Because most atrazine studies conducted analysis of variance to test for dose responses, despite regression analyses providing much greater statistical power (Cottingham et al. 2005), we include studies that had substantial trends for effects of atrazine (i.e., a nonsignificant increase or decrease) with studies that reported statistically significant effects (α = 0.05).
But the unceasing focus on Woods is concealing a more substantial trend in the world of corporate sponsorship spending: Marketers are growing wary of, if not downright antagonistic toward, sports endorsements and sponsorships.
We sat down with Ahn for a short Q&A on his experience with VAJP 2 and to talk about his position as a modern performer in the midst of the substantial trend uniting dance and technology.
Results in this area did not support previous findings of a substantial trend towards poorer health practices (particularly smoking) among very young (12- to 19-year-old) women.
There was no substantial trend in risk with number of screens attended, consistent with the fact that only the screen at which a cancer is detected actually confers a benefit (Elmore et al, 2005).
During the past year, the rate of inflation has gone up and down, as it does, but there is no substantial trend upward, apart from energy and medical prices.
Nevertheless, the absence of any substantial trends in SIRs with the number of prescriptions of low-dose aspirin or years of follow-up argues against any important inverse association between use of low-dose aspirin and cancer risk.
Also, our finding of no substantial trends in IRRs over number of NSAID prescriptions argues against a major protective effect of NSAIDs on the development of oral cancer.
However, it is worthwhile to note the substantial trends towards increased levels of these cytokines as a function of combined administration of the Arctic chemicals.
Corrections have been made from the original manuscript published online: Criteria for identifying results showing "substantial trends" has been clarified; the number of studies has been corrected in the text; and the "effect direction" for relevant studies has been corrected in Tables 1, 3, and 5.
