Excerpts

The use of a combined general and spinal anesthesia as well as using a combination of general and peripheral anesthesia in knee arthroplasty was associated with a highly significant advantage to other anesthetic techniques regarding perioperative pain management in daily clinical practice, but maybe below clinical relevance.

Comparison of the results shown in Figs 3 and 5 yields an interesting trend.

The use of this proxy is corroborated by the observation that from 2010 to 2013, the number of surf licensees followed a decreasing trend (−72%), similar to the ICS trend detected throughout the aircraft-based survey (−75%).

Genomic amplifications of 11q13 ( CCND1 ) showed borderline significance, were associated with the Urothelial-like subtypes (seen in 16%), were almost absent in GU (<2%) (Fig. 3D ), and showed a strong association with CCND1 expression (Supplementary Fig.

4 , a significant main effect of flanker location brightness was established around the 250 ms mark (with marginal significance showing as early as 200 ms after stimulus onset).

If a clear trend can be observed with high interstitial loading rate at all these temperatures within ns timescale, it is highly likely to happen under a much lower interstitial flux in experiments.

Another major component of cell wall polysaccharides was found to be β-(1,3;1,4) mixed-linkage glucan (MLG), which exhibited an increasing trend from apex to base and the highest content was observed in the basal section (Table 2 ).

With maturation extent from apical to basal regions in MBS, lignin and cellulose content increased, whereas heteroxylan exhibited a decreasing trend.

For the thrust forces generated at depth of cut 2 μm–4 μm, the thrust forces firstly decreased and following with an increasing trend, the sharp lowest points were observed at the transition points.

25 , 30 showed an increasing trend of spatial variability of rainfall extremes in India that highlight the possible impacts of local processes, such as urbanization.

Although T-DM1 treatment did not result in significant improvement of PFS, subgroup analyses showed a numerical trend of an increasing beneficial effect of T-DM1 in patients who had received HER-2-directed therapy or taxanes during early treatment 10 .

1d ), but showed a decreasing trend with maturity in both lines.

The qRT-PCR data of miRNAs matched the expression profiles obtained by sRNA sequencing of the G, G/Y, Y/O and O/R libraries, and the qRT-PCR data of the corresponding target gene showed a trend opposite to that of miRNA expression (Fig. 6 ).

Interestingly, a decreasing trend was seen in blood samples with only one sample showing positive detection at 6 days post illness onset (Fig. 1C ).

Indeed, the presence of CBZ pre-treated OBLs seemed to lead to an increasing trend of U-2 OS cells growth that did not reach statistical significance.

In addition, although not statistically significant, most patients with the apical form showed a trend towards higher SSS, SRS, SDS, phase standard deviation (SD) and phase histogram bandwidth, as well as lower LVEF, ∆LVEF, resting phase histogram skewness and kurtosis.

Comparison of Sample Sizes Among all species, sub-sampling of active and passive camera trap detections revealed an overall trend of decreasing Δ and increasing error as the sub-sample size decreased (Fig. 6 ).

A decreasing trend of 7 Be/ 210 Pb ex values from G1 to G2.

H&E staining showed a trend towards increased perivascular recruitment of immune cells in wild-type mice close to large airways at exacerbation compared to both HDM:saline and saline:dsRNA challenged wild-type mice (Fig. 3E,F ).

Plankton biomass partitioning Total plankton biomass (from pico to micro size) showed a decreasing trend from the surface (on average 29.3 μgC L −1 ) to the deepest water masses (0.3 μgC L −1 ; Fig. 3A , Supplementary Table S2 ).

All patient groups were matched for global cognitive impairment by their CAMCOG and MMSE scores, although the AD group showed a trend of lower cognitive impairment compared with the other dementia groups.

The B6 mice in Group 1 had no significant IOP changes between time points, yet showed a trend of slight IOP increase in the older individuals, consistent with normal age-related changes reported in a previous study 22 .

Carotenoid content of the stressed plants showed a decreasing trend with a greater reduction in content under SS than MS (Fig. 6C,D ).

These increases in rainfall, soil moisture, and vegetation together lead to a substantial reduction of the dust abundance in this region, especially the Thar Desert, as shown by a negative trend in satellite-retrieved aerosol optical depth.

In both cases, a strong trend is noticed for region A, which is the least for region B (check the scaling of the y axis).
