COVID-19 biomarkers for severity mapped to polycystic ovary syndrome by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…However, it is observed that in metabolic conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome expressed proteins differ compared to control women [2] and PCOS patients have increased platelet aggregation and decreased plasma fibrinolytic activity, resulting in a prothrombotic propensity [3, 4], with elevated coagulation markers [5]. …”

Ratings of Perceived Exertion Misclassify Intensities for Sedentary Older Adults During Graded Cycling Test: Effect of Supramaximal High-Intensity Interval Training by Georges Jabbour (754884)

“…The intervention elicited physiological changes at rest and submaximal intensities, while no improvements were noted for both groups in aerobic fitness (i.e., V˙O₂peak). For both groups, RPE decreases with SCE at 10 min following graded test correlated significantly to V˙O₂ (r = 0.61, p < 0.01). …”

Detailed organic characterization of process water to evaluate reverse osmosis membrane fouling in industrial wastewater treatment by Minier-Matar, Joel

“…One of the key challenges for RO membranes application to industrial wastewater treatment is fouling which is frequently attributed to the soluble organics present in the water and/or associated with field chemicals. In this study, a detailed organic characterization methodology, using liquid chromatography with organic carbon detector (LC-OCD) was applied to characterize the organics on a real process water collected from industrial wastewater treatment plant at a gas production facility. …”

Trends in prevalence of blindness and distance and near vision impairment over 30 years: an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study by Rupert Bourne (603842)

“…Globally, between 1990 and 2020, among adults aged 50 years or older, age-standardised prevalence of blindness decreased by 28·5% (–29·4 to −27·7) and prevalence of mild vision impairment decreased slightly (–0·3%, −0·8 to −0·2), whereas prevalence of moderate and severe vision impairment increased slightly (2·5%, 1·9 to 3·2; insufficient data were available to calculate this statistic for vision impairment from uncorrected presbyopia). …”
