We conclude that children who stutter may have diminished ability to remember and/or reproduce novel phonological sequences, and that further investigation into this possibility may shed light on the emergence and characteristics of childhood stuttering.
This impaired ability to produce IFN-γ by CD56+ T cells from the heroin users with or without HCV infection was confirmed by the observation that CD56+ T cells from those subjects had diminished ability to inhibit HCV JFH-1 replication in human hepatocytes comparing with the cells from the healthy subjects (Fig. 4A and 4B).
Patients with diabetes are related to endothelial dysfunction and have diminished ability for collateral vessel formation in response to ischemia in the heart and peripheral tissues [ 4- 6].
42 The older population may be at a disadvantage in maintaining higher CD4+ levels as they have diminished ability to stimulate CD4+ cells as a response to ARVs.
Patients have diminished ability to recall past consumption as BAC increases, so that self-report is increasingly unreliable as consumption increases.
Second, it has been previously shown that yeasts that arrest in G2/M have diminished ability to give rise to progeny, - but the mechanistic basis for this has been unclear.
Many have less control over their lives than other populations, are more likely to find themselves in situations of risk, and have diminished ability to negotiate safe behaviours [ 13, 14].
We show that the HCC1937 breast cancer cells have diminished ability to incise 8-OH-Gua and they accumulate higher levels of 8-OH-dG in the nuclear genome after H2O2 treatment despite a 30 min repair period when compared to the nonmalignant mammary cells.
The results presented above indicate that patients diagnosed with probable mild Alzheimer's disease had diminished ability to discriminate intervals in the sub-second range, as shown by the substantially increased WR index in the short time bisection task, with respect to the long time bisection task.
Some variants of the MC1R gene are strongly associated with light pigmentation and especially with red hair color in humans (i.e., the RHC alleles), and melanocytes with such MC1R mutations were recently shown to have diminished ability to cope with oxidative stress [ 43].
