Consistent with this notion, chronic stress under certain conditions has been found to heighten biologic responses to negative social exposures (Gump and Matthews 1999); we speculate that similar processes may occur with responses to physical exposures.
The combination of empirically derived risk factors that are found to heighten the likelihood of absconding with patient-reported motivations can be used to further inform and refine decision-making around security needs and granting leave for forensic patients, with the ultimate goal of reducing the incidence of absconding.
Furthermore, participants scoring high on hypomanic personality scale and INCS were found to have an especially heightened risk for bipolar disorders.
Similar to our observations, caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients were found to have shorter leukocyte TL but heightened leukocyte TA, compared with control subjects (8).
Once widely promoted to keep women young and healthy, hormones were subsequently found to heighten the risk of some of the very conditions they were supposed to prevent.
Perhaps more plausibly, pressures to retain certain PRNP haplotypes (actually the common ARQ haplotype that is found to confer heightened susceptibility to common scrapie isolates, versus resistance-associated ARR or AHQ haplotypes of PRNP) may reflect selective advantages acting at the time of birth or during early postnatal life [8].
CK2 has been established as a potent suppressor of apoptosis especially in the context of neoplasia, since it has been found to be frequently heightened in most of the cancer systems and thus has become a generalized signature of oncogenesis.
However, an increased intake of foods rich in beta-carotene has not been found to pose a heightened risk for the development of lung cancer among current and non-smokers [ 25].
Feedback was found to improve client change, and this was heightened when feedback came from multiple sources [ 12].
The response to selection was found to increase with each generation, and LVF displayed a heightened response as compared with HVF (Philipp et al. 2009).
