predisposing factorsvirulencepathogenicityEimeriamicrobiotaNecrotic enteritis in chickens develops as a result of infection with pathogenic strains of Clostridium perfringens and the presence of predisposing factors. Predisposing factors include elements that directly change the physical properties of the gut, ...
We have evaluated the role of LCR22 genomic architecture and PRDM9 variants as DGS/VCFS predisposing factors. We applied FISH using fosmid probes on chromatin fibers to analyze the number of tandem repeat blocks in LCR22 in two DGS/VCFS fathers-of-origin with proven 22q11.2 NAHR ...
There are several congenital and environmental risk factors, such as prematurity, immune deficiency, congeni- tal heart disease, and tobacco smoke exposure, that predispose children to severe bronchiolitis4. However, the risk factors do not completely explain the variation in disease severity, and ...
This model proposed that cognitive, socio-emotional and interpersonal elements acted together to both cause and maintain eating disorders. Method A review of the empirical literature relating to the key constructs of the model (cognitive, socio-emotional, interpersonal) risk and maintaining factors for...

The study, thus, assessed the factors predisposing building elements to variation with a view to providing cost-design information that enhance ...
The study, thus, assessed the factors predisposing building elements to variation with a view to providing cost-design information that enhance construction project delivery, that is, on-time completion of project within budget. The building elements considered in this study include substructure, frame...
Although the fundamental clotting factors are known, evidence implicates a number of less studied genetic elements that predispose patients to adverse venous thromboembolic events. The purpose of this article is to review the fundamentals of the coagulation pathology, relate new findings of the past ...
These findings prompt us to consider whether gender itself acts as a lymphoma-predisposing feature or whether male patients simply accumulate other characteristics that have been validated as lymphoma risk factors. However, it has been demonstrated that there are no differences in the frequencies of ...
In consideration of the complex conditions in the study area, together with data accessibility, we choose nine factors from four characteristic groups as landslide predisposing factors, covering most of the critical elements leading to landslides in this region. That is, Topography group (including ...
Early age at onset, regardless of family history (FH), is considered to be suggestive of an underlying genetic susceptibility and is one of the most common features that prompt genetic testing. Among known genetic susceptibility factors, the major genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for 20–30% of...
