To my mind, the mechanisms I propose offer a potential explanation for the singular observations of Segerdahl et al. They are incomplete – for instance, focal activation was not reported in the posterolateral thalamus and activity supporting the behavior of reporting the discriminative readout is missing – nonetheless, they provide practical inroads for future experiments.
In addition, genetic and hormonal have been proposed as a potential explanation for the survival benefit experienced by women [ 31].
Although an emerging gender effect was noticed in some of the articles analyzed by this review, little has been proposed as a potential explanation [ 20, 21, 24].
Differences in viral strain and cell type have been proposed as a potential explanation for some of the discrepancies between the studies.
Reduced cell-mediated immunity was proposed as a potential explanation for the high incidence of head and neck cancer observed in alcoholic patients (Lundy et al. 1975).
In addition to being important in tumor progression, vessel co-option has been proposed as a potential explanation of why antiangiogenic treatment has less of an effect than expected 13.
6 26 27 Several studies have shown an association between poor sleep quality or short sleep duration during pregnancy and preterm birth, 12 14 28 29 with inflammatory mechanisms proposed as a potential explanation (eg, disturbed sleep leading to disruptions to normal immune processes).
Hormonal dysregulation due to abnormalities of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis driven by epigenetics has been proposed as a potential explanation for associations between maternal depression and LBW.
Therefore, the authors 38 proposed that a potential explanation for the age-related differences in sputum leukotriene levels could be less GM-CSF in the airways of older asthmatics.
For instance, "clustering of high risk behaviors" in people can be proposed as a potential explanation: people who smoke waterpipes are more likely to be more careless drivers; as they might prefer driving with high speeds and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
