“…</p> <h2>Results</h2> <p>Follow-up rates were 57.53%, 82.87%, 85.24%, 83.92%, and 83.33% at the five time points. The preoperative mean body mass index (BMI) (45.60 ± 6.50 kg/m2) decreased at year 1 (30.04 ± 4.96 kg/m2, P=0.001) and was maintained up to 9 years (30.20 ± 3.92 kg/m2, P = 0.001). …”

10-Day structured initiation protocol from multiple daily injection to hybrid closed-loop system in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes by Goran Petrovski (129836)

“…The participants used the sensor for a median of 92% of the time and spent a median of 89% in Auto Mode. The mean HbA1c decreased from 8.2 ± 1.4% (66 ± 15.3 mmol/mol) at baseline to 6.7 ± 0.5% (50 ± 5.5 mmol/mol) at the end of the study (p = 0.017). …”

Hypospadias Reconstruction Training: Development of an Ex-Vivo Model for Objective Evaluation of Surgical Skills by Tariq Abbas (368053)

“…However, EMG measurements showed significant reductions in average EMG power, total time, dominant frequency, and cumulative muscle workload after training. Additionally, the mean power spectral density of the EMG signal decreased notably post-training. …”

Peripheral inflammatory and metabolic markers as potential biomarkers in treatment-resistant schizophrenia: Insights from a Qatari Cohort by Mohamed Adil Shah Khoodoruth (14589828)

Lower limb EMG activation during reduced gravity running on an incline. Speed matters more than hills irrespective of indicated bodyweight by Rod Whiteley (14150088)

“…Subject responses were quite variable for sEMG, less so for cadence. For the conditions examined, increasing running speed induced the largest changes in EMG of all muscles examined with smaller changes seen for manipulations of inclination and bodyweight.…”

Simultaneous Resections of Colorectal Cancer and Synchronous Liver Metastases by Reddy, Srinevas

“…Simultaneous patients had fewer (median 1 versus 2) and smaller (median 2.5 versus 3.5 cm) metastases and less often underwent major (≥ three segments) hepatectomy (26.7% versus 61.3%, p < 0.05). …”

Traffic medicine in the Netherlands by W. H. Brouwer (19794582)

“…In general traffic safety has improved tremendously over the last years but much less so for older (65+) cyclists. This is particularly problematic because the older population is increasing and with the arrival of the e-bike, cycling is increasingly popular. …”

Can pedestrians safely navigate shared sidewalks with e-scooters and bicycles? A behavioral analysis using surrogate safety measures by Abubeker Nemo Arshi (23124601)

“…As the speed of micro-mobility vehicle increases, pedestrian initiates avoidance at progressively greater distance and experience heightened perceived risk. …”

The Effect of Atorvastatin (and Subsequent Metformin) on Adipose Tissue Acylation-Stimulatory-Protein Concentration and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Overweight/Obese Women With Polyc... by Thozhukat Sathyapalan (704787)

“…Low-grade chronic inflammation of adipose tissue may link PCOS and adverse CVR. In pro-inflammatory states such as PCOS, spontaneous activation of the alternative pathway of complement results in increased generation of acylation stimulating protein (ASP) from adipocytes irrespective of body mass index.…”

The impact of abnormal maternal body mass index during pregnancy on perinatal outcomes: A retrospective cohort study by Ghinwa Lawand (17075043)

“…<h3>Background</h3> <p>Abnormal Body mass index (BMI) during pregnancy is a growing public health concern as it has been associated with an increased risk of maternal and neonatal complications. …”

Tumor protease-activated fusion toxins by Abi-Habib, Ralph J.

“…This dual-specific toxin, though highly specific, was less potent in vitro than LeTx. However, when we exchanged the catalytic moiety of LeTx with a protein synthesis inhibitor, the potency of both MMP-activated LeTx and a uPA-activated LeTx was dramatically increased while retaining their high specificity. …”
