Excerpts

In ACS subjects with above median betaine excretion a positive trend (r = +0.10) between betaine excretion and homocysteine was not significant; the corresponding correlation in lipid clinic subjects was r = +0.42 (p = 0.0001).

Uncorrected p-values<5 e-07 were taken as very strong proof of genome-wide association, while p-values between 5 e-07 and 5 e-05 were considered as moderately significant associations (Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 2007).

We were particularly interested in seeing if there might be significant differences among different surrogate-normal groups.

In addition, the growth reductions in all but the northernmost counties were found to be marginally significant, which is noteworthy considering that the available time series were relatively short (n = 56) compared to the recommendations for interrupted ARIMA analysis [26] .

Moreover, while Norway spruce growth anomalies (after controlling for the influence of climate) in the years 2005–2007 showed a positive trend for the rest of Sweden they decreased in the counties affected by Gudrun ( Figure 3a,b ).

A univariate analysis of the factors associated with signing a DNR form in patients with ALS found that diabetes ( p < .01), use of invasive ( p = .01) or non-invasive ventilators ( p = .003), use of NG tube feeding ( p = .007), years of follow-up ( p = .01), and number of hospitalizations ( p < .01) were highly significant ( Table 2 ).

The younger male Dig showed a trend to intervene preferentially in male-male conflicts compared to the other classes (see Fig. 2b ).

[15] found little evidence of taxonomic distinctiveness between the two subspecies, based on a phylogenetic reconstruction of mtDNA sequences, but did find highly significant differentiation between the three Southern Hemisphere populations based on mtDNA haplotype frequencies and a high probability of population assignment using seven microsatellite loci [15] .

However, for HIV-1 BAL there was a significant trend of enrichment in transmitted variants, regardless whether the identical sequences were removed or not for the analysis.

However, because the number of replicate sites that we studied was modest and because we were concerned about falsely rejecting the hypothesis that oil exposure affected our response variables, we considered p-values between 0.05 and 0.10 as marginally significant and indicative of strong trends.

jensenii colonized cultures did not show significant reductions following PIC application although there was an apparent trend.

However, because saliva collection is so simple and non-invasive, it is probable that return rates would be quite significant, and likely higher than the rate of blood sample collection.

This pattern was, however, only marginally significant, most likely due to the fact that we had (because of logistic reasons) relatively low sample sizes for Ig levels.

Compared to controls, patients with benign MS showed a trend for elevated PCr ratios in the NAWM but the difference was not significant.

In the data of executive tenure, the mean value decreases gradually from 8.536 to 8.354, indicating that the executive tenure in the sample enterprises has a decreasing trend.

Some ethnic backgrounds retained marginal significance, in particular Gypsies (aOR 8.26, CI 1.03–66.34) and Amerinds (aOR 2.30, CI 1.16–4.58).

Identification of such markers might be significant in profiling the circulating tumor cells and predicting the patterns of metastasis in patients.

sapiens mean is not significant for all PCs (PC 1 z -0.89; PC 2 z 0.95; approaching significance for PC 3 z 1.70, p 0.05).

In our study we found a highly significant male-female interaction for mating speed that persisted without the Zimbabwe line and evidence for strong behavioral reproductive isolation between the Zimbabwe and Beijing lines.

However, further study is needed to understand the interactions between cannabinoids and other receptor targets as well as cannabinoid effects in other brain areas affected in TLE or in other TLE models, where axon sprouting may be significant but not as robust as in the pilocarpine-treated mouse.

Patients scored significantly worse regarding psychological symptoms in general (BSI, Global Severity Index) as well as on seven of the nine specific subscales with the other two approaching significance.

Results We were not able to observe a statistically significant TCD effect in the EEG data of the whole patient group, but a subsample of patients with evidence for root damage showed a trend in this direction.

We found medium size but highly significant correlations between the individual pain rating and the EEG parameters as well as between the subjective variables and the EEG patterns.

The slope of mHLA-DR expression (days 3–4/days 1–2) showed a highly significant statistical difference between non-septic and septic patients ( Table 1 ).

There were moderate estimated effects of PM exposure on cardiovascular morbidity: multivariable-adjusted odds for the multiplicity of CVD outcomes increased by 1.32 and 1.15 times per 10 μg/m 3 increase in PM 2.5 and PM 10 respectively in the LCR analyses; the estimated PM 2.5 effects diminished quite a bit following spatial adjustment with indicators distinguishing the nine Census regions, while the spatially adjusted PM 10 effects on MI and STK remained marginally significant ( Figures 3 and 4 ).
