Rapid mercury removal using living indigenous microalgal communities for water treatment applications by Amr Nasr Fekry (22521185)

“…Kinetic studies showed superior correlation with the pseudo-second-order model (R² > 0.996), with rate constants decreasing systematically from 767.5 to 216.0 g/mg·min as concentration increased, suggesting secondary chemical interactions may also contribute to the overall mechanism. …”

A single-institution review of 157 patients presenting with benign and malignant tumors of the ampulla of Vater by Azar, Riad

“…For ampullary adenocarcinoma postoperative survival rates are rising. Recent series report 5-year postoperative survival rates of 53–68%.7 Successful endoscopic removal of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, in situ tumors, and focal T1 cancers has been reported, but is not widely practiced.8, 9 and 10 For patients with slow-growing benign tumors, endoscopic resection is an attractive alternative with decreased cost and morbidity.11 and 12 Endoscopic papillectomy has a recurrence rate of 30% with 13.9% of endoscopically treated patients subsequently undergoing follow-up surgery. …”

Circulating exosomal immuno-oncological checkpoints and cytokines are potential biomarkers to monitor tumor response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in non-small cell lung cancer patien... by Shayista Akbar (14442117)

“…We have demonstrated that baseline concentration of exosomal-PD-L1 (p<0.0001), exosomal-PD-L2 (p=0.0413) and exosomal-PD-1 (p=0.0131) from NSCLC patients were significantly higher than their soluble-free forms. Furthermore, the exosomal-PD-L1 was present in all the patients (100%), while only 71% of patients expressed tissue PD-L1. …”
