“showed a trend”

In our analysis of OED group, they did not show a significant PFS difference between patients with chemotherapy plus rituximab and those with chemotherapy alone, but only showed a trend of improved OS for patients treated with chemotherapy plus rituximab.

Of the tested variants, the risk variant in HHEX showed a trend towards a low birthweight and the risk variant in the CDKN2A/2B locus was associated with high birthweight.

As for the MMP1 −1607 1G/2G polymorphism, a Greek study showed a trend for association with exfoliation syndrome [ 37 ].

In the present study, although LGA children had higher insulin resistance indexes, they also showed a trend toward higher IGF-1 levels.

On parallel both groups of male 3xTg-AD mice showed a trend to impaired glucose tolerance albeit it did not reach statistical significance. 3.3.

Global QEEG measures HD subjects showed a trend toward greater global (i.e., whole head average) absolute alpha power as compared to controls (Figure 2A); however, the trend did not persist when medication-free HD subjects were compared to controls (Table 2).

These analyses showed a trend toward improved PFS and CBR in the lapatinib plus letrozole arm, compared with the letrozole plus placebo arm, for those patients who had ceased tamoxifen <6 months before study entry (PFS: 8.3 versus 3.1 months, respectively, P = 0.117; CBR: 44 versus 32%, respectively).

Analysis of cells per excisional wound indicated that BM-MSC-conditioned medium significantly increased the number of macrophages but unchanged the amount of granulocytes were found; T-cell levels showed a trend of modest reduction [ 6 ].

Lung density was analysed using 4 different methods of adjustment that corrected for variation in inspiratory levels between scans, and all showed a trend towards efficacy.

Although our results showed a trend of association between this parasite and diarrhoea in IBS patients, more extensive case-control studies that include parasitological molecular diagnostic techniques and genetic profiles of pro-inflammatory cytokines are required to clearly define the potential role of "non-pathogenic" intestinal parasites.

Our case also showed a trend toward adequate recovery following surgical management.

Visits and time per a round in the closed plus maze showed a trend to decrease ( Figure 2 ), suggesting improved orientation ability and inspection efficiency [ 28 ].

EVIDENCE FOR TEAM TRAINING IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE The first documented team-training course in emergency medicine was undertaken in the late 1990s by Small et al .[ 78 ] A limited evaluation of this course showed a trend toward improved teamwork behaviors.

Although no statistical differences between experimental and control groups were found, the experimental group showed a trend toward improved team behavior.[ 35 ] NEED AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TRAINING METHODS Human patient simulators The very recent advent of human patient simulators (HPS) promises to improve drastically the intensity and quality of medical training at all levels of proficiency.[ 36 , 37 ] HPS are computer-operated, life-size mannequins capable of physiologically faithful reproduction of human disease signs typically encountered as a part of a medical emergency.

The anastrozole-based IMPACT and PROACT trials also showed a trend favouring the AI arm, although the results in comparison with tamoxifen were not statistically significant ( Smith et al , 2005 ; Cataliotti et al , 2006 ).

Only uric acid and monoenoic acid, which are thought as innate antioxidative molecules, showed a trend for increase but within the normal reference value after feeding of 50 ml BBS (Gokoku-maroyaka-su) for 4 weeks by the use of 45 volunteers.

[ 7 ] performed a study using an experimental-field metapopulation that showed a trend towards hybrid vigour, as estimated from genotype frequency change.

In patients with an initial rhythm of VF/VT, those treated with TH showed a trend towards improved mortality and neurologic outcomes.

Third, although the sample size was small, CB1R immunoreactivity levels showed a trend to being higher in area 46 from monkeys after long-term exposure to haloperidol at doses that mimicked the therapeutic treatment of schizophrenia ( Figure 6 ).

In addition, the results showed a trend towards higher efficacy of UPA in comparison to LNG.

Among the patients in which UC-DAI at initial assessment was “3–5”, the results showed a trend similar to the subgroup of patients with proctitis-type UC.

Summing the amount of time occupied by high activity behaviors over hours ZT 5-9 (just prior to female access) across each measurement showed a trend toward increased activity at several time points, particularly in the upper quartile range, but the only significant increase in activity occurred on day 28 (Mann-Whitney Test, p<0.05) ( Figure 1E ).

In addition, patients with gain of 1p31 showed a trend towards decreased overall survival [5] .

In the subgroup of non-diabetic subjects the effects remained significant for progranulin, fetuin-A, RBP4, adiponectin and showed a trend with a consistent effect direction for leptin ( table S1 ).

Furthermore, in forehand and backhand ground strokes combined, the consistency showed a trend of decrease after the simulated match in the placebo trial (effect size = 0.57) while it increased slightly in the bicarbonate trial (effect size = 0.50) (interaction effect p = 0.088).
