3, 4 Individuals with sub-patent, subclinical parasitemia are increasingly recognized as key for maintaining regional malaria transmission, and as malaria transmission declines in some areas because of increased malaria control, such individual contributions to malaria endemicity become increasingly important.
Inbred individuals are expected to be less fit than outbred individuals because of increased homozygosity at genetic loci influencing fitness (Slate et al. 2000), and populations with low genetic variation appear less able to adapt to changes in environmental conditions, including exposure to different physical and chemical stressors (Brown et al. 2009).
It is unknown whether twin outcomes are more similar than unrelated individuals due to genetic similarity, or more different than unrelated individuals because of increased illness severity of one twin, usually the "B", or second twin.
Cardiac oxidation may be concentrated in obese individuals because of increased epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) [ 40, 41].
It is not known whether adults with pulmonary tuberculosis and higher HIV load have lower plasma carotenoid concentrations because of increased oxidative stress, or whether these individuals are sicker and unable to consume enough carotenoid-rich foods.
Many Americans can easily identify with modernization, technology and the Internet because one of the most important things these do is increase individual choices.
112 Of these 63 individuals, three subjects dropped out of the study because of increased irritability.
Obese individuals have increased antibiotic clearance from the systemic circulation because of increased kidney mass and glomerular filtration.
Although individuals may benefit from increased physical activity, at the same time they inhale more pollutants because of increased breathing rates.
Using seafood contamination following the Deepwater Horizon accident as an example, we identify issues that are emerging in the PAH risk assessment process because of increasing analytical sensitivity for individual PAHs, and we describe the paucity of toxicological literature for many of these compounds.
Hospitals around the country are, along with politicians and the general public, focusing on health-care reform because of increasing costs, large numbers of uninsured individuals, and increasing numbers of individuals with chronic diseases, in part because of increasing longevity.
