A very low value of α means highly risk-averse behaviour, causing a strong control response in which susceptible individuals effectively close down all social contacts if there is any hint of disease within their awareness radius, Figure 3. Higher values of α represent more relaxed (less risk-averse) attitudes and will cause a weaker response, particularly at low infection pressure, Θ.
For example, antihypertensives and lipid-lowering agents are given to prevent cardiovascular disease long before any hint of the disease has ever manifested.
It is of critical importance to identify new biomarkers and hints of mechanisms of disease states and disease progression in illnesses affecting large populations such as chronic inflammatory diseases in order to personalize treatment and accurately monitor disease progression.
Local authorities canceled school classes at the slightest hint of the disease and ordered students and teachers to stay home.
Mike Gregory was the Warrington captain that day, and typically brave in a 36-14 defeat, before returning to his dream coaching job at Wigan, his home town – only to collapse on the way to the 2003 Grand Final defeat by Bradford with the first hint of the disease that would end his life in November 2007, at the age of 43.
what if metabolic syndrome and other risk-based diagnoses hinted at an era of disease portfolios, like investment portfolios?
Some of the earliest hints of this came from disease-associated chromosomal breaks positioned well outside the relevant gene.
Thus, whereas the AS and the Bigliani classification are not useful for prediction of the likelihood of a cuff tear in most shoulders, the rare occurrence of a very high slope angle corresponding to an extremely hooked acromion appears to give a hint of rotator cuff disease even in younger patients.
These findings may offer hints about possible treatments of diseases and protection against aging processes associated with mitochondrial dysfunction arising from the compromised CL synthesis or CL oxidation.
Generally, oedematous changes give a hint for an acute process, whereas lipomatous degeneration is observed in chronic stages of disease.
