Socioeconomic status showed a trend of increasing PAR with decreasing economic status.

Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, compared with CC genotypes, CA had a significantly increased risk of lung cancer (adjusted odds ratios [OR] = 1.31; 95% CI = 1.01–1.68; P = 0.0436), the AA homozygote had a non-significantly increased risk of lung cancer (adjusted OR = 1.90; 95%CI = 0.80–4.53; P = 0.1438) because of its rare frequency, but there was a significant trend for an allele dose effect on risk of lung cancer ( P trend = 0.0158).

For four previously tested restriction fragment length polymorphisms, only one (referred to as ApaI ), tagged by the SNP rs79628898, had a nominally significant p-value in AAs; none of these polymorphisms were associated with CRC in Caucasians.

In each area the difference in Iba1+ cells between WT and Csf1r −/− was highly significant.

Heart rate We found a strong trend towards a significantly reduced heart rate associated with visual presentations of liked brand names (mean = 73.97 bpm, SD = 8.08) compared to disliked brand names (mean = 75.16 bpm, SD = 9.17).

The specifics of the analysis will typically have more relevance when statistical results are nearly significant at the alpha = .05 level.

A point that must be noted here is that the extent of geo-spatial clustering has followed an increasing trend over the three survey rounds.

The marginally significant results did not change our overall perception of the patterns, but it helped us to take in account additional, potentially important factors that would have been ignored by only looking at the significance level of p≤0.05.

Based on the c-scores performance of the individual data types, the DNA methylation signature is the most statistically significant, the microRNA signature is borderline significant among PFS signatures, and microRNA is borderline significant among OS signatures ( Table 2 ).

Although borderline significant, it is noteworthy that both fatty acid metabolism and lipid biosynthetic process functional groups figured among the top categories of over-expressed genes in naked mole-rats.

drakensbergensis Fu's Fs indicated a marginally significant demographic contraction (Fs = 5.15, Prob sim_Fs>obs_Fs = 0.052).

Within the limitations of this particular animal model, the fact that EGFP positive cells were extremely rare at birth may be significant.

From 25 mM onwards, a clear trend indicates that toxicity is higher for the gemini surfactants than for the corresponding single-tailed surfactant.

Because values of synchrony are not completely independent, 95% confidence intervals for each path were estimated by bootstrapping ( n = 10,000) [4] where a proportional overlap of less of 0.5 could be considered significant [39] .

Although a positive trend was observed in ejection fraction and fractional shortening for BIM 28131.

However, the results could be applied to other disciplines and may be significant in the wider preclinical and clinical worlds.

The effect was highly significant in the three animals and was not restricted to epochs during which the two signals have exactly the same frequency.

The favorable genotypes for rs12979860 (CC) and rs8099917 (TT) were associated with spontaneous clearance, although borderline significant.

Nevertheless, a stable national trend and a decreasing trend in the Northwest for NRTI TDR are consistent with observations in other countries that report reductions in TDR prevalence, which may be associated with the broad use of high-potency, first-line ART regimes [1] , [12] , [14] .

The apparent thermodynamic stabilization by these forms is quite significant when compared to other conformational stabilizers (e.g. sucrose) [20] given that the results likely represent a combination of conformational stabilization and association suppression.

Although some may consider the estimated prevalences of SGI1 to be qualitatively similar, the fact that highly significant differences have been demonstrated between the populations is a strong indication that the two populations are not as well-mixed as has been suggested previously [10] , [13] .

At the 20-minute time point, we observed a decreasing trend in respiratory rate between Day 2 and Day 8 ( Figure 1A ).

Moreover, an increasing trend in functional connectivity amongst the anterior cingulate cortex and atlas-defined VOIs such as the retrosplenial cortex, parietal cortex and hippocampus can be observed across Days 2-8 ( Figure 2C ).

Nonetheless, there was a clear trend toward elevated angiogenic gene expression in cells treated with CPX at both mRNA and protein levels.

A decreasing trend in floral and faunal species richness with increasing salinity in inland waters in generally observed (e.g.
