Prone


Definition:

  • (a.) Bending forward; inclined; not erect.
  • (a.) Prostrate; flat; esp., lying with the face down; -- opposed to supine.
  • (a.) Headlong; running downward or headlong.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is characterized by an absence of seromucous glands in the oropharynx and tracheobronchial tree, making children with this disease prone to viral and bacterial respiratory infections.
  • (2) Moreover, the mucoid substances of the sensillum lymph are probably involved in water conservation, since sensilla are prone to water loss, because the overlying cuticle must be permeable to the chemical stimuli.
  • (3) Analysis of mice injected with helper-free P90A virus stocks demonstrates that the variants are generated during viral replication in vivo, probably as a consequence of error-prone reverse transcription.
  • (4) The effects of chronic dietary salt-loading and nifedipine therapy on hypertension-prone (SBH), -resistant (SBN) and parental (SB) Sabra rats were investigated.
  • (5) The major behavioural assessment was the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) designed to measure the coronary-prone behaviour pattern (Type A).
  • (6) In 25 patients we evaluated the efficacy of the prone position to counter these technical difficulties and found that the prone position offers visualization superior to the supine, especially in obese and uncooperative patients and those with abundant bowel gas.
  • (7) However, nonsuppression in the dexamethasone suppression test was not specifically associated with the pain-prone disorder, which was further characterized by the factor models of the Hamilton Depression Scale.
  • (8) Advancing age was associated with a reduction in cell proliferative responses to PHA in both substrains, although the rate of decline was significantly more rapid in the senescence-prone animals.
  • (9) Surviving cells show such cancer-prone genetic consequences.
  • (10) Aneurysms enlarge rapidly when coupled with infection and are prone to rupture, thus requiring extensive surgical repair.
  • (11) Asymmetrical gait pattern with mild gait disturbance was found more often in infants lying in supine than in prone.
  • (12) Using a biopsy procedure, splenic pancreas was removed from both 65 and from 80 day old diabetes prone BB rats.
  • (13) However, DIO-prone [3H]PAC binding was only 14-39% of DR-prone levels in 9 areas including 4 amygdalar nuclei, the lateral area, dorso- and ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus, median eminence and medial dorsal thalamic n. Although it is unclear whether this widespread decrease in [3H]PAC binding implicates brain alpha 2-adrenoceptors in the pathophysiology of DIO, it does correlate with a phenotypic marker (increase glucose-induced NE release) which predicts the subsequent development of DIO on a high-energy diet.
  • (14) The effect of varying amounts of dietary magnesium in conjunction with potassium (K) on hypertension and stroke mortality in hypertensive stroke prone (SHRsp) rats was studied.
  • (15) The results indicate the beta-globin domain is a mosaic of aggregation-resistant and aggregation-prone regions with the latter being associated with H1 and H5.
  • (16) Under the influence of immunosuppression cutaneous hyperkeratoses more rapidly evolve into squamous-cell carcinoma, multiple skin cancers occur in some patients, and keratoacanthoma is not only more frequent but also prone to early recurrence.
  • (17) This chromosome region in T cells is unusually prone to develop breaks in vivo, perhaps reflecting instability generated by somatic rearrangement of T-cell receptor genes during normal differentiation in this cell lineage.
  • (18) These data suggest that the error-prone repair pathway participates in mutagenesis by quercetin and its metabolites.
  • (19) The City is rife with gambling addicts whose habits contribute to a risk-prone culture of the sort which helped Kweku Adoboli lose UBS £1.5bn, according to one London trader.
  • (20) The spontaneously diabetic BB rat syndrome is associated with a marked lymphopenia, which affects all members of litters of diabetes-prone rats, and may be a necessary condition for the development of the disease.
