Natriuretic peptides are recognized to increase endothelial permeability [45].
Within Sauropodomorpha, the number of sacral vertebrae has long been recognized to increase along the evolutionary history of the group, and one of the features that traditionally diagnosed the large-bodied Sauropoda was the presence of four sacral vertebrae (see [43], [69], [71]).
The use of mixtures of plants has recently been recognized to increase the efficacy of herbal medicine due to the presence of variety of secondary metabolites [ 53].
Dementia and weight loss are recognized to increase mortality risk [22], [23]; therefore, survival bias might have occurred, although it most likely diluted rather than exaggerated true associations.
Numerous risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerosis have been recognized to increase susceptibility to stroke; however, the epidemiology of ischemic stroke is not sufficiently explained by the prevalence of these cerebrovascular risk factors [ 2].
Occupational exposure to Cr VI) has long been recognized to increase the risk of lung cancer among historical chromate production workers (IARC, 1990; Luippold et al., 2003; Machle & Gregorius, 1948; Park et al., 2004).
Nephrotoxic agents such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aminoglycoside antibiotics and radio-contrast iodine are recognized to increase the risk of acute kidney injury in patients with CKD [ 41].
Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, are recognized to increase risk of cardiovascular disease, which is not explained by traditional risk factors [ 14] but by rather adverse effects of cumulative steroid exposure and proposed mechanisms such as endothelial cell apoptosis [ 15] and increased IFN-α expression [ 16].
Sepsis was included in the model since sepsis alone is recognized to contribute to increased mortality [ 1] as well as to abnormalities in biomarker levels.
The application of FRP-confined concrete is recognized to be an effective solution to increase the axial strength of many new and existing concrete columns.
