Secondly, the results of this study demonstrate that GIS mapping techniques may be used as a tool to quick display information and generate maps to highlight kala-azar disease risk prone areas for developing more effective control and prevention strategies.
Thus this study may be helpful for quick vulnerability assessment and adopting retrofitting measures for identified structures for earthquake prone developing countries.
Golden retrievers for instance are prone to developing lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, and Dalmations carry a gene that predisposes them to developing urinary stones.
This was particularly true for Ritzenhein, who was prone to developing stress fractures in the metatarsal bones of his feet.
Mice that are null or heterozygous for p53 are highly prone to developing tumors, particularly lymphomas and sarcomas [33], [34].
Ovarian sarcomas are rare in women [40], although aberrations in both the p53 and Rb pathways have been implicated in the development and progression of leiomyosarcomas [41] [43], and mice that are null or heterozygous for p53 are highly prone to developing lymphomas and sarcomas [44], [45].
Children are particularly prone to developing malignancies secondary to ionizing radiation for two reasons.
Persons with chronic liver disease, particularly liver cirrhosis, are more prone to developing infection and at greatest risk for an adverse outcome (7, 8 ).
George Eisenbarth, an endocrinologist at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, and his colleagues took a mouse strain prone to developing type 1 diabetes and inactivated its genes for insulin.
For example, people with AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) are more prone to developing cancers associated with viruses, such as Kaposi sarcoma.
