via via

English translation: progressively

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Italian term or phrase: via via
In an Italian research report:

Any suggestions as to how "via via" should be translated in the following context?

"In-fatti, per punteggi via via minori di sedazione si osservano, in particolare dopo diazepam, corrispondenti via via minori inibizioni del re-cupero della memoria e, analogamente, con gli altri farmaci impiegati, per livelli di reda-zione via via maggiori, si osservano corrispon-denti via via maggiori inibizioni dei recupero della memoria."

Thanks very much!
