Generally it was expected that nitrite ion would keep assisting the growth of passive layer and IE would maintain an increasing trend till 24 h.

At 4 and 12 months, the dual bronchodilator group showed a trend towards less lung function decline compared with the two other groups ( P for trend < 0.001) (Table 3 ).

There was a clear trend in IOP recovery to near baseline levels after adhesive application, however variation was high after wound closure, indicating high variability in the application of the adhesive to the eye.

An increasing trend in mortality proportion was observed with higher age groups in COVID-19 patients with CVD, malignancy, and one comorbidity whereas a decreasing trend in mortality proportion was noticed in CKD patients (Table 2 ).

Preliminary evidence showed a trend towards the slower spread of COVID-19 in countries where the national Bacillus Calmette–Guérin vaccine policy is current for all 48 .

An overall trend is apparent that, in most cases, the fewer linear programs for the group implementation took longer than the linear programs for individual linear programs in the sequential approach (Fig. 4 a).

γ, a main effect in the regression model) showed marginally significant differences.

Association between the change in 2-AG level and reduction of depressive and anxious symptoms immediately following completion of a 2-week long rTMS intervention schedule showed a strong trend, and 2 weeks after completion of the rTMS sessions there was a significant association between 2-AG level changes and decreased depression, anxiety, and anhedonia symptoms as well as neurocognitive symptoms as reflected by the number of errors in the SCWT-CW task.

1 B; p = 0.003), and high EFNA5 also showed a trend to shorter time to recurrence/PFS (Fig. 1 C).

Although not quite significant, a greater percentage of ramp reared birds moved straight down the ramp compared to the controls, which tended to zig zag at 17 weeks and wing-flapped significantly more.

Chicks reared without ramps showed a trend towards more crouching before transitioning up and more wing-flapping behaviour than those reared with ramps.

The number of birds that transitioned in a straight line down the ramp appeared to be approaching significance, more RR birds compared to the CR birds went straight down a ramp.

A positive trend is found in the first part of the curve (1987–2001, 2.3 × 10 –4 m 2 /s 2 per year, green line in figure), followed by a central decade without statistically significant changes (2001–2010, blue line), and a steep negative trend afterward (2010–2017, – 4.1 10 –4 m 2 /s 2 per year, red line).

Overall, the highest level of resuscitation was significantly associated with sepsis (P < 0.0001) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (P = 0.0019); however, the aOR among each level of resuscitation compared to epinephrine use showed a partially significant association.

In addition to the willingness of the inhabitants, these settlements were identified for unique vernacular architecture (Table 1 ) and an evident trend of modern transitions.

After treatment, SOD activity showed a trend to recover (DP = 8.20 ± 0.14 USOD/mg), as shown in Fig. 8 a.

Despite the only 1.3 fold increase in SLC7A5/LAT1 level, the results as indicated by the adjusted_ P value is highly significant.

Thus, it is highly significant to develop new tumor-specific targeted therapy to improve the clinical outcomes in GBM patients with less side effects due to non-specific targeting.

GO enrichment analysis of the list of nonlinear probes returned 1 significant biological process in females (leukocyte apoptotic process), which was marginally significant in males.

However in all groups, there was a clear trend towards a reduction in the likelihood of pre-eclampsia in women randomised to metformin compared to any other treatment.

We found no significant differences in expressions of the hypertension-associated genes between the pre-HCT and post HCT groups, with only a few genes showing near-significant differences and no consistent pattern (including NR3C2 gene with higher expression in the pre-HCT group and PIK3CG with higher expression in the post-HCT group, both differences non-significant).

We identified a significant trend of increasing cilium length with decreasing cell area, which is consistent with previous findings in retinal epithelial cells, where cells cultured on smaller micropatterns had an elongated primary cilium 53 , 69 .

Although the average annual density in our study sites over the five consecutive seasons showed a slightly increasing trend (Fig. 2 ), we have not observed lynx expansion westwards into other surrounding areas within the lynx historical range 91 .

During the study period, SHDI showed a decreasing trend as the buffer distance increased.

From 1986 to 2017, the ESI showed a trend of N, which indicated that the spatial structure of the landscape was more stable and ecological security was more reasonable due to the implementation of policies such as the return of farmland to forest and designation of red lines for ecological protection.
