“a decreasing trend”

After birth, we observed a decreasing trend of this value up to 240 days, then a peak around 270–300 days of life, a short deflection and a slow increase in the next months.

There is a decreasing trend in blood pressures in all the three groups during the intraoperative period [ Figure 5 ].

We also found in our study a decreasing trend in the number of cases presenting at our hospital with more than two-thirds of the cases diagnosed during the first half of the study period.

Another study[ 7 ] comparing elective care in the ICU, post anesthesia care unit (PACU), or dedicated intermediate care/step down unit (SDU) among cardiac and pulmonary patients showed a decreasing trend in total morbidity, but no change in mortality rate; however, the overall hospital costs were markedly increased with the daily cost being highest during the first 3 days in the ICU.

But in general, the range of pavement type influencing the temperature field under permafrost embankment presents a decreasing trend with the increment of the embankment height.

TNF- α expression levels showed a decreasing trend though not significant at day 1 after implantation becoming significant at day 5.

NAPL3 Inflammasome Levels Followed a Temperature Dependent Trend after Inflammatory Stimulus In any treatment condition, levels of NALP3 showed a decreasing trend as the temperature grew.

Changes in total triglycerides, cholesterol, and LDL levels showed a decreasing trend but were not statistically significant ( Table 2 ).

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.

After that, the efficiency showed a decreasing trend with the increase of N/P ratio.

Of note, IL27RA expression showed a decreasing trend over time, but this observation did not reach a significant level ( Table 2 ).

Additionally, a decreasing trend was also found in whole-brain WM FA with increasing CP severity (data not shown), as it has already been reported in previous studies ( Lee et al., 2011; Rai et al., 2013 ).

In the last decade, sardine catches in the eastern Mediterranean exhibit a decreasing trend and the stock has been recognized as fully exploited [ 4 ].

SBo induced a decreasing trend in serum total, intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and subfractions of IDL and LDL in group B.

The intensity of admission screening was associated with a decreasing trend in monthly MRSA isolation rate from clinical cultures (aIRR 0.91/month with 100% compliance with screening, 95% CI 0.85 to 0.98).

In such a favourable situation, the officially reported data on maternal mortality (28/100.000) and infant mortality (34/1000) [ 7 , 8 ] which are believed to underestimate reality [ 9 ] although showing a decreasing trend, are unacceptably high.

This inflammatory pathology peaked at day 21 post-infection and showed a decreasing trend by day 28 and 35 post-infection.

Lowest concentrations of chlorophyll were recorded at 2000mg/L Pb and 5mM EDTA and exhibited a decreasing trend specifically in the ranges of 1000 and 2000mg/L Pb and 1.0 and 5.0mM EDTA.

Although a decreasing trend was observed during the washout period for all SCFA, the higher concentrations persisted for at least 2 weeks after treatment ceased.

A decreasing trend was observed in patient proportions that achieved the endpoints of CR (58%), CP (42%) and CC (27%).

In the case of proliferative responses to H1N1 peptide 2, a decreasing trend was observed in CD4 + T cell proliferation, although this was not significant (p = 0.45) (Figure 3 ).

In general, the monthly number of pads impacted had a decreasing trend, with greater magnitude in August, followed by June and July.

The discharge coefficient as a function of injection pressure and temperature is shown in Figure 3(a) , where a decreasing trend was observed in the discharge coefficient with an injection pressure for all tested nozzles.
