“an increasing trend”

Such concern about 131 I-induced stunning has led to an increasing trend of avoiding pre-therapy diagnostic 131 I WBS altogether, or considering the use of 123 I instead of 131 I for diagnostic WBS [ 39–41 ] .

A declining trend was apparent for death in low mortality health resource groups, and an increasing trend for decubitus ulcer and two obstetric trauma indicators: vaginal delivery with and without instrument (these trends were significant at the 1% level).

Figure 2 shows estimated marginal means of the fitted model (mean HAQ scores adjusted for age, sex, DAS, treatment and time) for each category of 10 Sharp units and clearly points to an increasing trend.

Currently, three serotypes (DENV1, 2 and 3) co-circulate in most areas of Brazil and an increasing trend in hospitalization rates has been observed, suggesting a shift in disease severity [ 18 ].

Odds ratios for all properties generally show an increasing trend as the threshold level is increased, showing that the SVM classifier preferentially selects gene pairs having the properties studied with higher accuracy at higher thresholds, even though the properties themselves are not used as input features for prediction.

Results From 1985 to 2002, there was an increasing trend in the number of breast cancer cases in females between 45 and 64 years old in Midland, Saginaw, and Bay Counties (Figure 2 ) with an APC of 0.43, which is slightly higher than the national trend (0.4) during the approximately same period [ 24 ].

Some evidence of an increasing trend with dose in mortality from all circulatory diseases may, at least partly, be due to confounding by smoking.

The urban population showed an increasing trend of hyperopia with age similar to the findings reported by APEDS 11 and several other studies. 21 - 23 Hyperopia prevalence was found to be significantly higher among women than men in the urban population as seen in the rural.

1 In our case, SO occurred after parsplana vitrectomy which is a rare occurrence. The reported incidence of SO following vitreoretinal surgeries is 1 in 8001 1 and has shown an increasing trend, especially with repeated surgeries.

The AA plus RA curve, which was more interesting for clinicians than AA or RA alone, showed an increasing trend during the camp.

On the other hand, some of those substances that had a decreasing trend in prevalence either exhibited an increasing trend (e.g., alcohol and tobacco), remained relatively stable (e.g., ecstasy for middle school students) or, to a lesser extent, decreased in onset rate (ecstasy, ketamine, and marijuana for high school students).

If the amount of exons or introns follows an increasing trend (during the process of genome-size expansion), the first exon and intron are older than the next ones; the older introns have more time to be inserted and become longer; the inserted sequences in introns generally have a lower GC content; and the later occurring introns cut the coding sequences into shorter ones except for the first and the last exon, which are required by splicing-related factors; the subsequent recruited exons (or parts of them), compared with the first exons, have a higher possibility of coming from intron sequences and therefore have a lower GC content.

It is clear that for any birth weight group, the MSE across the gestation groups are not very different as compared to an increasing trend of values across weight groups for any gestation group, suggesting that birth weight has a more important role than gestation.

The same pattern of mortality is noted in small children (1–4 years) with an increasing trend in high-income countries.

In the year 2001, the annual mortality rate increased significantly to 2.6 per million inhabitants from around 1.4 per million observed during the 1990ies.[ 15 ] Figure 1 shows yearly incidences of reported CJD deaths in Switzerland: between 1988 and 2000, an average of 9 definite and probable CJD deaths according to European criteria (maximum: 11 cases in 2000) were reported annually.[ 16 ] In 2001, 19 deaths were reported, an increasing trend that was sustained in the following years with 18 deaths in 2002, 17 in 2003, 16 in 2004, 10 in 2005, 13 in 2006 and 15 deaths in 2007.

Abstract Background Current data on incidence of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are sparse and concerns about an increasing trend have been raised.

Time trends and geographical patterns The absolute number of meningitis cases showed an increasing trend from 175 to 224 (figure 1a ).

While SEER-Medicare data indicated an increasing trend for chemoradiation after the 1999 NCI clinical alert, chemoradiation was less frequent in elderly women with cervical cancer. pmc-status-qastatus 0 pmc-status-live yes pmc-status-embargo no pmc-status-released yes pmc-prop-open-access yes pmc-prop-olf no pmc-prop-manuscript no pmc-prop-legally-suppressed no pmc-prop-has-pdf yes pmc-prop-has-supplement no pmc-prop-pdf-only no pmc-prop-suppress-copyright no pmc-prop-is-real-version no pmc-prop-is-scanned-article no pmc-prop-preprint no pmc-prop-in-epmc yes pmc-license-ref CC BY 1.

The black dots, which are the corresponding restricted maximum likelihood estimates for σ u 2 , show an increasing trend as ρ increases.

To examine the concordance of changes, we used a sign test that compares the negative or positive signs of sums of z-scores from our proteomics study with the log 2 -fold changes from the microarray study because in both data sets positive values indicate an increasing trend of proteins/genes in HD status and negative values indicate a decreasing trend.

We found a similarity between serum bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase whenever there was an increasing trend.

There is an increasing trend toward testosterone supplementation in these women.

There was no significant difference between the subgroups according to gender, but age and waist circumference showed an increasing trend with lower glucose tolerance.

There is an increasing trend towards large-scale network-based stationary 13 C MFA [ 16 , 17 ], as well as non-stationary (i.e., dynamic) 13 C MFA [ 18 - 20 ].
