Assessment of treatment burden and its impact on quality of life in dialysis-dependent and pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients by Asmaa Al-mansouri (16931739)

“…HD patients experienced significantly higher burden of treatment and lower HR-QOL compared to pre-dialysis patients and that HR-QOL declines as treatment burden increases. Therefore, treatment-related burden should be considered in CKD management and factors that increase it should be considered when designing healthcare interventions directed to CKD patients.…”

Effects of electrolytes and suwannee river humic acid on the aggregation behavior of silicon nanoparticles by Wazne, Mahmoud

“…The aggregation rates in the presence of SRHA were higher than that in the absence of SRHA at the same Ca2+ concentrations and the critical coagulation concentrations (CCC) decreased from 0.4 M to 0.1 M. The enhanced aggregation was attributed to bridging caused by Ca2+ and SRHA.…”

Dicarbonyl stress, protein glycation and the unfolded protein response by Naila Rabbani (291722)

“…An effective strategy to counter increased MG is inducing increased expression of glyoxalase-1 (Glo1). An optimized inducer of Glo1 expression, trans-resveratrol and hesperetin combination, normalized increased MG concentration, corrected insulin resistance and decreased low grade inflammation in overweight and obese subjects. …”

Optimal management, prevalence, and clinical behavior of saddle pulmonary embolism: A systematic review and meta-analysis by Fateen Ata (12217764)

“…The use of TT was significantly associated with increased survival (27.1 % vs. 12.5 %, p < 0.001). In a multivariate logistic regression model, massive PE features significantly increased the odds of death (OR: 29.3, CI: 4.86–181.81, p < 0.001), whereas, treatment with anticoagulation (AC) alone (OR: 0.1, CI: 0.027–0.356, p < 0.001), TT (OR: 0.065, CI: 0.019–0.26, p < 0.001), surgical thrombectomy (ST) (OR: 0.047, CI: (0.010–0.23), p < 0.001), or percutaneous thrombectomy (PT) (OR: 0.12, CI: 0.020–0.84, p = 0.032) significantly decreased odds of death.…”
