“an increasing trend”

In 2018, it was estimated that approximately 69,400 HPV-driven cancers occurred in males, displaying an increasing trend in recent decades [ 5 ].

Although the Shannon index showed an increasing trend, the difference was not statistically significant, suggesting that further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm this observation.

When the TMAO-related metabolites were evaluated collectively in T1, the analysis revealed a significantly elevated GDM risk when exposure levels reached or exceeded the 55th percentile compared to the reference 50th percentile, demonstrating an increasing trend (Fig. 2 A).

Most diagnoses occurred more than five years before the study, suggesting an increasing trend likely driven by improved awareness of eye care professionals about KC and access to refractive eye care services, including surgery [ 28 ].

For instance, in Norway, an increasing trend in health complaints among adolescents from 1994 to 2014 was observed, particularly among older adolescent girls [ 6 ].

University students experience higher levels of sedentary time compared to the general young adult population, with an increasing trend in the last ten years [ 28 ].

Dry rubber content in these lines showed an increasing trend, though not statistically significant ( Fig. 8 E).

10 , 12 For both males and females, BMI at 4–8 months showed an increasing trend compared with BMI at birth, followed by a declining trend up to 7 years of age ( Fig. 1 ).

The relative level of esters showed an increasing trend from days 1 to 3, peaking at 1.274 after 3 days before plateauing.

Although the number of OTUs did not differ within G sites or within RP sites before and after treatment, we observed an increasing trend ( Fig. 1b and d ).

When comparing individual polymers in isolation, there was an increasing trend in the number of nodes of fibrin in sequential polymerization when compared with simultaneous polymerization, although not statistically significant.

In all the post-keratoplasty groups, the value was seen to be higher at a younger age dipping down to a lower value at 30–40 years of groups and then showing an increasing trend with age [ Table S3a - h ].

Interestingly, an increasing trend was observed during 2010-2020, with an annual increase of 1.4% (95% CI: 0.8% to 2.9%), which was subsequently reversed in the most recent period, 2020-2023 (APC = −6.9, 95% CI: −12.1 to −3.1) (Figure 2 , Table 1 ).

The disparity between the current findings in Da Nang and earlier national figures may suggest an increasing trend in e-cigarette use among Vietnamese adolescents over the past few years.

The number of publications per year showed an increasing trend, particularly in recent years.

grandiflorus seedlings showed a decreasing trend after 48 h of high-temperature treatment, whereas the content of GA 3 exhibited an increasing trend.

Currently, VCI is estimated to affect approximately 20 million individuals worldwide, with an increasing trend in the coming decades, particularly in low-to-middle-income countries ( 1 ).

Immunotoxicity indicators Compared with the blank control group, the low- and high-dose groups demonstrated an increasing trend in IgG levels at the post-vaccination period ( Figure 4A ).

NPFP exhibited an increasing trend with an increase in planting density and a decrease in N rate ( Figure 2 ).

However, if this were the case, we would expect to see an increasing trend in Δ and Δ/Γ, and similar behaviour at the boundary current stations and inner basin stations.

CH methylation occurred most frequently at CA dinucleotides, particularly at CAC and CAG trinucleotides, which showed an increasing trend across G1–G7 (Fig. 4F , left).

Temperature (10.78 to 8.87 °C) and conductivity (3.93 to 3.75 S/m) decreased with increasing depth, whereas pressure (731 to 1259 dBar) and density (1029 to 1031 kg /m 3 ) showed an increasing trend.

This finding is comparable to the reports of Brown et al., who, among 89 travelers previously vaccinated with PrEP, observed an increasing trend in GMT over time without a clear explanation [ 12 ].

The results reveal the I sc of the control device exhibits an increasing trend with rising temperature, while the target device remains consistently stable across the temperature range, consistent with its more stable electrical characteristics.

Soil total nitrogen content generally exhibited an increasing trend with coal gangue substitution, particularly at the 75% and 100% substitution levels (Fig. 6 D).
