Football-induced fatigue in hypoxia impairs repeated sprint ability and perceptual-cognitive skills by Samuel A. Pullinger (8154627)

“…</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">The data demonstrates the RS test was sensitive to fatigue/hypoxia for a given physical load. Simulated matches in hypoxia revealed larger decreases, in RS and perceptual-cognitive skills, highlighting the need for optimal acclimatisation strategies, including physical and technical preparation, prior to playing at altitude.…”

Diabetes-related cardiovascular and economic burden in patients hospitalized for heart failure in the US: a recent temporal trend analysis from the National Inpatient Sample by Menatalla Mekhaimar (14103708)

“…However, the temporal trend shows that hospitalization and in-hospital mortality are on a descending slope at a cost of an increasing yearly expenditure and length of stay, even to a larger extent than in patient without DM.…”

Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants by Bin, Zhou

“…The global increase in the number of adults with raised blood pressure is a net effect of increase due to population growth and ageing, and decrease due to declining age-specific prevalence. …”

Preparation of Mesoporous/Microporous MnCo₂O₄ and Nanocubic MnCr₂O₄ Using a Single Step Solution Combustion Synthesis for Bifunction Oxy... by Anchu Ashok (14152020)

“…XRD and TEM analysis indicate small crystallites of MnCo₂O₄ forming ultra-thin layer of irregular structures that lead to porous morphology. A slightly larger crystallite size was observed for MnCr₂O₄. …”

Mechanisms behind the immediate effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery on type 2 diabetes by Roland E Allen (19187023)

“…Even in the most favorable scenario, with maximal values for (i) the increase in active GLP-1 concentration and (ii) the effect of GLP-1 on insulin production, enhancement of GLP-1 alone cannot account for the observations. I.e., the largest possible decrease in glucose predicted by the model is smaller than reported decreases, and the model predicts no decrease whatsoever in glucose ×insulin, in contrast to large observed decreases in homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). …”

Qatar’s immigrants at higher risk of diabetes by Nature Research (16552612)

“…“We are currently assessing novel tools for a larger scale, quick and non-invasive screening programme for diabetes in the Qatari population."…”

Algal-algal bioflocculation enhances the recovery efficiency of Picochlorum sp. QUCCCM130 with low auto-settling capacity by Imen Saadaoui (14159025)

“…Results showed that self-settlement capacity increased with cell size and can be indirectly related to a decreased zeta potential of larger cells which enhances the Van der Waals attractive forces. …”
