Of the top 10 identified upstream regulators, SCAP (p = 1.25x10 -45 ), INSIG1or2 (p = 8.06x10 -37 & p = 4.96x10 -17 , respectively), and SREBP2 (p = 1.47x10 -16 ) were all found to be highly significant ( Fig 5A and 5B ).

In the present study, presence of vaginal discharge was the only characteristic statistically associated with a higher occurrence of GBS colonization, although a strong trend between white pregnant women and lower occurrence of GBS colonization was also seen.

We observed a highly significant genetic correlation (>90%) between the PDX tumors harvested from the 3 mice ( Fig 3A ).

A highly significant interaction was found between post-activation time and the sucrose concentration for VCL and VAP.

Visual evoked potential-VEP and median nerve SEP (N13-N20) also showed a trend of stabilization or amelioration of latencies over time in treatment groups, although these differences didn ́t reach statistically significance over the time, as well as between groups;(p.F = 0,59; p.kW = 0,89).

Both in men and women there was a highly significant interaction between BMI and baseline FVC: the negative effect of BMI on FEV 1 increases with larger values of FVC on baseline.

Despite a favorable trend for dyslipidemia, at the end of follow-up, about 97% of patients had levels of LDL-C ≥ 1.8102 mmol/L and over 50% did not report consumption of lipid lowering medication.

Discussion During more than a decade long follow-up of a Middle Eastern population with prevalent CVD, an increasing trend was observed in the prevalence of general and central obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, CKD and physical inactivity.

Unfortunately, our study revealed an unfavorable trend in the levels of physical inactivity, reaching over 50% in all patients.

Querying these genes in DAVID ( S2 Table ) yielded significant enrichment clusters related generally to histocompatibility (DAVID enrichment score = 3.75), metal ion binding (DAVID enrichment score = 2.30), and a marginally significant enrichment cluster related to G-protein-coupled receptors (DAVID enrichment score = 1.98).

A similar, albeit not significantly significant, trend was observed in splenocytes incubated with IL-18 ( Fig 3J ).

An overall trend was the positive correlation between giraffe browse availability and giraffe density.

[ 21 ], positive effects of levodopa and the dopamine D2 receptor agonist bromocriptine on serial ordering performance only reached borderline significance (also see [ 22 ]).

“pC4W”) increased only in animals that received combination of plasmids while delivery of each growth factor alone showed a trend to increase compared to “pC4W” negative control ( Fig 2B , middle graph) without statistical significance.

As regards the activity 24 hpa ( Fig 3B ; S4 Table ), only K (p<0.05) group showed a slightly significant increase in the number of crossings comparing to Control, while the other treatments showed no significant differences comparing to Control.

The allele frequency of VEGFR-2 rs2305948T and of VEGF-A rs2010963C showed a trend of higher frequency than in general population (12.1% vs. 8.0% and 34.5% vs. 31.2%, respectively).

There was no difference in any of the secondary outcomes, although the amiodarone group showed a trend toward more non-pharmacological rhythm control.

P values between 0.06 and 0.05 were considered to be marginally significant prior to correction, and reported as such.

Positive LST response showed an increasing trend with age.

While neutral proteins did not show a significant trend, dispensable proteins appeared diluted among proteins that appeared in an increasing number of pathways.

The increase in all non-SSB drinks was borderline significant 0.011 (95% CI -0.002, -0.020) and the increase in non-SSB excluding water and fruit juice was statistically significant, 0.009 (95% CI 0.004, 0.013).

crucifera , both Phase 1 and Phase 2 E increased with humidity, although Phase 1 differences were only marginally significant.

Findings All variables are highly significant and reliably predict completeness of registration across a wide range of registered crude death rates (R-squared 0.85).

We further divided rye bread consumption into three groups (two times or less per week, 3–6 times per week, and daily or more) and explored the association with breast cancer risk, where we found a significant trend across the groups, HR 1.0 (95% CI 0.5–2.0) and HR 1.7 (95% CI 0.9–3.2), respectively (P trend = 0.043).

Table 3 shows there was a decreasing trend of stillbirths among those who were referred to health institutions (heath centres and hospitals); from 91.7 to 25.1 per 100 births (Mantel-Haenszel chi-square for linear trend 40.16; P<0.001).
