“an apparent trend”

Although it did not reach statistical significance, an apparent trend toward decreased UPEC burden in bladder of acidotic HeJ mice likely resulted from increased diuresis caused by ammonium chloride supplementation of the rodent diet (dark cycle urine volume [ml/mouse per day]: 2% NH 4 Cl diet = 1.5 ± 0.2,; p < .05 versus normal rodent diet = 0.80, Table 2 ).

There was also an apparent trend for positive association between magnitude of decrease in serum albumin and maximum severity of edema, with more severe edema seen in patients with the greatest reduction in serum albumin.

This is particularly noticeable in many high-income countries, which showed an apparent trend of decrease in the smoking prevalence [ 5 ].

Given an apparent trend toward appointing champions and potentially insufficient training being provided for the champion role ( Wood et al., 2020 ), identifying approaches for selecting, preparing, and supporting effective champions should be a priority for the field.

Similarly, the sAD group also had an apparent trend of lower concentrations compared to both controls and CU-AP in both WB and ELISA.

Although statistical differences across untreated and corresponding heat-treated stems were absent in most individual sugar monomers of hemicellulose (arabinose, galactose, glucose, xylose, and mannose), there is an apparent trend that heat-treated stems had decreased mannose relative to untreated stems (Fig. 3 D), indicating that mannose-associated polymers were likely partially degraded by heat.

An apparent trend emerges revealing that, since the early 2000s, instances of these motifs have been declining, (Fig.

This lack of an apparent trend in smectite or kaolinite abundance may reflect the postdepositional neomorphism of original clay minerals, highlighting the challenges in identifying long-term patterns in continental weathering and marine authigenesis from clay mineralogy alone ( 40 , 41 ).

Vitamin D3 was found very unstable under acidic conditions, with an apparent trend of decreasing stability towards lower pH values, with statistically significant differences in the first-order rate constants at pH values between 1 and 4, as showed by ANOVA ( p < 0.05) and Bonferroni-Holm post hoc test ( p < critical values). 3.2.4.

Estimates of exposure parameters revealed an apparent trend toward a greater‐than‐proportional increase in exposure at doses above 5 μg/kg/min (see Supplementary Figure S6 ).

Although data suggest an apparent trend for DAAS to be a service provided mainly to institutionalized users, it is important to emphasize that only half of the pharmacies provide DAAS in this setting and, except for one, all have at least one ambulatory user.

Although not statistically significant, there was an apparent trend for increased occurrence of some more severe endpoints in the vaccinated group.

Although a pharmacological experiment in 3-month-old APP/PS1-Tg mice does include a survival bias, our preliminary data, to the contrary, showed an apparent trend on the improvement in working memory (Supplementary Fig.

IL-4 did not display an apparent trend, as shown by three results of 1.24, 0.82 and 1.43 pg/mL.

Examination of short-read RNA-seq tracks at the Dscam1 locus from different stages of embryonic development revealed an apparent trend of alternative splicing that was coincident with the emergence of the long 3′ UTR in 14–16 h embryos ( Figure 3A ).

In retrospective analyses varying the year in which the analysis was ended, an apparent trend (although not completely monotonic) of increasing hypertension hazard with increasing cumulative PFOA exposure quintile was seen for sexes and ages combined in analyses ending in 1987; this trend became progressively less clear with longer follow-up after the time of peak exposure (see Supplemental Material, Figure S5).

This parameter also displayed an apparent trend for higher relative failure rates in the higher-ranked CCs (CC IV) in both jaws.

There was an apparent trend of increase in mean DMFT score from parity 5 and above, although there was a reduction for the smaller sample of parity 8.

Notably, those same candidates also exhibited an apparent trend for altered expression in presymptomatic human HD patients, suggesting those transcripts may play a role in the earlier stages of HD pathogenesis (Additional file 5 ).

There was an apparent trend that elevation of IgM levels in the acute phase of infection; then IgG levels rose later.

However, there was an apparent trend in the variance of effect sizes; studies with more closely matched sampling and experimental spatial scales had more variable effect sizes (Fig. 2 b).

However, after adjusting for smoking status, there was only an apparent trend for increasing exposure to PM 2.5 to be associated with increasing LV mass (2.9 g/m 2 increase per interquartile range increase in PM 2.5 , 95% CI –0.2 to 5.9, P = .07).

The COO- band at 1589 cm − 1 , when CMC was present, exhibited an apparent trend towards a lower wave number at 1581 cm − 1 .

We found an apparent trend with increasing frequency of drug use and GC risk reduction.

3 4 Although the precise relationship between the level of income or its growth and inequality is hard to ascertain and the relationships is likely to be nonlinear, 16 – 18 an apparent trend in recent years is the increase in inequality within countries. 19 , 20 For instance, China’s Gini has risen from 31 in 1981 to 45 in 2001. 21 Even in Korea and Japan, which are perceived as countries with the most equal distribution, Gini coefficients are increasing. 5 It is important to emphasize
