HAVE BREAKDOWN [21 records]

Record 1 2025-01-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Animal Diseases
  • Epidemiology
CONT

Reemerging diseases are diseases that reappear after they have been on a significant decline. Reemergence may happen because of a breakdown in public health measures for diseases that were once under control. They can also happen when new strains of known disease-causing organisms appear. Human behavior affects reemergence. For example, overuse of antibiotics has led to disease-causing organisms that are resistant to medicines. It has allowed a return of diseases that once were treatable and controllable.

OBS

Reemerging diseases include malaria, tuberculosis, cholera, pertussis, influenza, pneumococcal disease, and gonorrhea.

Key term(s)
  • re-emerging disease
  • re-emergent disease

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Children and adults with LALD do not have a fully functioning enzyme that is needed for the breakdown of certain lipids(fats). As a result of this deficiency, these lipids accumulate in organs(including the liver and spleen) and cells throughout the body causing them to not work properly.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines
  • Biochimie
CONT

Chez les enfants et les adultes atteints du DLAL, l'enzyme servant à la dégradation de certains lipides (graisses) n'est pas entièrement fonctionnelle. À cause de ce déficit, ces lipides s'accumulent dans les organes (y compris le foie et la rate) et les cellules dans tout le corps, les empêchant par le fait même de fonctionner adéquatement.

... [European Community] experience has demonstrated the limitations of negative integration. The history of the EC after 1985 is the history of the creation of a much broader policy capacity at the Community level, or "positive integration". The EC was pushed in this direction by the threat of breakdown, which would have forfeited the gains of the period from 1958 to the mid-1980s. EC experience clearly indicates that positive integration is needed to prevent the fragmentation of markets.

If the stiffness changes with use, so will the ski's performance. A ski that mellows to the extent that it becomes easier to flatten its camber area will also have increased drag. The reason for this flattening... is a breakdown of the core, called "core fatigue".
