Unraveling the future productivity burden of cardiovascular disease in Qatar: Investigating the modifiable risk factors control in type 2 diabetes by Dina Abushanab (10696501)

“…The financial value of PALYs was determined based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per full-time worker (i.e. US$80,573). The base-case model estimated the productivity burden of CVD, and interventional scenarios were simulated to assess potential gains resulting from improved control of modifiable risk factors, including reduced incidence of T2D, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), decreased number of smokers, and reduced total cholesterol. …”

“…For the oil recovery process, the Fe₃O₄ was applied for the inhibition (i.e., decrease) of oil sedimentation, and the SiO₂ NPs were applied for wettability alteration and IFT reduction. …”

Release of colloids in saturated porous media under transient hydro-chemical conditions: A pore-scale study by Safna Nishad (16932474)

“…Favorable, medium-favorable and unfavorable colloids (i.e., repulsion absent, repulsion at long-range of separation distances and attraction absent with the micromodel surface, respectively) were deposited in the micromodel and then a series of colloid release experiments were conducted at different conditions including increasing the flow rate, decreasing the ionic strength and increasing the solution pH. …”

Surgical Strategies for Synchronous Colorectal Liver Metastases in 156 Consecutive Patients by Bouquet, Antoine

“…Surgical resection of all tumor sites is the only treatment that enables prolonged survival, but the synchronous presentation of CLM has been associated with poor outcomes.1 Preoperative chemotherapy is widely used in these patients to provide early treatment of metastatic disease, to improve patient selection for surgical resection,2 and 3 and to decrease the recurrence rate after surgery.4 The traditional surgical strategy for patients with resectable synchronous CLM includes resection of the primary tumor followed by chemotherapy and then liver resection. …”
