Thalidomide-Revisited: Are COVID-19 Patients Going to Be the Latest Victims of Yet Another Theoretical Drug-Repurposing? by Athar Khalil (5906330)

“…Among these drugs is Thalidomide; a historically emblematic controversial molecule that harbors an FDA approval for treating erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) and multiple myeloma (MM). Based on just one-case report that presented positive outcomes in a patient treated amongst others with Thalidomide, two clinical trials on the efficacy and safety of Thalidomide in treating severe respiratory complications in COVID-19 patients were registered. …”

Applications of bioconvection for tiny particles due to two concentric cylinders when role of Lorentz force is significant by Lei Zhang (38117)

“…The graphical simulations are performed for flow parameters with specific range like 1≤Re≤5, 1≤Ha≤5, 0.5≤Nt≤2.5, 1≤Nb≤3, 0.2≤Sc≤1.8, 0.2≤Pe≤1.0 and 0.2≤Ω≤1.0. …”

Assessment of High-resolution Local Emissions and Land-use in Air Quality Forecasting at an Urban, Coastal, Desert Environment by Christos Fountoukis (4722963)

“…The model’s forecast accuracy was assessed against measurement data from five ground air quality monitoring stations in the greater metropolitan area of Doha over a one-month period. The footprint of the Doha metropolitan area on the geographical distribution of the anthropogenic emissions is much more realistically represented in the new version of emissions, which includes major differences in the magnitude of emission rates, locally, compared to the base case. …”

Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific burden of diarrhoeal diseases, their risk factors, and aetiologies, 1990–2021, for 204 countries and territories: a systematic analy... by Hmwe Hmwe, Kyu

“…FindingsIn 2021, diarrhoeal diseases caused an estimated 1·17 million (95% uncertainty interval 0·793–1·62) deaths globally, representing a 60·3% (50·6–69·0) decrease since 1990 (2·93 million [2·31–3·73] deaths). …”

When Should a Brain MRI Be Performed in Children with New-Onset Seizures? Results of a Large Prospective Trial by Hourani, R.

“…Multivariate analysis was used to identify variables significantly associated with the presence of epileptogenic lesions. RESULTS: One thousand children were included. An epileptogenic lesion was identified in 26%, with malformations of cortical development being the most common lesion (32%), followed by hypoxic-ischemic injury (20%) and vascular etiologies (16%). …”

Electromechanical performance and membrane stability of novel ionic polymer transducers constructed in the presence of ionic liquids by Akle, Barbar J.

“…Combined results from these techniques implied that the presence of large amounts of ionic liquid swelled the hydrophilic domains of the ionomer and greatly increased the ionic conductivity. Decreases in storage modulus and the glass transition temperature were proportional to one another but of a lesser magnitude than changes in conductivity. …”

Road safety and traffic medicine in Iran: Achievements and challenges by A. Motevalian (19807242)

“…Some of the interventions that might be contributing to this achievement include the following: a) the new traffic law passed in 2010 that replaced the previous one dating back to 1968. Heavier penalties for major offences like: speeding, driving under the influence and dangerous driving are considered in the new law; b) stricter law enforcement by traffic polices(1); c) mass media campaign for traffic injury prevention (1); d) using fixed speed camera systems and laser speed guns; e) universal coverage of hospital treatment costs for all traffic injuries by Ministry of Health and Medical Education(2); and f) graduated driving license. …”

Effect of AlN nanoparticle concentration in the electrolyte on corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the electrodeposited composite coatings by M.S. Khan (22047413)

“…<p>The impact of corrosion is widespread, affecting structures, equipment, and infrastructure across various industries increasing the maintenance cost and thereby decreasing profit and efficiency. Nickel-based coatings are one of the most tempting options owing to their enhanced mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties. …”
