“a slight trend”

There was a slight trend towards more INT/IINHT if only a cervical non-balloon-guide catheter was used instead of a balloon-guide catheter and/or a distal access catheter.

In our present study, even though we did not see significant changes in the levels of PAX6 and TGF-β1 mRNA expression in any of the duloxetine-treated groups, there was still a slight trend in PAX6 upregulation and TGF-β1 downregulation after duloxetine treatment in all groups.

The GF-axis values were maintained at ∼11° for both WT and A108G regardless of the protonation state of His161, indicating that the F-form was maintained during the MD simulation, although there was a slight trend from the F-form to the G-form transition ( Figures 5A–C ).

However, a slight trend was observed with the celiac group (red ellipse) leaning toward the left of the graph and the control group toward the right.

A slight trend was observed indicating the mean age of the examined patients slightly increased with each year of measurement (see Figure A3 ).

Elytral color patterns had an effect on neither prevalence nor intensity of infection by Laboulbeniales in our dataset, although we found a slight trend to higher intensity of parasitism in more melanic males.

At the final follow-up, both groups demonstrated a slight trend toward improvement compared with preoperative values, with no significant differences between them.

While there is a slight trend that the P -values are lower for the correct strain, the resolution in separating the two is poor.

Supporting this possibility, differences in tissue Pro were manifested during recovery, when Col-0 sharply reduced the Pro content (half levels at R-6h vs P-24h), while p5cdh did not consume it, and even manifested a slight trend to increase the amino acid level (Figure 3A ).

Taken as a whole, adult weevils feeding on organically raised hosts tend to elicit more upregulated genes in detoxification and host detection, with a slight trend in immune defense, supporting the hypothesis that organically cultivated host plants are associated with more differential gene regulation.

Knocking down Pin1 didn’t have a strong effect on the accumulation of PF11 in dendritic spines, but a slight trend toward larger PF11 clusters was observed (data not shown).

At T2, the improvement in secondary outcome measures was maintained in the HIT group despite a slight trend to baseline values.

Our results indicate that the overall mean C0 component of keratometric astigmatism ranges around 0.20 dpt (95% confidence interval: -1.6 to 2.3 dpt) whereas the C45 component ranges around -0.02 dpt (95% confidence interval: -1.1 to 1.0 dpt) with a slight trend to positive values for OD and negative values for OS.

Moreover, the match between angular-faced individuals and sour food was not significant (there was only a slight trend).

A slight trend of over-prediction of BSV and WSV is also observed. 3.2.

Our study highly indicates that AMAC had a better prognosis than typical ACC; and AMAC might have a slight trend of worse prognosis than ASCC.

A slight trend towards larger contours during treatment was seen with a median (range) relative volume difference between first and subsequent fractions of radiographers’ and clinicians’ contours of 4.2 % (-3.5 % to 17.7 %) and −0.13 % (-16 % to 22.1 %) respectively.

SXT-resistant spectra largely overlapped with susceptible isolates but displayed a slight trend toward divergence (Fig. 3 A).

No significant changes were observed in the placebo group during the trial, even though there was a slight trend of increased values after the 30-day period.

However, currently there is a slight trend that hereditary mutations at the locus impacting on p14ARF are related to the occurrence of neural system tumours in melanoma families [ 88 ].

found no more than a slight trend toward higher methylation levels among individuals who showed minor improvement in MDD symptoms after 12 weeks of antidepressant treatment [ 44 ].

The volumetric effect after benzaldehyde exposure was shown to be persistent for at least 7 days after the exposure ended and it was accompanied by a slight trend toward a decrease in the number of synapses in the affected glomeruli.

In the southern and northern regions, we found a slight trend of increased seroprevalence from the younger to the older age cohorts; in the central-eastern region, this trend was absent.

We compared the groups of patients diagnosed with BM at NSCLC diagnosis, patients who previously received systemic chemotherapy (CT) for their underlying NSCLC disease (labeled “after CT”), and patients who received any combination of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chemotherapeutics prior to their BM diagnosis (labeled “after IT”) and saw a slight trend toward a survival benefit of patients that previously received a combination of CT and ICB [ Figure 2I , median 9.80 ± 1.87 vs. 22.73 ± 7.09 vs. 10.87 ± 2.34 months, respectively, p = 0.285, log-rank (Mantel–Cox) test], which we will follow up in further studies.

Although a slight trend showing increased tau acetylation was observed during the first hour of PA exposure (Fig. 7 a), this effect was statistically significant at 24 h, when it was than twofold higher than that of the control (Fig. 7 b).
