“an increasing trend”

In general, ICCs showed an increasing trend together with age.

Because the incidence of AD is strongly associated with age, it is expected that population aging as well as the current lack of effective disease-modifying strategies will contribute to an increasing trend in its prevalence that will pose huge challenges to public healthcare systems across the world [ 9 ].

Since the virus is contagious during the incubation period, with an increasing trend of patients reported with an incubation period of longer than 14 days ( Qin et al., 2020 ), therefore, undetected hidden infection cases remains a major problem for the disease control ( Xiao et al., 2020 ; Mao et al., 2020 ).

The isotropization temperatures of the supramolecular complexes showed an increasing trend with the increase of the ratio of Ag + ions ( Table 1 ).

Almost all countries showed an increasing trend from 1990 to 2017, with the most pronounced increase observed in the developed regions.

Introduction Approximately 177 422 new cases of laryngeal cancer (LC) were diagnosed worldwide in 2018 according to the estimation of the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the forecasts indicate an increasing trend in the future. 1 In 2017, population-based studies prepared by the Polish National Cancer Registry confirmed 2224 new cases of LC and 1580 deaths due to this type of cancer. 2 For comparison, the incidence and mortality due to LC reported in 2009 was 2413 and 1585, respectively. 3 Although statistics show decreasing rates for new diagnoses in our country, survival rates are not improving.

In both groups, an increasing trend was present before 2017.

The phosphosites associated with membrane trafficking showed an increasing trend in late-stage tumors (Fig. 6g ).

The proportion of asymptomatic infections had an increasing trend.

CSE showed an increasing trend in the extent of damage on day 5, but not significantly.

For preprandial glucose values between 70 and 119 mg/dl, the insulin dose to subtract (in case of a decreasing trend arrow) was increased by 0.5 U and the one to add (in case of an increasing trend arrow) was decreased by 0.5 U; for values between 181 and 250 mg/dl, the insulin dose was increased (increasing trend arrow) or decreased (decreasing trend arrow) by 0.5 U; and for values > 250 mg/dl, the insulin dose was increased or decreased by 1 U (Table 2 ).

Although the end-diastolic LV diameter in mice subjected to 26 G TAC had an increasing trend from 2 to 4 weeks after TAC, there was no statistically significant difference compared with sham mice.

Although still lower than developed countries, it is still inspiriting to see an increasing trend of antenatal steroid use during the past a few years ( 11 , 28 , 29 ).

The number of infectious diseases among foreign cases reported in China present an increasing trend in 2017 ( 4 ), which has posed serious public health security threats.

In contrast, food intake by rats in 3 mg/kg DDP group showed an increasing trend after 48 h, suggesting that the animal’s state gradually recovered, whereas food intake by rats in the 6 mg/kg DDP group did not improve significantly, indicating that DDP still played a role in gastrointestinal stimulation.

Yet state-level analyses revealed an increasing trend in Rio Grande do Norte (2.58%), and decreases in Pernambuco (-71.4%), Alagoas (-4.41%) and Sergipe (-5.58%).

Results Given the markedly public health effect of IBD in Asia and subsequently in Iran, we designed this study to provide opportunities for policymakers to plan for IBD more efficiently. IBD's future trend in Iran We observed an increasing trend in the prevalence of IBD from 2017 to now and from 2020 to 2035 in Iran, Fig. 2 .

Furthermore, an increasing trend of MSM was observed in the HCV-seropositive PLWH group (28.3%, 68.0%, and 81.3% in periods 1, 2, and 3, respectively [p for trend < 0.001]; S2 Table ), which is consistent with findings of another study conducted in Taiwan [ 41 ].

An increasing trend of MRSA-related ocular infection has also been reported in several studies in the past decade [ 28 , 31 , 41 ].

The change of soil components during bioremediation The crude oil degradation patterns of exogenous bacteria in M4 and M5 revealed that there was an increasing trend in crude oil degradation for each successive 10 days period up to 53 days (Fig. 4 a).

On the other hand, there has been an increasing trend in surgeries or procedures to preserve the uterus, such as myomectomy, especially laparoscopic or RALM [ 3 ].

pneumoniae in Korean secondary and tertiary hospitals (less than 0.1–2%), but an increasing trend of CRE (CRKP and E. coli ) was reported in recent years (the carbapenem susceptibility rates of E. coli were 100% in 2011 and 99.3% in 2015; the carbapenem susceptibility rates of K. pneumoniae were 99.0% in 2011 and 97.0% in 2015) ( Kim et al., 2017 ).

Discussion The incidence of waterborne and foodborne infectious diseases in Korea exhibited an increasing trend over the past 5 years.

The CVI showed an increasing trend.

Meanwhile, the numbers of upregulated DEGs in “glycolysis/gluconeogenesis,” “plant hormone signal transduction,” “plant–pathogen interaction,” and “carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms” pathways exhibited an increasing trend from the 2 days vs. 0 day comparison to the 4 days vs. 2 days comparison and exhibited a decreasing trend from the 4 days vs. 2 days comparison to the 8 days vs. 4 days comparison ( Figure 3C ).
