“a slight trend”

Yet, long-term survival rates are comparable to open surgery, with a slight trend towards higher perioperative mortality in open surgery.

There was a slight trend of increasing solubility with increasing emulsification time, but the effect was not as strong as the effect of co-surfactant percentage.

Although there was a slight trend towards a higher proportion of individuals colonized with Blastocystis sp. in the symptomatic group compared to the asymptomatic category (76.4% versus 71.1%), this association was not statistically significant (Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.149).

However, the expected increase in penetration efficacy for lower, finite doses was only seen as a slight trend, but was not significant.

Hamster temperature was monitored following infection or rechallenge with VIC01 or BA.1,Single infection ( a ) animals experienced a slight trend for temperature decrease following challenge.

Yet, we observed a slight trend of decreasing BMI coefficients with decreasing BMI category.

This revealed no significant changes in S/G2/M phase or total cell cycle and only a slight trend towards an increased G1 phase length following FoxO3 knockdown ( Figure 3 G).

In the stimulation with plasmas containing Lp(a) we observed a slight trend towards increased expression of IL-8 but note the variability in the response to different plasmas, that may have obscured an increase.

In X = 9 series, a slight trend emerged (PN 9 > i-PVA_9 > i-PVP_9), in line with the faster dye uptake measured for PN systems.

However, a slight trend towards increasing proportion in foreign bodies can be observed (2020: 3.3%; 2021: 3.5%; 2022: 5.8%).

A slight trend of positive correlation between signal intensity change on T2WI-MRI and high pre-operative Nurick grade could be observed, although it was not statistically significant.

However, the age did not play a significant role in the activity of the transgenic URR in mice, though a slight trend to an upregulation of URR11-positive hair follicles with an age between 6 and 18 months of the animals was observed (data not shown in detail).

Vice versa, in the right hemisphere, a slight trend of increasing desynchronization from C to CP to P and finally to O appeared in both the time windows ( Figure 5 ).

The proposed model was subsequently used to estimate HCT values on the test set showing a good agreement between the estimated HCT and the HCT measured by the reference method (r = 0.87, p < 0.001), with a low mean difference of 0.53 ± 5.04% and a slight trend of overestimation for higher hematocrit values.

Secondary Outcomes No significant correlations between the BI at discharge and demographic, biological and ICU-specific data were found ( Table 3 ) except for a slight trend between the SOFA score at ICU admission and acute BI (r 2 = 0.2).

The reading time with and without CADe was 153.8 ± 126.2 s and 147.0 ± 99.6 s, respectively, showing a slight trend toward longer reading times with CADe.

During the study period, we observed a slight trend of increasing technical or university education, but a stagnation between 2016 and 2020, similar to what was reported in another study in Peru in 2019 [ 31 ].

Other groups exposed to noise, either conspecific masking signals or interspecific signals, showed a slight trend of increasing proportion of non-searching movements with increasing masking.

Evaluation of RNA expression changes in the striatum in FXS mice revealed a slight trend toward the same pattern observed in ribosome association in dSPNs ( Figure S4C ).

Conclusion While the majority of laboratory mice are still housed in standard cages for testing in external apparatuses, a slight trend in the literature striving toward more naturalistic settings becomes apparent ( Vyssotski et al., 2002 ; Hess et al., 2008 ; Lewejohann et al., 2009 ; Mieske et al., 2021 ).

We observed a slight trend toward shorter telomeres at the apex of Pocillopora spp. branches.

Regarding PA, as in previous studies [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], at the end of the intervention, there were no differences in PA levels between the groups, although both showed a slight trend towards improvement; this was in line with the improvement trends found in both groups in terms of motivation towards PA (external motivation and amotivation).

3 A–F) in this cohort of rhesus macaques with drusen, although there was a slight trend toward thicker choroid among eyes with more drusen.

A slight trend towards an AS01 dose-response was also observed at these timepoints.

There was a slight trend toward higher white blood cell counts in NHPs following EBOV challenge ( Fig. 4A and B ), particularly in animals that succumbed to infection.
