Excerpts

More recently, data have been published, which seem to show a large and highly significant separation between both LCI and functional residual capacity (FRC) measurements performed using the different tracer gases [15] .

Although the 2.4 NTU average daily median in our data sits below that value, the frequent high turbidity events may be significant stressors, particularly when they coincide with high temperatures over summer.

Both the Allele ( multi ) and the Allele ( bi ) strategies detected 2 SNPs that did not reach the Bonferroni-corrected significance level for the Joint strategy but were close to significance.

The use of naturally polled breeds in modern cattle breeding has become an increasing trend, both because mechanical removal of horns and injuries from fights are undesirable and also because easier and safer animal management and cowhide integrity are preferred.

Fearful postures impaired accurate perception of sad faces more than angry postures, they caused the largest increase in response times for both sad and angry faces (although the effect for angry faces was only marginally significant), and they were the only posture to alter the pattern of errors, causing participants to label the associated face as ‘fear’, rather than ‘sad’ or ‘angry’.

The strong correlation between EGFR exon 18 expression and TS12 remained highly significant (Spearman's , ) after restricting the analysis to EGFR wild type patients (see Figure S1 in the supporting information).

Injury index values also showed a decreasing trend throughout most of the treatments, with no trend at treatment 5 where there were almost no injuries observed at any of the days post exposure.

A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant ( * ) and a p-value < 0.005 was considered highly significant ( ** ).

In the latter study [23] , the linear graphical analysis of the net blood-brain transfer rate of FDOPA to brain ( K in app ) revealed no difference from an age-matched control group, but a highly significant negative correlation between estimates of the net transfer rate ( K in app ) in the left ventral striatum and individual ACQ scores.

The mean (± SD) alcohol lifetime alcohol consumption of the patients was 1038±828 kg, and they smoked a mean (± SD) of 17±13 cigarettes per day, yielding a weak trend towards correlation between individual alcohol and cigarette consumption (r = 0.27; n.s.).

In consistent with the above, our results showed that levosimendan pretreatment applied 1 or 24 hours prior to surgery resulted in highly significant improvement in liver microcirculation compared with the corresponding IR groups.

umbra ) show a positive trend, which is limited to PR.

However, in the study of Renström and colleagues (3,885 non-diabetic adults mean aged 52.6 years), only a nominally significant interaction with sex was observed, with the P-value not being robust to multiple statistical comparisons [8] .

Although the pre-HD group showed a trend in the same direction, the difference between pre-HD and symp-HD exhibited only a trend toward significance ( p = .058), and the difference between pre-HD and controls was not significant (see Figure 1 and Table 2 ; see Tables S1 and S2 for a full inventory of longitudinal within- and between-group regression coefficients and their statistical significance).

The difference between symp-HD and pre-HD in the rate of putamen volume loss exhibited a trend toward significance (see Figure 1 ; see Tables S1 and S2 for a full inventory of longitudinal within- and between-group regression coefficients and their statistical significance).

Quantification of chemotaxis after 20 hours revealed a highly significant increase of transmigrated RAW264.7 cells toward excess NaCl as compared to unstimulated control cells ( Fig. 1a ).

This is revealed by the highly significant pairwise correlation among these signaling components plotted by the Correlogram ( Figures 4 , 5 , 6 ) with pair-wise correlations in all three racial groups.

Higher age, poor adherence and type of TB (smear 3+, smear-negative, or EPTB) are significantly associated with mortality among TB patients, and HIV infection has a near-significant effect.

The antidromic blockade is preferential because the pulses more rapidly clear fast axons, and the distribution of axonal diameters, and therefore velocities, in the involved tracts, is sufficiently long-tailed to make this effect quite significant.

When this study was deleted, there was no evidence of publication bias for −607 C>A (p = 0.103, Figure 4 .B), while the pooled OR was marginally significant (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.30).

After 31 days of incubation we observe a decreasing trend in the ThT intensity (HEWL-ribose solutions) up to ~180 days which then becomes similar to that in the presence of fructose.

Although levels of isolation were higher among larger populations, reproductive isolation was also highly significant among promiscuous populations of similar sizes to those maintained in our study.

It has recently been shown that there are highly significant associations for common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the CDKN2B-AS1 gene region at the 9p21 locus with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), a leading cause of irreversible blindness.

The association with lung cancer risk was only marginally significant (OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.71-1.00).

Although TOX3 falls out of the minimum LOH region, in view of the highly significant association of rs3803662 with breast cancer risk, we hypothesised TOX3 to be a likely candidate tumour-suppressor gene present on the 16q arm.
