Localization errors and ghost sources of SLF solutions, with or without regularization, do not appear to have a definite trend with source depth – this may be due to border artefacts involved in the SLF iterations which will affect most seriously the surface sources possibly resulting in elevated artefactual errors for the surface sources.
Continued studies on a larger series of cases bear promise of a definite trend in the differential count. .
Conclusion We report a detectable change in biomarkers as early as 24–48 hours after the first chemotherapy along with a definite trend in change that can possibly be used to predict response to chemotherapy in an individual patient.

There was a definite trend for target values for sediments to be exceeded, while intervention values were only exceeded for cadmium.
However, and some exceptions aside, a definite trend is evident with increasing exposure that reflects reduced birth weight in the offspring [ 62 - 64 ], fewer offspring [ 64 , 65 ], and an increased number of malformations [ 64 , 66 ], including dysmorphic craniofacial features and behavioral or cognitive effects [ 67 - 70 ].
Keywords: Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery, Micro-Coaxial Phacoemulsification status released display-pdf no is-olf no is-manuscript no is-preprint no is-journal-matter no is-scanned no is-retracted no INTRODUCTION There is a definite trend nowadays towards the reduction and even elimination of the corneal consequences of cataract surgery through reducing the incision size not only to decrease the incidence of wound leak and postoperative infection, 1 , 2 but also aiming to gain all the corneal optical advantages of small incision size cataract surgery to better preserve corneal optical performance.
No significant changes in IL-1β concentration were observed in the hippocampus though a definite trend was observed, with an approximate 3-fold increase over vehicle control values.
Two patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (6%) developed hypertriglyceridaemia and there was also a definite trend towards moderately raised TGs in the diabetic group; 14 (47%) were shown to have TG levels above the upper limit of the normal range (>2.1 mmol l −1 ).
Although the analyses showed a definite trend toward favoring the use of cryoablation than the microwave ablation in terms of freedom from AF, the results were statistically marginal.
Nowdays, there is a definite trend toward increased use of primary repair in management of all penetrating colon injuries, independently of their localisation [ 17 ].
4 Since the 1990s, a definite trend toward laparoscopic hysterectomy has been seen.
1 , 2 Since the first reported laparoscopic-assisted hysterectomies in the late 1980s to early 1990s, 3 , 4 a definite trend toward the laparoscopic route for hysterectomy has been observed. 1 An increase from 0.3% to 9.9% of all hysterectomies has been observed over a 7-year period in the United States. 1 Despite the laparoscopic benefits, hysterectomy via laparotomy remains the most common route. 1 One of the reasons f
BMI did not show a definite trend for the risk of lateral compartment knee OA.
A definite trend could be seen from stage I to stage IV disease, and CA125 and HE4 performed significantly worse when early and late stages of disease were compared.
Nearly every MRI joint characteristic was found in the three subgroups, but there was a definite trend for findings to point in the direction of either IA or JIA, also in accordance with previous studies.
In our study, although there was a definite trend towards better survival in patients who underwent D2 dissection and in patients in whom >15 nodes were examined, we were not able to demonstrate a statistically significant association between these factors and patient survival.
A definite trend of increase in the prevalence of psychiatric disorders with increasing age was noted, although this was not statistically significant (chi-square [65–74 years; 75–84 years; ≥85 years] 0.99, df 2, P =0.6082; not significant).
At Kalambo Falls, there seems to be a definite trend through time but with the Sangoan being more of a distinct entity, perhaps relating to a more forested, interglacial period.
Development of PCR Case Confirmation Rates from 2007 through 2010 The PCR case confirmation rate increased with a definite trend from 42.9% (36/84) to 69.2% (36/52) (coefficient of determination, R 2 = 1) from the first through the third observation period ( figure 2 ).

A definite trend is apparent, favoring the reconstruction of vlio over vttu when bilabials are presented to the AMM and vice-versa; the trend is numerically confirmed by checking the Pearson correlation coefficient between AMM-reconstructed and real MIs according to whether labials (/b/,/p/) or dentals (/d/,/t/) are presented as input to the AMM.
