In MS, relapses are the consequence of complex immunological and neurodegenerative processes.
Conceptually, it is well accepted that biological processes are not based on single genes, but are rather a consequence of complex networks of signaling pathways that are driven by multiple gene functions.
The understanding of the complex process of aging and its associated clinical and functional consequences, which are usually slow, requires a sufficiently long observation and follow-up.
These data therefore support the hypothesis that atherosclerosis is a consequence of a complex inflammatory process, in which immune response might be involved.
Although increased plasma lipids are central to the development of atherosclerosis, this disease is now mainly thought to be the consequence of a complex inflammatory process, involving immune responses at the initiation and progression of the atherosclerotic lesion, as well as at the time of plaque instability (Hansson, 2001; Steinberg, 2002).
Hamas also suffered the consequences of complex political developments in Syria and Iran.
In October, the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) will convene a task force of experts and authorities in risk management processes to begin exploration of experiences across industries, lessons learned, best practices, R&D needs and ethical responsibilities associated with mitigating the consequences of complex system failures.
Antibiotic resistance is not just the result of antibiotic-driven selection but more properly the consequence of a complex hierarchy of processes shaping the ecology and evolution of the distinct subcellular, cellular and supra-cellular vehicles involved in the dissemination of resistance genes.
Studies have shown that SRH reflects a complex process of internalized calculations that encompass both lived experience and knowledge of disease causes and consequences [ 13].
Not only the wish to be screened, but also concerns about surgeries and family planning are playing a role in the complex process of decision making about predictive testing 'Well, yes, the consequences, what if I have the mutation?
In vitro studies on microbial populations suggest that these similarities and differences underlying the parallel evolution of traits are the consequence of a complex interplay between deterministic processes and historical events [ 78– 80].
