In marked contrast to the growth-slowing effect of irradiation, the treatment of host animals by previous injection of radiation-killed tumour cells led to a reduced latent period and a faster average rate of growth.
As reported below in the results section for the unmitigated no intervention scenario, these assumptions regarding the duration of latent and infectious periods lead to a mean generation time (serial interval) of 2.47 days which is consistent with that estimated for A/H1N1 2009 influenza [ 29].
In order to evaluate cognition as conceptualized by subjectivity, PCA with Oblimin rotation method [ 34] was performed to see whether latent variables would emerge and lead to a cognitive model different from the initial theoretical one that have been the basis of our scale.
The increased use of PSA as a screening test for Nigerian men, in addition to the increase in cross-sectional or population-based surveys, has led to detection of a significant number of latent cases, as has been observed in other places, which may potentially lead to a dramatic reduction in the number of patients with metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis.
Human error is a by-product of performance variability caused by system failures, for which undetected error generates a latent error condition that can lead to an undesired outcome.
The HIV/AIDS pandemic, coupled with poor health care delivery in many resource-limited countries, has fueled the resurgence of TB [ 7]. High TB incidence rates occur where HIV is most prevalent, and the immunosuppression caused by HIV leads to a reactivation of latent TB [ 8].
Naciff et al. (2002) have identified the genes in the fetal rat uterus and ovaries that are responsive to estrogens, as a means of cataloging the possible candidate genes whose altered expression may lead to the latent, persistent effects that have been observed after developmental exposure to potent estrogens (Naciff et al. 2004).
The introduction of a multi-disciplinary tracheostomy outreach team has led to a reduction in the latent critical incidents associated with tracheostomised patients.
Finally, it is possible that other mechanisms of immunosuppression different from those of DSP may lead to reactivation of latent infection, but the pathogenesis of such a mechanism in relation to Salmonella infection and reactivation remains to be described.
In this study, cynomolgus macaques with latent TB were infected with SIVmac251 to investigate the factors that could lead to reactivation of latent TB.
