“a slight trend”

However, a slight trend towards better survival seems to be seen in elective patients.

It is clear that the permittivity of all nanocomposite films shows a slight trend of depression as the frequency increases, which is caused by a polarization relaxation process [ 29 ].

Looking across categorisations of statements and how they were placed in each group, there was a slight trend in more social sustainability statements being placed in similar columns than statements to do with economic sustainability, and the similar for statements framing seafood as a common good compared to other framings.

There was a slight trend of increase in the proportion of men as BMI value increases.

In fact, the plot at each PDL showed a slight trend in the negative direction on PC1 with increasing PDL, especially in TIG-3S.

The polarization dependence of the spCARS signals was studied when the polarization of the analyzer was parallel to the pump and Stokes beams (which are parallel to each other) because the results when the polarization of the analyzer was perpendicular to the beams were not significantly different, except for a slight trend in the absolute spCARS intensity.

There was a slight trend toward lower IRS-2–dependent PI3K activity in male Ldlr –/– Acod1 –/– mice.

Similar to the findings for FBN-1::sfGFP, however, we failed to detect substantial differences between wild-type, sym-3 , sym-4 , and sym-3 sym-4 embryos, although apical anterior traces of NOAH-1::mCherry suggested a slight trend toward increased variability in the mutants (∼1.1- to 1.2-fold; Fig. 3 C,D).

In addition, Kaplan-Meier analyses of Sparc mRNA levels also showed a slight trend towards a prolonged survival time for patients having a higher Sparc mRNA expression but this effect was only visible after 200 days of the survival period (Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon Test, p = 0.1974, hazard ratio: 1.416).

Daridorexant, however, was unable to reduce ultrasound-induced defensive behavior in this model; only the highest tested dose of 100 mg/kg showed a slight trend towards delaying the defensive flight reaction.

There was a slight trend indicating a shorter wake time after sleep onset in the L-theanine group.

In our study, the mean ADC value showed a slight trend of reduction from head to tail (head 1.146 × 10 –3 mm 2 /s, body 1.129 × 10 –3 mm 2 /s, and tail 1.108 × 10 –3 mm 2 /s) due to the heterogeneity of pancreatic tissue composition, and this is consistent with the prior report ( Schoennagel et al., 2011 ).

In line with these findings, there was a slight trend toward longer disease duration in SPG7 versus non- SPG7 variant carriers (Supplementary Table 3), suggesting that ALS patients with rare SPG7 variants may have a somewhat better prognosis than non-carriers.

Results of our analysis demonstrated that there is a slight trend for lower CL/F when CL CR is reduced in renally impaired subjects or when the Child–Pugh score is increased in hepatically impaired subjects.

However, a slight trend is observed with greater positive bias associated with higher p K a values, and vice versa, more negative bias is associated with lower p K a values.

quadriceps ) showed only a slight trend towards denervation at the higher age compared to the earlier time point ( Fig. 2E and F ), while a significant increase in partially or fully denervated motor endplates was found in distal muscles ( m. lumbricalis ) in old mice compared to young animals ( Fig. 2G and H ) consistent with age-related NMJ defects observed by a previous study ( Valdez et al. , 2012 ).

However, later LSN 2105786 treatment from 48–72 hpf, showed only a slight trend towards rescue ( Fig 7E–7J ; Fig 7M ).

The infants with PS showed a slight trend for decreased straightness ratio in the involved side from 2 to 6 months, with some variability.

To date, there is a slight trend to improved survival in the patients who received leucovorin plus fluorouracil, but it is unlikely that this trend will ever reach statistical signficance in this small study.

Nevertheless, a slight trend in pNPHS1 expression in the repaired line could be observed ( Fig.

There was a slight trend for the parenchymal volume in control mice to increase over time, and this was similar in the bleomycin treated mice.

Conversely, the lower occurrence of such paroxysmal EEG patterns in the CMV-seropositive cohort, alongside the lack of differences in the SCoRS global rating or total score, might tentatively reflect a subtle, chronic viral-induced exhaustion of these plastic compensatory mechanisms—a pattern potentially consistent with frontally mediated network mechanisms [ 62 , 63 ] that manifests nominally as a slight trend toward disorganization.

GMC lifetimes range from 10–30 Myr and exhibit a slight trend of lifetimes increasing with galaxy mass.

Overall, there is relatively little change in HHI overtime in developed countries; though there is a slight trend toward less concentration.

The derived alleles based on sequence alignments and θ 2 showed substantial trends in GC-biased gene conversion; whereas the derived alleles based on θ 1 showed only a slight trend.
