Excerpts

This implies that this study has a smaller weight in the MA, however, this aspect is compensated to a certain degree by the high effect sizes of the associated variants particularly when considering the traits BFT and CRCL, where highly significant associations were detected.

Phosphorylation level of AMPK showed a trend to be increased by AdipoRon.

The plot shows a weak trend in which linguistic distance increases as chronological distance increases; however, the association is highly heteroscedastic, with higher variance in linguistic distance for lower values of chronological distance.

However, both Mantel test with geographic distances ( r M = 0.473, p = 0.002) and Procrustes test with NMDS ordination with geographic locations ( t = 0.554, p < 0.001) were highly significant, indicating the soil characteristics were spatially autocorrelated.

It was reported to be ineffective for PD fatigue [ 32 , 34 ] with a possible trend towards a larger effect in people with depression, than those not depressed [ 35 ].

Exposure to 3-min PTM and 5-min PTM alone resulted in only a minor decrease of cell viability, which was slightly significant against control (*) for WB-F344 cells but not for WB-ras cells.

A clear example is observed in Sagittaria pygmaea , where there are no trade-offs between sexual and asexual reproduction at high concentrations of nutrients, but when the amount of nutrients is low or moderate they become clearly significant [ 62 ].

In conclusion, we found a marginally significant positive association between sedentary physical activity and IBS, particularly among women and individuals of normal weight.

Moreover, a weak trend was observed toward higher prevalence of IBS with fewer hours spent for physical activity (odds ratio: 0.99) [ 16 ].

Differences among methods were highly significant, and reliability and agreement values were mostly poor to moderate, with few exceptions.

An increasing trend of >160 μg/m 3 class frequency can be observed from the ante-operam period (1.9%) to the in-operam (2.8%) and post-operam (3.7%).

Lower concentration classes (< 40 μg/m 3 ) do not show a clear trend in frequency.

This pattern did not emerge from the Milan data, where a decreasing trend can be seen between the ante-operam and the post-operam periods.

However, reports from previous Iranian [ 6 ] and Nigeria Igbo studies [ 16 ] showed hardly significant difference in AF size between cesarean section and spontaneous vertex delivery group.

All diffusion measurements, aside from the fractional anisotropy, share an increasing trend for mdx 4cv mice.

The RCT in India showed a trend towards increasing CS rate in the CTG group due to foetal distress compared to IA (47% vs 18%) [ 28 ].

Interestingly, T-treatment induced a marginally non-significant deviation of hatchling sex ratio towards females.

Despite these limitations, the effect of lower KP:PE ratios on outreach and clinical service utilisation is strong and highly significant, with important programmatic implications.

After additionally adjusted for all other specific food group diversity scores, the inverse association of the other vegetables diversity with abdominal obesity and general obesity attenuated but remained statistically significant (p-trend = 0.04) for abdominal obesity and became marginally significant for general obesity (p-trend = 0.08).

β-carotene showed highly significant interrelationships with ascorbic acid, TAC (DPPH), TAC (ABTS + ) while, this trait had significant associations with TPC and TFC.

Also [ 17 ] identified, that as lake sturgeon size increased there was a positive trend in mollusc consumption, while dipterans were consumed by lake sturgeon between 250–649 mm.

The use of a preliminary factorial design to elucidate which factors may be significant or not when assayed within the physiological ranges, simplifies the DOE used in the RSM.

Thus, the eight gene panel (CXCL12, CK7, CDH1, CTNNB1, CD44v6, MUC16, TGFBR2 and HIF1A) can be a highly significant predictor of liver metastasis outcome independent of the standard prognostic criteria.

The latter has an increasing trend from 1978 to 2006 and then deceases due to the increase of arable area.

The self-sufficiency ratio (SSR = (FRR+FNR)/U) indicator exhibited a decreasing trend for the ratio of renewable inputs to total inputs.
