Discussion Findings from this study show a weak trend of higher ETS exposure among children with more severe respiratory illnesses.
Soulas and colleagues confirmed the finding by Welter which demonstrates that age and disease duration are predictors of poorer outcome after surgery [ 6 ], but these factors were noninfluential in our study, although longer disease duration showed a weak trend towards poorer EQ-5D and PGIS in our group.
Increasing the concentration of pomalidomide resulted in a gradual rescue of HSP90α degradation, while a weak trend in the HSP90β rescue was noticed ( Figure 3B ).
9c, d ), although there was a weak trend towards more TLR3 and TLR4 at 4 h after LPS stimulation (Fig. 9c, d ).
In the balance beam test of sensory-motor function, we did not observe a deficit in APP/PS1 mice on a normal diet and saw a weak trend toward impairment in WT mice on the Hfd, but we did find a strong impairment with the Hfd in the APP/PS1 mice.
Sulfate and ammonium also had positive correlations with ambient temperature, while BC showed a weak trend with temperature ( Figure S22 ).
Remarkably, the degradation potency showed only a weak trend to the IC 50 against CXCR7 ( R 2 = 0.206; Extended Data Fig. 4c ).
When stratifying on three different age bands, we observed a weak trend towards decreasing risk with NSAIDs with increasing age, however with largely overlapping CIs, Fig. 1 .
There is only one exploratory comparative analysis ( 42 ) showing a weak trend among intravenous thrombolysis, DAPT and Aspirin but not a significant difference in 90 day functional outcome in patients with minor stroke.
There was no correlation between methylation levels of the TNF gene and any demographic or clinical variables, with the exception of age, which showed a weak trend for reduced methylation with age (rho = −0.440).
Although the estimates suggested a weak trend toward lower AAA incidence at higher Mg concentrations, none of the associations reached statistical significance.
Although intergranular tensile cracks were dominant in all the samples, a weak trend can be observed where the percentage of intragranular cracks increases in coarse-grained samples.
We observed only a weak trend to lose H2Aub (median loss 15%) at derepressed genes (Fig. 2d and Extended Data Fig. 5b ).
As expected, the level of serum UA was decreased after RA-H administration, while RA-L treatment showed a weak trend.
Although overall reliability was acceptable, there was a weak trend towards lower reliability on items that require an inference about clinical importance.
Taken together, these results provide no reliable evidence for cardiac‐phase modulation of voluntary action timing, although a weak trend in the key‐release condition cannot be entirely ruled out. 3.2 Elbow Flexion–Extension Task 3.2.1 Basic Measurements In the pull condition, the average inhalation, exhalation, and total breathing cycle durations were 1.852 s (SD = 0.621), 2.285 s (SD = 0.791), and 4.168 s (SD = 1.426), respectively.
However, there was a weak trend towards higher expression of IL-4 in TB patients and when we compared the ratio of IFN-γ or the IL-4 antagonist IL-4δ2 to IL-4, we saw a significant difference between HHC and TB groups in both cases ( Figure 1B ).
Physical exertion correlated weakly ( r = −0.19, p < 0.05) with physical work ability, indicating a weak trend, such that the higher the perceived physical exertion, the lower the self-reported physical work ability.
Namely, there was a weak trend toward an increase in the number of AAS types per clinical case.
Compared with other clustering coefficients, Clustering w(Z) showed a weak trend both in overall data and within individual organizations, suggesting again the high contribution of interactions between people with a high frequency of direct interaction.
