38 39 Our results suggest that in GC, differences in tumour immunity may indeed affect geographic locality-specific survival, similarly to what has been previously reported for other tumour types.
Environmental and social economic changes may affect the geographic distribution, abundance, and dynamics of rodent carriers and, hence, the epidemiology of hantavirus infections.
Climate change may affect the geographic range and incidence of several environmental infectious diseases, including West Nile encephalitis, Lyme disease, coccidioidomycosis ("valley fever"), dengue fever, and human hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS).
A wide variety of biologic, physiologic, social, economic, and geographic factors may affect the transmission, spread, and impact of influenza.
Results from these studies suggest that the presence of ethnic variations and geographic background may affect IGHV gene usage, in CLL [ 21– 25].
As ethnicity and geographic location may affect the effectiveness and duration of action of drugs, it is important to investigate sugammadex in a variety of patient populations.
Furthermore, regional differences in farm density and herd management that influence disease prevalence may affect condemnation rates in different geographic areas, and naturally-occurring disease cycles may cause condemnation data to vary seasonally [ 13, 14].
Increased habitat connectivity will also enhance gene flow among populations, which may affect processes like local adaptation and geographic expansion at the leading edge of the invasion (Theoharides and Dukes 2007).
Variation most commonly occurs as a result of relative geographic or social isolation and may affect vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation (accent).
