Excerpts

Waist to hip ratio showed a trend of association with daily GERD symptoms in men ( P for trend 0.04), but this association attenuated after adjustment for BMI.

A total of 12,811 (69.2%) patients received chemotherapy in our cohort and this proportion had increased very slightly over the study period showing a borderline significant trend (test for trends 0.055).

The heterogeneity among groups was significant for ecological pollination specialization (i.e., number of pollinator species), and marginally significant for phenotypic pollination specialization (exclusively for floral symmetry) ( Figure 3 ).

<major> To balance your discussion section, also discuss some of the variables that were close to significance, yet not significant and provide the justification in light of existing literature. <recommendation> If you integrate a theory in the introduction section, kindly discuss your findings supporting or refuting the theory. <recommendation> Please reduce the length of implications.

For overweight, a borderline significant association was found after omitting the Million Women Study [11] and the Iowa Women’s Health Study [16] .

The Spearman's rank correlation coefficients between the abdominal pain scores and the respective severity scores of coagulopathy and neuromuscular paralysis ( table 6 ) were highly significant.

Chi-square tests mainly showed highly significant associations between the dependent variables (T2DM and obesity) and all independent variables (see Table 2 ).

Collectively, these findings indicate a pronounced trend of aging in HNC burden in China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.

Specifically, the domain scores for Depression and Caregiver Burden reduced post-service compared to pre-service, and these changes were statistically significant with the results for the Depression domain being highly significant.

Increased HCV RNA expression showed a trend towards statistical significance for positive-sense RNA in the presence of HIV NL4-3 at day 14 and in the presence of HIV YK-JRCSF at days 1, 3, and 14.

With a p-value of 0.052 their analysis almost reached significance for lower PA levels in patients.

While PBN, a spin trap with ROS scavenging properties [79] , did not protect against ECM significantly, it showed a trend for partial protection.

When the intrusion is directed towards the animals, as in hunting, ecotourism or research, these behavioral changes may be significant both for the animals and the objectives of the human activity.

Conclusions This study highlights a positive trend in sorghum’s integration into grain-based food products in China and Australia and identifies opportunities for further market penetration through innovation and education.

For the association analyses, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant and P<0.10 (but ≥0.05) was considered of marginal significance.

Leprb, the long-form leptin receptor, showed a trend of increase ( Fig. 5B ) probably indicating an adaptive response to the antagonism to LepR.

There was also a clear trend for vasodilation of venules ( Figure 2A,D,E ) but this effect did not reach the significance (n = 8; P = 0.09).

Pretreatment with the second σ 1 preferring antagonist BD1047 showed a trend toward the attenuation of the antidepressant-like effects of dextromethorphan (30 mg/kg), with the results of 10 mg/kg pretreatment with BD1047 illustrated in Figure 2B .

While ERK activation showed a trend towards an increase within the first hour of treatment, this was not significant.

Thus, from 0–35 d after anthesis, grain weight showed an increasing trend; grain weight rapidly increased in the early stage of grain filling, then the growth rate gradually decreased in the late stage ( Fig 2 ).

SP-D-GITRL showed a trend toward decreased proinflammatory cytokine levels ( Fig. 5E ).

Whereas the COPD patients in our study had significantly increased PGC-1α gene expression after exercise compared to baseline, the induction in healthy controls only showed a trend to significance.

Variance analysis for all traits of the 182 DH lines grown at different environments showed that effects of genotypes, years and the interaction between genotype and year were all highly significant ( Table 2 ).

A p-value of 0.06, nearing significance, was detected for at least one GEP subtype.

Results were considered statistically significant, highly significant or very highly significant if the p-value fell below 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001, respectively.
