Recently, there is an increasing trend of utilising prospective ECG-gating in cardiac imaging with latest multislice CT scanners (64 or more slices) with significant reduction of radiation dose when compared to retrospective ECG-gating method.

The governing principle of this approach is using scaffolds to deliver appropriate biomolecules to the defect area; the biomolecules are released from the scaffolds in a controlled manner and may recruit progenitor cells toward the defect area and promote their proliferation and differentiation, thereby enhancing tissue regeneration. In recent years, an increasing trend toward the combination of these two approaches is observed ( 5 – 8 ), because the scaffolds with controlled release of biomolecules can induce the seeded cells to proliferate and differentiate during an ex vivo pre-culture period, thereby encouraging tissue formation after implantation in vivo .

It is interesting to note that the mean malaria parasite density in infected volunteers exhibited an increasing trend from 2007 to 2009 and fluctuated in 2010 in Kombewa ( Fig. 2A ) and Iguhu ( Fig. 2B ).

Additionally, there was an increasing trend in intracellular concentrations of P and S in exponential phase cultures exposed to Cu(II) relative to the control, for Cu(II) doses of 5 μM and 10 μM ( Table 1 ).

Currently, we observe an increasing trend toward generating multi-dimensional genomic data including copy number variation, DNA methylation, histone modification, miRNA expression and gene expression data, all profiled on the same set of samples.

Although this difference was not significant ( P = 0.111), it shows an increasing trend in younger patients. 14 (77.7%) of 18 patients younger than 40 years old had positive progesterone receptor compared with 49 (56.3%) of 87 patients 40 years and older.

Majority of these findings were consistent with the observations by Penninx Brenda et al .[ 7 ] Iowa, East Boston, New Haven and Barua et al .[ 22 ] The prevalence of depression often followed an increasing trend as the number of co-morbid chronic conditions increased and this trend was also found to be statistically significant in the studies conducted by Kennedy Gary et al .[ 5 ] and Barua et al .[ 22 ] where the prevalence of depression was highest among those with four or more co-morbid chronic conditions and this difference as compared with other groups was found to be statistically significant.

In addition, as glycated hemoglobin increases, PAID-K scores show an increasing trend ( P for trend<0.05), but in unusual cases in which glycated hemoglobin was extremely high (over 11%), the score was relatively low.

IFNγ expression increased significantly in ablated tumors and showed an increasing trend in distant tumors.

In concordance with this, the prevalence of LB and TBE in humans has shown an increasing trend (Norwegian Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases (MSIS)).
