The phrase "and increasing grades of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a range or levels of something that are progressively getting higher or more intense.
Example: "The study examined the effects of stress on students, focusing on those with increasing grades of anxiety."
Alternatives: "and escalating levels of" or "and rising degrees of".
The intestinal type is believed to arise from a sequence of gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and increasing grades of dysplasia.
We examined similarities in the frequency and patterns of joint involvement between erosive osteoarthritis and increasing grades of non-erosive radiographic hand osteoarthritis, and compared risk factor profiles between individuals with erosive osteoarthritis and non-erosive radiographic hand osteoarthritis.
Trends in the patterning of joint involvement were strongest by symmetry followed by row and then ray for erosive osteoarthritis and increasing grades of radiographic osteoarthritis, although in erosive joints statistically significant odds were only seen for symmetrical patterning (table 2).
The frequency of joint involvement was examined for erosive osteoarthritis and increasing grades of non-erosive radiographic osteoarthritis by ranking the IPJ in the order that they were most frequency affected, and Spearman rank correlation coefficients were used to compare the rank order.
A clear positive correlation was demonstrated between the number of p21WAF1/Cip1 positive biliary epithelial cells and increasing grade of acute rejection.
Reduced levels of E-cadherin are associated with decreased adhesion and increased grade of epithelial neoplasms, whereas increased E-cadherin expression (induced by transfection) decreases motility and invasiveness [ 60].
For both men and women, increasing grades of the FI showed a dose-response effect in relation to survival, with >90% mortality of the most frail (FI > 0.5) by three and a half years whereas the total mortality over the entire observation for the least frail (FI < 0.1) was only 18%.
This is important given the similar pattern of joint involvement and clustering by symmetry, row and ray among individuals with erosive osteoarthritis and those with increasing grades of non-erosive hand osteoarthritis.
In this analysis, we observed a significant decrease in the T2* and T1Gd values with increasing grades of cartilage degeneration (p<0.001) and a moderate correlation between T2* (r=0.514)/T1Gd mapping (r=0.556) and the histological grading of cartilage degeneration (p<0.001) (figure 4).
We observed a significant decrease in the T2* and T1Gd values with increasing grades of cartilage degeneration (p<0.001) and a moderate correlation between T2* (r=0.556)/T1Gd (r=0.556) and the histological grading of cartilage degeneration (p<0.001).
Finally, the slides were washed in tap water and were dehydrated in increasing grades of alcohol (20 100%), and then washed with xylene for 5 min and dried at 37 °C.
