endpoints, marginally significant p-values must be interpreted with caution.

Though some studies have excluded patients who died, previous work has shown that there may be significant variability in LOS among ICU non-survivors.[ 14 ] We tested the impact of excluding deaths on the LOS association and on the estimated RALOSR (results not shown).

Moreover, there were significant positive correlations between delayed SCC and baseline levels of SAA, CRP, VEGF-A, sIL-2Rα and IP-10 ( Fig 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and 2F , respectively), while the combination of these markers showed a trend towards distinguishing fast and slow responder groups ( Fig 2G ).

For both currents, there was a clear trend of increasing current amplitude with increasing MeHg ( Table 1 , S1 Fig ).

Based on our a priori hypotheses, planned comparisons were conducted to follow up on the interaction effect despite its marginal significance.

Diagnostic plots of measured concentrations versus predicted concentrations ( Fig 3 ) and weighted residuals versus measured concentrations ( Fig 4 ) showed a trend of the measured concentrations being higher than the predicted concentrations by the endocarditis model for concentrations above about 10–12 mg/L.

Again, considering the clear trend observed in the phosphorylation of IκB, we endeavored to establish whether the magnitude of these changes would be different on a cell-by-cell basis; using absolute cell count as to normalize lane loads, we found that the increase in IκB phosphorylation, when compared to total IκB, was highly significant ( Fig 4D ).

Although some results did not attain statistical significance, a clear trend appeared in every experiment.

In addition, other highly significant SNPs were located near the RING finger protein 32 (RNF32), DNAJ homolog subfamily B member 6 (DNAJB6), condensin-2 complex subunit G2 (NCAPG2) and double-stranded RNA-specific editase B2 (ADARB2), which were all located in the region between 8 Mb to 13.4 Mb and had never been reported to be associated with the trait of Po.

A clear trend to a lower incidence of VAP episodes was observed in patients randomized to AG group.

Patients with initial BMI above 30 kg/m 2 experienced a marginally significant 1% decrease in risk of death for each 1 kg/m 2 weight loss ( Table 3 ).

panamensis , marginally significant effects of N in A . blackiana , and no significant nutrient effects in H . concinna ( Table 2 ).

The post-hoc tests for the scores of component 1 of the PLS-DA showed that the significant differences among fertilization treatments were almost entirely due to highly significant differences between the control treatment and six of the seven fertilization treatments ( S2 Table ).

Results The mean values of (AP–Pre)/Pre show a decreasing trend with the increase in the grade of POPF ( Table 1 ).

We have also found, although marginally significant, interactions between sex and treatment in the three variables analysed.

As in the Park Grass experiment, we found a significant (additive) interaction effect on ANPP of nitrogen and phosphorus, and a (marginally significant) negative correlation between ANPP and species richness.

Partial SE led to increase in the numbers of platelets (pre: 70.89 ± 34.87 [34–132] x 10 3 /μl, post: 121.44 ± 42.49 [77–196] x 10 3 /μl, p < 0.05), white blood cells (pre: 3.17 ± 1.94 [1.23–7.18] x 10 3 /μl, post: 4.83 ± 2.02 [2.64–9.10] x 10 3 /μl, p = 0.09), and hemoglobin (pre: 10.09 ± 1.50 [8.10–12.60] g/dl, post: 10.87 ± 1.88 [8.20–13.70] g/dl, p = n.s.); only changes in platelet count were statistically significant while white blood cell counts showed an increasing trend.
