“a decreasing trend”

INTRODUCTION Several studies in developed countries have reported a decreasing trend in hip fracture incidence ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ).

Figure 2 , e.g., would give a decreasing trend if only the period 1890–1950 were considered, but an increasing trend for the period 1950–2013.

The total activity, calculated by the number of total arm entries in the Y-maze test, was not significantly changed among the eight groups despite a decreasing trend in the aged groups, indicating that exploratory activity was not remarkably affected by genotype and aging [ Figure 3a ].

In general, the mean number of hospitalizations showed a decreasing trend over the 5-year study period.

During population decline was classified as data collected during a decreasing trend but before lowest abundance levels were reached.

IAA content showed a decreasing trend at these DADS concentrations (Figure 5 ).

Western blot analysis showed that SQSTM1/p62 expression exhibited a decreasing trend in both a time- and dose-dependent manner ( Figures 3b and c ), suggesting that IFN- γ triggers a complete autophagic flux in BMECs.

It is interesting to see that the destruction rates peak at seawall heights of 5 meters, afterwhich there is a decreasing trend suggesting that seawalls higher than 5 meters have been effective in reducing building damage.

After the age of 60, this increasing trend turns to a decreasing trend [ 16 ].

Although studies of data reported by states to the US Department of Transportation appear to show a decreasing trend in licensing rates among teen-agers (Sivak and Schoettle 2012a ), those data have been shown to contain substantial errors and thus are unusable for monitoring trends (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety 2006 ).

This rate was found to increase from CKD stage 1 to CKD stage 3 which then demonstrated a decreasing trend till stage 5: 10.7% in stage 1, 13.3% in stage 2, 17.1% in stage 3, 8.8% in stage 4, and 5.6% in stage 5 (Table 3 ). 3.5.1 EPO treatment Of the 1246 patients with anemia, 496 (39.8%) received EPO treatment (493 received EPO-α).

Our date were consistent with Huang Yong's opinion: there was a decreasing trend from HCC, atypical hyperplasia to chronic hepatitis B infection for the density of IL-17+ T cells. 19 The probable reason for this disagreement in each paper was the different define of nontumor regions or peritumor and background disease, such as different kinds of hepatitis virus infection or not.

Furthermore, the patients with LGIB showed a significantly increasing trend of hospitalization due to lower-gastrointestinal events in comparison to a decreasing trend of hospitalization due to upper-gastrointestinal events in patients with UGIB.

The diffusion coefficient of the lithium salt and lithium polysulfides features a decreasing trend upon the concentration increase, and the average D V,b is the same order of magnitude (3.5 × 10 –10 < ( D V,b ) ave < 6.5 × 10 –10 m 2 /s) for the three solutes ( Figure 2 a).

They reported an increasing trend of BMI during the first sixteen years from 1957 to 1972, but a decreasing trend thereafter of Bangladeshi ever married women aged 15–49 years [ 15 ].

The peak currents centering around 0.7 V were relatively stable for up to 50 voltammetric scans, beyond which a decreasing trend was observed in current.

Similarly, for the proteins exhibiting a decreasing trend, IPA analysis showed these proteins to participate in three networks.

The concept “ X-Ray Computed Tomography ” shows a decreasing trend only for two cancer types, i.e., brain cancer and astrocytomas, but increases in use for 21.3% of cancers (N=19).

Expression of MUC5B mRNA was particularly affected, with increased expression at 4 to 8 hours of LPS treatment followed by a decreasing trend by 24 hours ( Fig. 6 ).

Our findings show that (a) muscle activity was significantly different in the different jump-landing directions, specifically the RF and ST muscle activities before foot contact and VL and RF muscle activities after foot contact, and (b) knee flexion excursion during landing indicate a decreasing trend from forward to lateral jump landing. 5.1.

7 ): (1) For fixed Δ and ρ , there was a decreasing trend in decoding error with increasing T 0 , but the performance was relatively stable; (2) Regardless of T 0 , decoding error decreased with increasing ρ ; (3) For fixed T 0 , there was a decreasing trend in decoding error with increasing Δ.

The mean adherence was lower in Ghana than in Malawi and there was a decreasing trend in acceptability over time in Ghana and an increasing trend in Malawi.

There are 349 non-native per 1000 native population in the Kingdom (making 259 per 1000 persons), as of 2010 showing a decreasing trend compared to 2004 (372 out of Saudi and 271 out of total).

Although the changes in murine muscle layer thickness are not significant, a decreasing trend with age is visible.

The dominant member of Planctomycetales in the 454 sequencing was a ‘ Candidatus Brocadia’ with a decreasing trend from day 154 (24%) to day 189 (14%).
