“an overall trend”

Patients’ mean age ranged from 65 to 80 years, with an overall trend toward elderly populations.

Impact of participants’ experience level When comparing the baseline (pre-course) performance of the participants with < 5 versus ≥ 5 years of prior experience in reading rectal MRI, we observed an overall trend towards better concordance with the expert-reference for the more experienced participants (except for T-stage).

Exogenous SPD influenced the photosynthetic physiological indicators in drought-stressed leaves The photosynthetic rate of leaves in the control treatment was maintained at approximately 12 μmol · m -2 -s -1 ( Figure 3A ) with an overall trend of decreasing photosynthetic rate as the degree and duration of drought stress increased.

An overall trend for metals based on flavors was not observed, although fruit-flavored little cigars were observed to be statistically different compared to tobacco-flavored little cigars.

Furthermore, the scores revealed an overall trend of decreasing anxiety symptoms over time in both groups ( Tables 3 and 4 ).

The highest numbers of mitoses scored in this way were counted immediately following hatching, with an overall trend of fewer mitoses in the growth zone as segment addition continues (Fig. 5 a, gray bars).

In the significant vertices from the caudate TS-HC surface comparison, the TS group showed an overall trend of greater outward deformation from the population average surface compared to both the HC and NT groups.

In contrast, B ‐value fluctuations were relatively small, showing an overall trend towards continual growth (Figure 4d ).

Therefore, there is an overall trend of increasing lipid content and decreasing soluble sugar and protein content.

Implementation of this intervention demonstrated an overall trend of improvement in both fasting adherence and patient experience.

We further analyzed the human brain development (BrainSpan atlas) by the R2 data platform and revealed that there is an overall trend of a gradual decrease in purine enzyme gene expression from 8 weeks of age after fertilization to the prenatal period and that the purine enzyme gene expression levels are significantly lower at the postnatal stage than those at the prenatal period (Figure 2G , Figure S5A–D ).

There was an overall trend of declining annual incidence rates of Beijing strains ( Figure 1A ).

The levels of moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude fat showed an overall trend of higher values in autumn and winter, and levels were also higher in plants from site A.

3 display an overall trend where ligands and mineral surfaces with similar charge bind more strongly than oppositely charged pairs.

Notably, the CR group showed a greater number of underexpressed than overexpressed genes, reflecting an overall trend toward reduced transcript levels in skeletal muscle.

Introduction In modern engineering fields such as aerospace, structural design typically focuses on weight reduction while maintaining performance, with an overall trend toward integrating materials, structures, and functionality [ 1 ].

However, regardless of individuals who cycle back and forth between CKD and ‘remission’, the overall outcome during 2 years of follow-up was an overall trend towards a lower eGFR over a 2-year period.

Bearing in mind that the percentage of patients with high-risk PCa undergoing RP remained constant at 30% (EAPC: −1.7%, p = 0.7), an overall trend from low-risk patients to intermediate- and, in the most recent years, high-risk PCa patients undergoing RP can be seen.

Comparison of Sample Sizes Among all species, sub-sampling of active and passive camera trap detections revealed an overall trend of decreasing Δ and increasing error as the sub-sample size decreased (Fig. 6 ).

An overall trend of reduction in NP accumulation was evidenced after 24 h in all organs, except for PFDL-SDS accumulation in the spleen and the kidney, for which a trend to higher accumulation was observed after 24 h ( Figure 5 ).

These show that although the binding energy converges quickly, with essentially no change after 20 generations, the asymmetry values fluctuate more, with an overall trend to lower mean values for the asymmetry (i.e. more symmetric structures), which is generally converged by about 50 generations.

Concluding remarks In general, the results of this study illustrate that there is an overall trend for greater gene expression modulation in aneuploids than in a ploidy series, which provides insight into the century-old observation that changing the dosage of individual chromosomes has more phenotypic effects than changing the whole set.

KNG1, CATZ, PTGDS, PRVA, and HEPC showed an overall trend of upregulation or downregulation at 12 and 48 h after I/R injury, reflecting the progression of cerebral I/R injury.

As an overall trend it was found that the risk of prescribing antimalarial as well as antibiotic and antiparasitic to children with a positive malaria RDT compared to children with negative malaria RDT was higher in health facility compared to referral hospital.

There was an overall trend for increasing levels of inactivity and a reduction in vigorous activity.
