“…The preoperative mean body mass index (BMI) (45.60 ± 6.50 kg/m2) decreased at year 1 (30.04 ± 4.96 kg/m2, P=0.001) and was maintained up to 9 years (30.20 ± 3.92 kg/m2, P = 0.001). …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…The building envelope thermal characteristics studied represent houses built in different periods from 1950 to high energy-efficient buildings in Montreal under different weather generations: typical historical (1961–1990), recent observational (2016), and typical future years 2030 (2026–2045) and 2090 (2080–2099) generated based on RCP-4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. The results showed that the high energy-efficient buildings can be more resilient to climate change than old buildings if adequate ventilation is provided, where the decrease of window and wall U-value, and SHGC all contribute to the decrease in indoor temperature. …”

Underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minorities in cascade testing for hereditary cancer syndromes by Muhammad Danyal Ahsan (14488278)

“…<p dir="ltr">Cascade genetic testing is the process of extending genetic testing to at-risk blood relatives of individuals (called “probands”) found to carry cancer predisposition germline pathogenic gene variants. Cascade testing is critical as relatives found to carry a pathogenic gene variant have the opportunity to pursue targeted cancer risk reduction and early detection, decreasing cancer-associated morbidity and mortality. …”
