The cost associated with the development of the antimicrobial stewardship program in the adult general medicine setting in Qatar by Dina Abushanab (10696501)

“…The operational costs decreased with the developed ASP. Whereas antimicrobial consumption and resource utilisation, and their associated costs, appear to have declined with the developed ASP, with a cost saving of QAR458 (US$125) per 100-patient beds, the avoided cost was negative, by QAR4,807 (US$1,317) per 100-patient beds, adding to a total QAR4,224 (US$1,160) increase in the 100-patient beds cost after ASP development.…”

CRISPR-Cas Controls Cryptic Prophages by Sooyeon Song (4891132)

“…We show here that the E. coli CRISPR-Cas system is active and serves to inhibit its nine defective (i.e., cryptic) prophages. Specifically, compared to the wild-type strain, reducing the amounts of specific interfering RNAs (crRNA) decreases growth by 40%, increases cell death by 700%, and prevents persister cell resuscitation. …”

Development of new reliability metrics for microgrids: Integrating renewable energy sources and battery energy storage system by Mohammadreza, Gholami

“…The results demonstrate that the proposed indices effectively capture the contribution of RES to MG reliability and offer valuable insights for decision-making related to RES installation. Also, by integrating BESS, the contribution of RESs to outage hours and lost energy is effectively decreased from 89.41% and 87.41% to 32.69% and 28.94% respectively. …”

SARS‐CoV‐2 infection triggers more potent antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses than mRNA‐, vector‐, and inactivated virus‐based COVID‐19 vaccines by Hadeel T. Zedan (12535521)

“…We analyzed ADCC activity targeting SARS‐CoV‐2 spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins in convalescent sera following WT SARS‐CoV‐2‐infection (<i>n</i> = 91), including symptomatic and asymptomatic infections, omicron‐infection (<i>n</i> = 8), COVID‐19 vaccination with messenger RNA‐ (mRNA)‐ (BNT162b2 or mRNA‐1273, <i>n</i> = 77), adenovirus vector‐ (<i>n</i> = 41), and inactivated virus‐ (<i>n</i> = 46) based vaccines, as well as post‐mRNA vaccination BTI caused by omicron (<i>n</i> = 28). …”

Investigation of the Effect of Exendin-4 on Oleic Acid-Induced Steatosis in HepG2 Cells Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy by Olfa Khalifa (10914452)
