Excerpts

However, this finding was not clearly validated in the microarray cohort, although higher FUT8 mRNA expression showed a nonsignificant trend towards better DFS among patients with p53 wild-type tumors.

Results The mean thyroid volume followed a decreasing trend after radiotherapy, reaching a minimum (-39.8%) at 30 months and slightly increased afterward.

This timing may be significant because the mouse hemochorial placenta only begins to develop after embryonic day 8.5 and only approaches structural maturity by day 10.5 [ 52 ].

All ZmGPDH proteins contain the specific and/or necessary protein domains (NAD - Gly3P - dh - N, NAD - Gly3P - dh - C, DAO, DAO_C), which may be significant for functional conservation.

The instruments are highly significant in the first stage regression (J statistics between 13.2 and 22.2 corresponding to p-values of zero for the instruments’ joint significance in the first stage regressions); over-identification tests fail to reject the validity of our instruments and Wald test of exogeneity fail to reject the exogeneity of the popularity of smokers and non-smokers’ suggesting that a single equation probit model may be more appropriate (we can reject exogeneity at the 10% level in one regression, having ever smoked regularly by 2009; yet, results still hold).

Utilization of the partograph was marginally significant among obstetric caregivers who had good knowledge about it.

Genetic origins had no significant effect on Wr in piscivorous populations, although there was a positive trend of an effect toward local fish having the highest condition index values.

We find that while the model more precisely estimates the effect of income, the predictive capacity of our four variables of interest, as well as of the model in its entirety, appears to be lower compared to the one-year model predicting behavioral trust (column 2), however, differently from model 2, we find that the income estimate is marginally significant.

In the patients, the highly significant improvement of the STs at all levels of difficulty took place mainly in the first 4 weeks of the training (Level of difficulty 1 and 2).

Surprisingly, there was no GAD67 decrease in hippocampal NPY+ cells in NPYGAD1-TG sections ( Fig 7B ; hippocampus, NPYGAD1-WT n = 7; NPYGAD1-TG n = 8 slices from 3 mice F(1,14) = 0.836; p = 0.377), although there was a slight trend.

reported that there was a decreasing trend of a positive rate of sputum smear in the MDR-TB patients receiving continuous daily rhuIL-2 therapy [ 18 ].

[ 17 ], showed a trend towards a lower incidence of active CMV infection in the TT genotype stem cell donors (even not statistically significant).

We also tested for a correlative relationship between abundance of Δ9-THC in leaves and flowers and detected a slight trend between Δ9-THC content in leaf and only the flowers from the upper portions of the plant however there was insufficient statistical support for this relationship ( S1 Fig ).

Indeed, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was highly significant for mediators that weighted PCA1 (MCP1, IP10, and IL-15): MCP1 versus IP10 (r = 0.642, p = < 0.0001), MCP1 versus IL-15 (r = 0.669, p = < 0.0001), and IP10 versus IL-15 (r = 0.907, p = < 0.0001).

The association of TP53 status and clinicopathological parameters revealed a marginal trend between the presence of TP53 mutation and older age.

Pairwise comparisons showed a trend towards a healthier implicit food preference for the combined serious gaming and verbal suggestions condition compared to gaming control, F (1, 53) = 6.383, adjusted p = .090, η 2 = .14.

Mammogram history suggested borderline significant increased risk in pre-menopausal women and no association in post-menopausal women.

Sex-based differences in performance over time will be an important trend to monitor.

At days 21 and 28 after induction, we observed that the tumor growth compressed the contralateral brain tissue, and the bilateral behavior changes were more evident than a slight trend of unilateral spatial changes of gait assessment owing to bilateral hemisphere involvement.

This ostensible difference (pertaining to ASX-1), and another marginally significant difference (pertaining to FA8/AS) occurred on entries on which very few eggs were oviposited.

As expected, the number of activated HSCs had an increasing trend with the progression of fibrosis ( S2 Table ).

In California, climate change projections suggest an overall trend toward increasing temperatures, particularly in the summer months, declines in precipitation, and elevated drought risk [ 37 – 39 ].

Unlike results from the single vaccination trial, we observed, not only highly significant reduction in foaling proportions between treated and control mares following reimmunization but also a remarkably effective contraceptive response.

Statistical analysis of the length and width of the foxtail and common millet seeds from six sites revealed an increasing trend from the early to the late period ( Fig 5 ).

Statistical significance was expressed with the following symbols: (*), (**) and (***), to indicate that differences between groups were statistically significant, highly significant or extremely significant, respectively.
