Risk factors for venous thromboembolism in pregnancy include increasing age, history of thromboembolism, hypercoagulable conditions, operative vaginal delivery or cesarean section, obesity, and a family history of thrombosis. 

The size and morphology of goethite crystals grown at pH 12 is related to the ageing history of the parent iron solutions (Atkinson et al., 1968). As the extent of hydro-... 

Atrial fibrillation is commonly associated with heart failure, and the prevalence of atrial fibrillation is related to the severity of heart failure, with less than 5% affected with very mild heart failure to nearly 50% affected with advanced heart failure [66]. Heart failure and atrial fibrillation are both common cardiovascular disorders and share the same demographic risk factors, including age, history of hypertension, prior myocardial infarction, and valvular heart disease [67, 68]. Further, the incidence of heart failure increases dramatically after the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation [69]. Progression of LV dysfunction can clearly be associated with rapid ventricular rates [70-76]. Conversely, conversion to normal sinus rhythm or control of ventricular response in atrial fibrillation can improve LV function [71-74, 77]. Accordingly, rate control becomes very important in patients with heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy, and likely even more so when ischemia from rapid rates complicate the patient s course.

All these four aspects have their own prognostic implications, but also are complementary amongst themselves and with the clinical and enzymatic risk markers (age, history of infarction, risk factors and level of enzymes risk score) (Morrow etal, 2000a,b) (p. 257). We will now discuss these in detail. 

Patient assessment should begin with identifying risk factors for osteoporosis and fractures (see Table 88-1). Important points include age, history of nontraumatic adult fractures, family history of osteoporosis or fragility fractures, comorbid medical and mental illnesses, lifestyle habits (diet, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol use), menstrual history, fall risk, prior and current medications (especially... 

The most common sites of GI injmy are the gastric and duodenal mucosae." The incidence of gastric ulcers with NSAID use is approximately 11% to 13%, and that for duodenal ulcers is 7% to 10%. Serious GI complications associated with NSAIDs, including perforations, gastric outlet obstruction, and GI bleeding, occur in 1.5% to 4% of patients per year. NSAIDs are so widely used that these small percentages translate into substantial morbidity and mortality. " Moreover, the risk increases to 9% per year for patients with the risk factors of advanced age, history of peptic ulcer or GI bleeding, or cardiovascular disease. Consequently, about 16,500 deaths are associated annually with NSAID use in rheumatoid arthritis or OA patients. 

The appropriate workup for identifying a primary tumor depends on the patient s clinical symptoms, age, history, and gender and the likelihood of finding the primary tumor. Patients with CUPS do poorly as a group, with a median survival of 6 to 11 months, and the importance of establishing the origin of the primary site guides therapeutic interventions of hormonal manipulation, chemotherapy, and radiation. " The clinician must also take into account the economics of an... 

The baseline emissions on the vehicle were 1.5 g/mile HC, 9.6 g/mile CO and 4.5 g/mile Nox. While the HC and CO emissions appear to be normal, our experience indicates that a 2.5 - 3.0 g/mile NOx value is more indicative of vehicles of this displacement. In Table 3, the fresh and aged performance is given for the system. As seen, a SMART Pd-only system appears very stable with this aging history. 

Gel electrophoresis, especially alkaline (pH 9.0) urea-PAGE, is the best method for characterizing the large water-insoluble (WISF) peptides and is also useful for characterizing the larger water-soluble (WSF) peptides. Ledford et al. (1966) and Marcos et al. (1979) showed differences between the electrophoretograms of 7 and 34 cheese varieties, respectively, by urea-PAGE both studies involved only one sample, of unknown age, history, or quality, for each variety and hence may not have been typical. 

Very little data in the literature relate room-temperature modulus values to aging history. Given that stiffness is a critical property for CMC engine applications (Chapter 2), research in this area is certainly warranted.

Little can be found in the literature concerning the effect of thermal aging history on the thermal conductivity (diffusivity)... 

Fig. 5.11 The dependence of the stress relaxation in PMMA at T = 80 C for samples with different aging histories. The more rapidly the samples were cooled from above Tg to 80 °C the larger the concentration of retained free volume and the stronger the stress relaxations at 80 C (from McLoughlin and Tobolsky (1951) courtesy of Wiley).

Susceptibility factors There is no correlation between the risk of TRALI and age, history of transfusions, previous transfusion reactions in the recipient, or ABO compatibility of donor and recipient the volume of donor plasma correlates poorly with the risk [39- ].
