13 In addition, consuming fewer nutritionally distinct food groups (low dietary diversity), which contributes to poor health outcomes in African women and children, 7 may reinforce malnutrition and eventually result in poor health.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a complex cascade of neurochemical and signaling changes that leads to neuronal apoptosis, which contributes to poor outcomes for patients with TBI.
Because of nitric oxide's importance, and because diabetics do not produce enough of it (which contributes to poor circulation and other problems), researchers have long tried to develop ways to deliver it from outside the body.
These community liaisons linked families to community resources, explored community factors potentially affecting asthma, and advocated at the state and local policy level for system changes, such as the cessation of buses idling around schools, which contributes to poor air quality and can trigger an acute asthma attack.
Acute HIV-1 infection results in dysregulated immunity, which contributes to poor control of viral infection.
One central area of overlap of these two disease processes is renal dysfunction, which contributes to poor cardiovascular outcomes and mortality.
Thus, both genetic (gene deletion) and epigenetic alterations (promoter methylation) are likely mechanisms that inactivate the putative tumor suppressor AJAP1 in gliomas, which contributes to poor prognosis.
Branches of 1.5 inch diameter are cut off to chisel out these nails; however, most often young branches are cut, leaving only older branches which contributes to poor regrowth.
It can directly induce cell death by activating apoptosis or autophagy, yet hypoxic zones in solid tumours also harbour viable cells resistant to treatment, which contributes to poor patient outcome (Erler et al, 2006).
In the northern regions of the Russian Federation, underfunding of tuberculosis treatment programs have resulted in an unpredictable supply of antibiotics, which contributes to poor adherence and emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (10 ).
