functioning as a secondary market for loans under this part, including the Holding Company described in such section) shall not engage directly or indirectly in any pattern or practice that results in a denial
of a borrower's access to loans under this part because

of the borrower's educational program, or the borrower's academic year at an eligible institution.
Trends in rates
of child diagnoses by mother's response level in children with a baseline diagnosis and in rates
of incidence or relapse in children without a baseline diagnoses were examined separately using the Cochran - Armitage test for trend.29 Low event rates precluded fitting regression models adjusting for potential confounders, such
as age and
sex of child, using generalized linear models with an identity - link
function, to estimate parameters for adjusted trends.
