Decreased Analgesic Requirements in Super Morbidly Versus Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy by Hamed Elgendy (14148846)

A slow but steady nanoLuc: R162A mutation results in a decreased, but stable, nanoLuc activity by Wesam S. Ahmed (10170053)

“…However, questions related to its mechanism of interaction with the substrate, furimazine, as well as bioluminescence activity remain elusive. Here, we combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and mutational analysis to show that the R162A mutation results in a decreased but stable <u>bioluminescence </u>activity of NLuc in living cells and in vitro. …”

Kernel-Ridge-Regression-Based Randomized Network for Brain Age Classification and Estimation by Raveendra Pilli (21633287)

“…Moreover, the proposed algorithm demonstrated excellent prediction accuracy with a mean absolute error (MAE) of <b>3.89</b> years, <b>3.64 </b>years, and <b>4.49</b> years for GM, WM, and CSF regions, confirming that changes in WM volume are significantly associated with normal brain aging. Additionally, voxel-based morphometry (VBM) examines age-related anatomical alterations in different brain regions in GM, WM, and CSF tissue volumes.…”

Decreased Interfacial Dynamics Caused by the N501Y Mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 S1 Spike:ACE2 Complex by Wesam S. Ahmed (10170053)

“…Additionally, we find that the N501Y mutant S1-RBD displays altered dynamics that likely aids in its enhanced interaction with ACE2. …”

Notch Signaling Inhibition by LY411575 Attenuates Osteoblast Differentiation and Decreased Ectopic Bone Formation Capacity of Human Skeletal (Mesenchymal) Stem Cells by Nihal AlMuraikhi (6002234)

“…Among the tested molecules, LY411575, a potent γ-secretase and Notch signaling inhibitor, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoblastic differentiation of hBMSCs manifested by reduced ALP activity, mineralized matrix formation, and decreased osteoblast-specific gene expression as well as in vivo ectopic bone formation. …”

Performance evaluation of 3D-printed PLA composites doped with WE43 magnesium alloy for bone tissue engineering applications by Sumama Nuthana Kalva (17302906)

“…While a low Mg content (5 %) only slightly impacted the print quality and dimensions, higher Mg concentrations (10 % and 15 %) led to increased weight, rougher surfaces, dimensional shrinkage in height, and overall poorer formation quality. Adding WE43 alloy to PLA decreased the average pore sizes of the composites. …”

Investigating the Effect of Patient-Related Factors on Computed Tomography Radiation Dose Using Regression and Correlation Analysis by AlShurbaji, Mohammad

“…Moreover, the study investigated the correlation between the different CT dose indices. Using linear regression models and Pearson correlation, the study found that all CT dose indices correlate with BMI and weight in all CT exams with varying degrees as opposed to age, which did not demonstrate any significant correlation with any of the CT dose indices across all CT exams. …”
