Excerpts

There were no statistically significant differences in hit rate, false alarm rate, sensitivity index or response bias between the two groups although response bias approached significance.

ICW/H 2 and ECW/H 2 exhibited an increasing trend in accordance with the TBW/H 2 quartile.

Among these risk factors, a clear trend of increased risk was observed for alcohol consumption and smoking (linear trend test P <0.0001 for both variables).

Salt preference and alcohol consumption had were marginally significant (< 0.1; these variables were thus included in the model), and meal regularity and physical activity had no effect on gastric cancer incidence in women.

Similar results were found for men, and only meal regularity had marginal significance.

In Romania, the overall incidence of tuberculosis was approximately 100 cases per 100,000 population in 2011, with a decreasing trend from an incidence of 142 per 100,000 population in 2002, but the number of severe cases of TB in children (meningoencephalitis, miliary, cavitary) still maintains a high annual rate (65/100,000 in 2011) [ 4 ].

Health outcomes demonstrate a positive trend for all groups between 1999 and 2010 (Tables 6 and 8 , Fig 2e–2g ).

Link density and reciprocity Fig 10B reveals an increasing trend in the link density in all parts of the network.

Over the 1990s, we observe a decreasing trend of both Q d , w (C c ) and Q d , w (C m ), whereas the modularity of C s is rising except for the period of the global financial crisis in 2009.

In contrast to depression predicting incident asthma, this meta-analysis examining the effect of asthma on incident depression showed a trend toward increased RRs but did not reach significant difference statistically with high heterogeneity.

However, there was a clear trend towards fewer interventions (less need for treatment, fewer hospital admissions) associated with sevoflurane post-conditioning in patients experiencing any event.

Spotted salamanders Breeding-salamander sex ratio increased significantly in both cut treatments during the study, and a marginally significant trend indicated that the rate of increase in the 30m treatment was slightly lower than that in the 100m treatment ( Table 2 ; Fig 3 ).

Subjects living in the lower socioeconomic category census blocks experience a higher NO 2 -related mortality (ER = 3.14%; 95%CI = [1.41, 4.90]) than in the most privileged ones (the interaction p-value is borderline significant = 0.07).

Software using Hidden Markov models (HMM) showed a trend to predict fewer CNVs than segmentation-based algorithms albeit with greater validity.

In the present study, neither KRAS nor PIK3CA mutations were associated with survival, although a clear trend was seen for reduced survival in patients carrying a PIK3CA mutation, especially with the SCC subtype.

It has been reported that the prediction quality can be improved when there are a large number of SNPs, each of which is merely nominally significant, especially for diseases such as bipolar disorder and coronary heart disease[ 46 ].

At 18 month (n=197), the offspring born to obese mothers had lost five points in language composite scores and the previous differences in language and cognition was replaced by a suggestive trend of lower gross motor scores in the overweight, obese, and diabetic groups.

Using univariate non-parametric statistics, there were no differences regarding alpha or beta diversity between AH8.1 carriers (categories I and II) and non-carriers (categories III and IV), however four different taxa ( Prevotellaceae , Clostridium XVIII , Coprococcus , Enterorhabdus ) had nominally significant lower abundances in AH8.1 carriers than non-carriers.

The iP content in the leaves showed a trend similar to that in the petioles, whereas ZT was maintained at a relatively stable level during carrot growth.

Comparison of this data showed a trend towards a higher success rate when using SCID mice, compared to the use of nude mice either for the F1 generation (28.2% vs. 19.3%) or for the final successful establishment (16.9% vs. 13.6%), although these differences were not statistically significant.

Assessing patterns of the nexus between land use, poverty, and environment Despite these first general trends identified in Table 1 , the differences between landscape types and their poverty rate are statistically hardly significant.

The temporal distribution of hardgrounds reveals a possible trend ( Fig 4 ).

Partially significant correlation was observed between SN-DMN coupling and RT ( Fig 4a ).

Previous work showing a highly significant relationship between cytokine levels evaluated by immunohistochemistry on the one hand and a score for pain on the other indicate that quantification of sections stained by immunohistochemistry can be used to detect correlations with pain [ 6 ].

In the liquid fraction, archaea (Methanobacteria/Methanomicrobia and Thermoplasmata) showed highly significant positive correlations with A:P ratio and n-butyrate, and negative correlations with propionate, so it appears that the relationship between relative abundance of these archaea and VFAs was opposite to that of OTU-S3004.
