The risk of current asthma in relation to dust mite allergen exposure could not be calculated due to the fact that all control subjects were free of sensitizing or triggering exposure.
Dose-response relationships for asthma (allergic-immunologically mediated or irritant) have been well documented (6– 8, 10), although there is insufficient understanding of the timing of disease onset relative to the timing of the triggering exposure (8, 10– 10).
Although upregulation of maturation markers was triggered by exposure to UV-inactivated rgRSV, the level of maturation marker expression was generally less than that seen with exposure to live rgRSV (Table 1).
For Rudy Giuliani, Shakespeare's prediction came true with the news of his prostate cancer; that, in a way, triggered the exposure of a current extramarital relationship.
These research findings together suggest that bullying is caused by psychological deficiencies, which in turn are triggered by exposure to aggression and conflict.
We describe the case of a 40-year-old woman, affected by episodic cluster headache, who presented with a cluster headache triggered by exposure to high altitude.
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare yet potentially fatal pharmacogenetic disorder triggered by exposure to inhalational anesthetics and the depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent succinylcholine.
These results suggest that activation of NMDARs via the glycine modulatory site enhances the emotional memory triggered by exposure to an incentive downshift event.
The most important cause of COPD is smoking, but about 15% of cases are work-related, triggered by exposure to fumes, chemicals and dusts at work.
For many viruses, membrane fusion is driven by specific viral surface proteins that undergo large-scale conformational rearrangements, triggered by exposure to low pH in the endosome upon internalization.
