It may be assumed that, when one is learning the denotation of the more basic words in the vocabulary of one's native language, attention is drawn first to what might be called the naturally salient features of the environment and that one is, to this degree at least, predisposed to identify and group objects in one way rather than another.
The young men are courted by mentors whose job is to identify those predisposed to a jihadi mind-set, radicalize them and put them in touch with others who could help them plan violent acts.
The long-term goal of my research team is to develop new biomarkers of diseases to identify those predisposed to develop disease, as well as monitor disease activity and response to treatment.
The outcome of this study immediately suggests a novel genetic diagnostic method to identify patients predisposed to severe atrophy of jawbone structure.
Although current knowledge does not allow EMB resistance to be predicted with high precision, known mutations may be used to identify strains predisposed to developing high-level resistance.
Microarray technology is a versatile technique that can be used in a rich diversity of approaches to help understand cancer development, to improve patient treatment and management, and to identify those predisposed to develop cancer.
Here, the application of genetics holds promise as a means to identify individuals predisposed to psychiatric disease (5), but genetic studies of mental illness have thus far produced few specific risk alleles that help clinicians care for patients (6).
Since in endemic areas socio-demographic characteristics alone rarely help identify women predisposed to TB infection, targeted screening should be conducted for all pregnant women at risk of activation (in particular HIV positive women).
Once more details emerge, he said, scientists may be able to identify people who are predisposed to narcolepsy and block specific gene variants in that person to stop the development of the disease.
Thus, there is a great need to find early, preferentially noninvasive, biomarkers to identify individuals that are predisposed to AE with the goal to prevent disease development.
In order to identify patients and families predisposed to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, we searched for germline mutations in two major breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2.
