“a decreasing trend”

Sex of the deceased was well documented in the CRS and showed improvement over time but showed a decreasing trend in quality in 2015.

In the non-surgical group, the total QOL score showed a decreasing trend over time, reaching the lowest point at 9 months of follow-up, suggesting that non-surgical treatment does not improve QOL in these patients.

veronii complex showed a decreasing trend of resistance to a majority of these tested antibiotics and a significant declination to ceftazidime from 19.4% to 6.8% during the same timeframe ( X 2 = 6.02, df = 1, p = 0.01, Figure 2C ).

When the NS treatment was combined with the WM and WM rotation treatments, the SOC concentration in the topsoil (0–10 cm and 11–40 cm) had a decreasing trend after two years of planting, but when the NS treatment was combined with the WF rotation treatment, the SOC concentration in the topsoil had an increasing trend.

The Fisher exact test showed that there was no significant difference in the mortalities of the patients in the two groups, but we observed a decreasing trend in mortality after the surgeries that involved intraoperative rscO 2 monitoring.

The LVEF values showed a decreasing trend in 2DE, 3DSTI, and MRI groups.

The UF(k) showed a decreasing trend during 1982–1988, and an increasing trend from 1989 to 1991, and then a downward trend during 1992–1997, and an increasing trend after 1998.

Of the glycosphingolipids (CerG1) that were annotated, one trended toward an increase in response to stress while two showed a decreasing trend.

Therefore, the peak cutting force shows a decreasing trend.

In line with previous studies, the benchmarking data shows a decreasing trend in the proportion of women at higher career levels, broadly consistent across countries and disciplines (electronic supplementary material, figure S1).

Even the resistant cells showed a decreasing trend but the cells were significantly more viable than the parental MCF-7 cells at all the three doses – 2 μM, 5 μM and 10 μM.

Of the remaining three, Hap-4A-19-CA showed an increase while Hap-6A-13-TG and Hap-7A-15-CG showed a decreasing trend in frequency.

The residual trend analysis showed that human activities primarily stimulated the growth of grasslands and shrublands, while croplands displayed a decreasing trend due to human disturbances, implying that anthropogenic factors may lead to croplands abandonment in favor of grasslands restoration.

A decreasing trend of syphilis infection was found in both MSM aged < 50 and ≥ 50.

Among grade 6 students there was a decreasing trend in self-reported past 30–day marijuana use from 2004 to 2016, while the percentage of grade 8 students who had used marijuana during the past 30 days did not change during that period.

These are identical until the most recent 3 years when they differ to allow an increasing, a constant and a decreasing trend in incidence (see Fig. 4 a).

In BAT, although adipocyte size was unaffected, there was a decreasing trend of the SA-β-Gal-positive area upon Que treatment (Figs. 1 F and S2B).

A decreasing trend of JH synthesis indicates that the insulin signaling pathway has been inhibited and promotes the activation of FOXO.

When compared with the control groups, TMZ treatment increased the LC3-II turnover in U87 cells but not in U251 cells, while the p62 level showed a decreasing trend in U251 cells (no statistical significance) and no difference in U87 cells (Figures 4(a) and 4(b) ).

Keeping in mind the limited diffusion of antibiotics across disc space, a prolonged antibiotic regimen seems logical. 2 33 34 Many studies have advocated a minimum of 6 weeks of IV therapy, and any duration shorter than that has led to poorer results. 36 Basu et al found a 3-week IV regimen to be effective in the majority of cases; those who failed to respond were operated upon. 5 We started all the patients on a 3-week regimen and administered extended IV doses to those who had suboptimal response (delayed responders) but showed a decreasing trend of biomarkers until the level of CRP reverted to its normal value.

Further, Mann–Kendal test results ( Table 4 ) indicate a decreasing trend in annual rainfall across all meteorological stations.

The incorporation of PLA also leads to a decreasing trend in melting temperature ( T m ) of POM as a function of the PLA content as shown in Figure 1 b, in which a similar descent trend could be observed for the T m of PLA as a function of the POM content.

The intracellular ROS levels of HK-2 cells showed a decreasing trend in the 300, 600, and 1000 μg/mL NAC-treated groups ( Figure 2 B).

Meanwhile, it can be seen that the average diameters of the as-spun fibers showed a decreasing trend with the increase of gelatin content, as shown in Figure 5 .

autotrophica presented a decreasing trend from day 2 to day 7, similar to C. closterium .
