Hepatitis serology predicts tumor and liver-disease characteristics but not prognosis after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma by Abdalla, Eddie

“…The presence of hepatitis did not significantly affect the survival rate, but hepatic fibrosis and vascular invasion predicted a decreased survival rate. The prognosis after resection of HCC is influenced by tumor factors and liver disease, but not by HBV or HCV infection. …”

Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Haissam Abou-Saleh (497840)

“…Although no single sign of cardiotoxicity was observed upon exposure to 200 mg/L of ChNPs, as judged by heartbeat rate, the corrected QT interval (QTc, which measures the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle), maximum cardiac arrest, and ejection fraction assays, the same dosage elicited the impairment of both liver size (decreased liver size, but without steatosis and lipid yolk retention) and neurobehavioral activity (increased movement under different light conditions). …”

Genomic characterization of plasmid-borne colistin resistance variants, mcr-1.1 and mcr-1.26, in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from backyard farm animals by Dina, Daaboul

“…However, colistin resistance and the emergence of the mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes have been increasingly documented in clinical and community settings, including in humans, animals, and the environment [ [1] , [2] , [3] ], which severely limits available antimicrobial options for addressing critical infections. …”

<i>Haematococcus pluvialis</i> Microalgae Extract Inhibits Proliferation, Invasion, and Induces Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells by Nouralhuda Alateyah (21363215)

“…Interestingly, apoptosis was mediated by a significant loss of mutant p53 protein, and increased Bax/Bcl2 ratio. Our findings support our hypothesis that T1 exerts its anti-cancer effects by inhibiting BC invasion and inducing apoptosis mediated, at least, <i>via</i> the p53/Bax/Bcl2 pathway. …”
