Such immunosuppression may increase susceptibility to disease, which may in turn be critical to regulating the population.
We also included priming of the animals with mosquito salivary gland extracts (SGE), because recent mouse studies showed that this "natural" pretreatment may increase susceptibility to WNV [17].
In bacterial vaginosis, normal lactobacilli are replaced by an anaerobic flora and this may increase susceptibility to Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a facultative anaerobe.
Study of the genes that may increase susceptibility to asthma development and severity in children.
Thus, depressive symptoms may increase susceptibility to these outcomes via sensitization of inflammatory processes.
This could reflect particular processing strategies and may increase susceptibility to certain paranoid and hallucinatory symptoms.
Professor Bracken collaborates with colleagues at Oxford University in a study of the genes that may increase susceptibility to asthma development and severity in children.
Among women, a different adaptation takes place, which may increase susceptibility to sensory cues to smoke, and may be modulated by progesterone.
These data indicate that Tat increases oxidant burden and resets the threshold for inflammation, which may increase susceptibility to secondary injuries.
We hypothesized that fetal possession of a specific allele, IL-1RN∗2, associated with increased proinflammatory responses, may increase susceptibility to intrauterine fetal death.
Therefore, although BMD may be preserved, the poorer quality bone and failure of aging collagen may increase susceptibility to these insufficiency fractures.
