The negative prognostic role of advanced age in the risk of relapse that emerges from the first part of the study is certainly related to the increased fragility of elderly patients, which might be caused by several pathophysiological factors hypothesized by several Authors, but does not appear to be a controindication for surgery.
Migraine is hypothesized to be caused by the pathological dilation of blood vessels in the dura.
Such behavior is hypothesized to be caused by the preferential onset of a rough crack wake morphology (likely slip band cracking) at low temperatures, that impedes molecular flow from the bulk to the crack tip.
In the first case study, depletion of δ13C in mineral associated C in long fallow (> 7 yr) and maca (Lepidium meyenii Walpers) croplands was hypothesized to be caused by disruption of soil aggregates due to tillage and initial greater SOC concentration in maca plots.
These disorders have been hypothesized to be caused by exposure to endocrine- disruptive estrogen-like contaminants.
Low autocorrelation values are hypothesized to be caused by conserved, foreign, or horizontally transferred regions [ 14, 16, 17].
Furthermore, ADHD is hypothesized to be caused by an interaction of different genetic as well as environmental factors.
This early change was hypothesized to be caused by hemodilution, splenomegaly, and sequestration in the spleen [ 28].
All these three features are hypothesized to be caused by aberrant DNA repair (Guisinger et al. 2008).
The folding is hypothesized to be caused by the small intestine shortening, resulting in a rapid loss of space and hence folding of the remaining excess basal lamina.
Many species of Chlorella produce metabolites with antimicrobial activity, and this activity has been hypothesized to be caused by lectins (Table 1) (Chu et al., 2004).
