In addition, a cross-sectional prevalence study was performed to determine the rate of compliance. The study subjects were healthcare staff and managers. Various predisposing variables were identified: instruction, valuing the effectiveness of hygiene, the perception that infections may be acquired from...
Using data from the 1982-84 National Long-Term Care Channeling Demonstration, this study examines factors associated with long-term care service use by African American, Hispanic, and white frail elders living in the community. Findings indicate that in addition to predisposing, enabling, and need ...
The biochemical cascade was linked to glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinemia, as well as endothelial dysfunction, which is the predisposing factor for dyslipidaemia and vascular diseases [55, 56]. The present study showed that inadequate exercise had unfavourable effects on MetS risk. Although on the...
DISCUSSION: OCP misuse can be considered as an additional predisposing factor for CVST among women and partly responsible for larger proportion of female patients with CVST. These findings should alarm the healthcare system to create strategies controlling the inappropriate use of OCP among Iranian ...
Ageing is a predisposing factor for hepatocarcinogenesis, likely due to changes in physiological processes and metabolism, and may also be a risk factor for HCC development (Radonjic et al., 2022; Tsujita et al., 2010). Data confirmed that older individuals with HCC were expected to develop an...
In conclusion, fast eating is a sole independent risk factor among major eating habits predisposing to the onset of diabetes. Future studies were warranted to evaluate precise phenotypes of fast eaters and also to evaluate whether avoidance of fast eating is beneficial for prevention of diabetes mell...
(SNA) and left ventricular hypertrophy in subjects with hypertension, suggesting that increased SNA may contribute to myocardial remodeling in humans.87 Elevated SNA may perturb cere- bral autoregulation and blood flow predisposing to cerebral ischemia.88 Evidence from post-stroke subjects demonstrates...

CFHR1 and CFHR3 deficiency is a predisposing factor for aHUS,12 correlates with the presence of autoantibodies to CFH,14 and defines a new subgroup of aHUS in children termed DEAP HUS (deficiency of CFHR proteins and CFH autoantibody positive).14 The risk effect of CFHR1 deficiency in aHUS ...
Notably, reduced expression of LOXL1 in elastin-rich, load-bearing tissues such as the lamina cribrosa has been suggested as a major susceptibility factor for PEX glaucoma because of the accompanying elastotic and biome- chanical tissue alterations24,33, and may be also a predisposing factor for...
