The phrase "and sustained decrease in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a continuous or ongoing reduction in a particular variable or measurement over time.
Example: "The study revealed a significant and sustained decrease in air pollution levels over the past decade."
Alternatives: "and ongoing reduction in" or "and continuous decline in".
produced a marked and sustained decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and urinary sodium excretion and a profound increase in urine flow.
Using a similar paradigm in synaptosomes, we found that the application of AMPA (100 µM), either at baseline (Fig. 4A) or 10 minutes after the initial NMDAR stimulation phase (Fig. 4B), resulted in a rapid and sustained decrease in surface [3H]-AMPA binding, consistent with ligand-induced AMPAR internalization.
Similarly, we observed an initial and sustained decrease in the first AHP, measured as the voltage difference between AP threshold and the peak after- hyperpolarization voltage, in recordings from paired but not unpaired neurons (Figure 2B; "Paired", pre = −7.28±0.47, 40 min = −4.14±0.54 mV, p<0.001; "Unpaired", pre = −6.01±0.87, 40 min = −5.26±0.68 mV, p = 0.247).
However, a rapid and sustained decrease in testosterone levels followed.
This resulted in rapid and sustained decrease in the serum calcium concentration.
A rapid and sustained decrease in CXCL10, which was also decreased in synovial tissue, was observed.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.07122.010 Abrupt and sustained decreases in AgRP neuron firing, and increases in ARCinh neuron firing, were also observed at the population level.
In support of this mechanistic understanding, tocilizumab induced rapid and sustained decreases in hepcidin that were associated with subsequent increases in haemoglobin.
Ultrasound-guided FNB is feasible to perform in the emergency department and significant and sustained decreases in pain scores were achieved with this technique [ 15].
Studies conducted after PCV7 introduction, have shown dramatic and sustained decreases in vaccine type (VT) IPD rates, carriage and herd effects [ 10- 13].
