A male predominance (with a male/female ratio of 3.7/1) was documented in the group of 70 patients positive for HLA-B27, whereas females were slightly predominating (male/female ratio: 0.8/1) in the group of 34 patients positive for HLA-B15.
Overall, infection rates for women were only slightly higher than those for men (1.1 1); this predominance increased in those >70 years of age (1.7 1).
At 24 hpf and beyond, mef2ca 4–6 expression increased slightly but remained less abundant than the mef2ca 4–5–6, whose predominance increases further (80% of the total mef2ca transcripts) (Fig. 3B C).
HRCT at the level of the upper lobes exhibits a "nodular without tree-in-bud pattern" characterised by ill-defined centrilobular nodules of slightly variable size that have an upper lobe and posterior predominance.
The G peak (graphitic peak) was narrow for both graphene samples, whereas the D peak (defect peak), related to the predominance of graphene edges on the surface, was slightly higher for the CNW films owing to the edges of the vertically aligned graphene sheets.
A predominance of PS over PC (PC:2PS) only slightly reduced the activity from that in pure PS membranes.
Leukocyte count in CSF, available for 16 children, was slightly elevated (median 20 cells/mm [reference <5 cells/mm]), and with lymphocyte predominance (median 57%).
According to the averaging, most of the measured values are around 3 W/mK in the upper part of the borehole and slightly higher (around 3.3 W/mK on average) within the lower part, reflecting the predominance of amphibolites and metagabbros at a depth interval of 100 350 m and gneisses with pegmatites at depths between 500 and 750 m.
Class 2 was characterized by a similar, but slightly shorter diagnostic delay, the major difference with class 1 being a higher predominance of bulbar onset.
The average age of 69, predominance of retired people, greater numbers of women than men, and slightly raised mean BMI are all in accord with other groups of patients coming to hip replacement [ 21, 22].
