The phrase "followed by a subsequent decrease" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It is typically used to describe a sequence of events or phenomena, where one action or change is immediately followed by a decrease in a certain measurement or value. Example: "The stock market experienced a sudden surge yesterday, followed by a subsequent decrease in trading volume today."
The temporal pattern of CSF PTX3 in patients with vasospasm was triphasic: there was an initial increase of PTX3 during the first 48 hours following SAH (acute phase, up to 17.2 ± 5.2 ng/ml), followed by a subsequent decrease in the next 48 96 hours (subacute phase, up to 1.2 ± 0.3 ng/ml, P < 0.01 compared with the acute phase).
The relative permeability of non-wetting (oleic) phase shows a concave nature i.e., initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease.
An immediate increase in CREB2 protein was followed by a subsequent decrease.
The curves can be roughly divided into two stages, namely, an initial increase to a maximum value followed by a subsequent decrease to a constant value.
This study was designed to determine whether there is a true rebound, as defined by an increase followed by a subsequent decrease, in thrombin activity after discontinuation of intravenous heparin therapy.
Messenger RNA levels decreased during S-phase while protein levels increased an additional 2-fold, peaking at the onset of mitosis followed by a subsequent decrease as cells completed mitosis.
Afterwards, HR after RB ingestion rose steadily above baseline or relative to water load values reaching a peak around 90 min (3.7 ± 0.7 beats min−1), followed by a subsequent decreasing trend.
Furthermore, the model indicates that an initial increase in cost (due to an increasing number of patients requiring therapy) would be followed by a subsequent further decrease in cost (due to decreased incident cases) as more infections are prevented.
Our results are comparable to findings reported by Wong et al. in which IOP demonstrated an early rise postoperatively followed by a subsequent IOP decrease seen after 4 weeks.
In contrast, the <155 group was characterized by an initial decrease followed by a subsequent increase in DI, which resulted in a 28.6% higher DI than that at baseline (Fig. 1).
Other investigators studying endocrine-active chemicals have also noticed such results whereby the initial increase or decrease was followed by a subsequent reversal.
