“…Treatment failure odds were >2 folds higher for each 10-year age increase (<i>p</i>= .017), 32% higher for each 1000 IU/L increase in initial β-hCG level (<i>p</i>= .005), and >2 folds higher in presence of pelvic pain (<i>p</i>= .043).…”

Selective induction of apoptosis in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by pristimerin through dual PI3K/AKT pathway inhibition and ROS generation by Shilpa Kuttikrishnan (3520079)

“…In this study, we demonstrate that Prist effectively inhibits the proliferation of T-ALL cell lines (Jurkat and Molt 4) by inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and triggering intrinsic and extrinsic caspase-dependent apoptosis. Prist significantly increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and depletes glutathione (GSH), leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cytochrome c release. …”

Predictors of Pressure Injuries in a Critical Care Unit in Lebanon: Prevalence, Characteristics, and Associated Factors by El-Masri, Jihad

“…Multivariate analysis indicated that length of stay (β= −.110; P = .002), administration of vasopressors (β=−.266; P = .029), and total hours of hypotension (β=−.53; P = .041) were significant predictors of pressure injury. CONCLUSIONS: Vasopressor use, hypotension, and length of stay were associated with an increased likelihood of pressure injury in adults managed in an MSICU. …”

Predictors of Mortality in Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Regardless of Early Left Ventricular Unloading: A National Experience by Alaa Rahhal (14150403)

“…In-hospital 30-day mortality occurred in 42.7% among those who received VA-ECMO support regardless of IABP use, while it was 46.9% among those receiving early LV unloading with IABP. The significant positive predictors of mortality with VA-ECMO regardless of IABP in CS were CPR > 20 minutes (aOR 14.74, 95% CI 2.02-107.41; p-value= 0.008), older age (i.e., greater than 55 years) and LM disease of more than 50% stenosis were associated with a fourfold increase in the odds of mortality while on VA-ECMO. …”
