made a retrospective investigation to the feasibility of using MRI and 18 F-FDG-PET/CT in N staging and found that no significant difference was found between MRI and 18 F-FDG-PET/CT for the BLCA N staging but a slight trend of advantage of 18 F-FDG-PET/CT compared with MRI alone, which also indicated the value of the addition of PET information for the enhanced efficacy of N staging in BLCA.
Meta-analysis of vitamin C studies found no significant difference in C-reactive protein concentrations (−0.50; 95% CI: −3.63, 2.63; I 2 = 0%), intensive care unit stay duration (pooled mean difference: 1.44; 95% CI: 0.07, 2.81; I 2 = 0%), or mortality (pooled odds ratio: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.28, 1.09; I 2 = 0%), with a slight trend favoring reduced hospitalization duration (pooled mean difference: −2.37; 95% CI: −2.99, −1.76; I 2 = 49%).
Despite a slight trend towards increased transduction efficiency in CB‐ compared to PB‐derived NK cells, on a per cell basis, PB‐derived anti‐CD19 CAR‐NK cells were more potent at killing CD19 + Nalm6 cells after 14 days of culture.
Proteins associated with processes related to rapid growth, such as genetic information processing, metabolism, and cellular processes, show a slight trend towards higher abundance in synSC1.0 (Fig.
other non-exercise-based interventions), there is a slight trend in favor of education, although it is not significant.
A slight trend in the glassy modulus ( i.e. , the plateau value of storage modulus, G ′, at higher frequencies) was noticed whereby the modulus increased with increasing numbers of methoxy groups.
Belgium experiences the smallest change in crude mortality during the 20-year period, with a slight trend to lower crude mortality over time.
In alignment with our flow cytometry analysis ( Figure 5 D), no pronounced changes in normalized protein abundances were detected for markers of oligodendrocyte maturation or myelination ( Figure 5 F, top), but in half of the ABEmax-treated mice (n = 3) we observed a slight trend for increased abundance of various markers for astrocyte maturation (subset 1 in Figure 5 F).
The analysis that we conducted on 1.178 patients showed a slight trend of more diagnoses and the greater efficacy of a single pass in patients who underwent contrast-guided pancreatic sampling, although this finding did not reach statistical significance.
When the analysis was performed separately in the two periods of time (2005–2014 and 2015–2023), early mortality showed a slight trend to decrease over time in both cohorts, without statistical significance.
There was also a 22% reduction in median serum IL-6 and a slight trend towards a decrease in hs-CRP.
There was a slight trend toward downregulation of these genes at 24 h, but no statistically significant differences, suggesting no widespread changes in cell viability.
[18] In general, we observed a slight trend towards stronger binding (approximately doubled K a ) in case of IrF‐XB for all studied anions compared to a previously reported Ir‐complex (see Table 1 and SI Table S1), although the conditions were slightly different.
A slight trend for increased expression can be noted on chromosomes 8, 9, 11, and 22 with their ratios increased by 0.15–0.2.
10 Concerns regarding secondary malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia and brain tumors, have been reported only in pediatric patients, with a slight trend favoring the control group. 10 Furthermore, there is a consideration that dexrazoxane may exacerbate myelosuppression caused by chemotherapeutic agents, as evidenced by a lower nadir in white blood cell count in the dexrazoxane group, although no significant differences were observed in the incidence rates of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia. 10 Overall, the totality of available evidence robustly supports the use of dexrazoxane in adult patients at high risk for developing AIC.
A slight trend toward decreased response with lower doses was observed at doses <1.0 × 10 8 cells; however, because of the small number of nonresponders, these findings should be interpreted with caution.
lilfordi indicated a slight trend of positive increase with increasing islet surface, with the highest estimate found for the island of Moltona ( F IS = 0.16).
Its BPSS improved significantly at all three time points after surgery with a slight trend of more improvement as time passed.
There was a slight trend towards higher satisfaction rates in middle-aged patients (40–65 years), and the lowest satisfaction rates were observed in those over 65 years of age, but this result was not found to be statistically significant.
These data indicate that although the catalyst maintains a reasonably average effectiveness over the reuses, there is a slight trend towards decreased performance.
[ 49 ], a slight trend towards an improvement in the glare sensitivity (mainly at medium frequencies) was observed from the first to the third month of supplementation (20 mg/day), and only after six months of lutein supplementation was a significant change observed in healthy subjects.
Similarly, although not statistically significant, a slight trend was observed in S-SAT and L-SAT values.
After eight weeks, improvements were similar in both groups, but a slight trend suggested greater long-term remission rates in the probiotics group [ 109 ].
On average, students are scoring between 7.8 and 8.0 on each item, which corresponds to the Likert designation of just under a “3.” For the class of 2016 and 2017, there appears to be a slight trend toward improved 7E-CRF performance from year 2 to year 3 OSCE, but this was not found in the class of 2018.
However, the fact that in both cases a slight trend towards motility improvement was observed led to the conclusion that AChE might play a role in the effect observed by the RSP extracts but further investigations will be required.
