Trends in prescribing and outcomes in obese versus non-obese patients receiving rivaroxaban therapy: an observational study using real-world data by Majdoleen Alalawneh (13961580)

“…Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that the likelihood of all-cause mortality was significantly higher in overweight and all categories of obese patients compared to underweight patients: overweight (OR: 5.3, 95% CI: 2.3–11.9, p< 0.001); obese class 1 (OR: 5.4, 95% CI: 2.3 – 12.2, p< 0.001); obese class 2 (OR: 6.5, 95% CI: 2.7 – 15.6, p< 0.001); and obese class 3 (OR: 3.7, 95% CI: 1.6 – 8.7, p = 0.003).…”

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments associated to Stickler syndrome in a tertiary eye care center in Saudi Arabia by Alshahrani, Saeed T.

Enhancing the electrocoagulation process for harvesting marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.) using interdigitated electrodes by Wardan A. Khatib (17302747)

“…In this study, 10 min electrolysis time was found to be sufficient to harvest 82.4% microalgae with 1 cm electrode distance and 50 mA/cm2 current density. Furthermore, decreasing the electrode distance to 0.5 cm increased the algal harvesting efficiency to 96.18%. …”

Resveratrol-Elicited PKC Inhibition Counteracts NOX-Mediated Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Human Retinal Endothelial Cells Exposed to High Glucose by Roberta Giordo (299595)

“…Primary Human Retinal Endothelial Cells (HRECs) were either pre-treated for 24 h with 1 µM resveratrol or left untreated, then glucose (30 mM) was applied at 3-day intervals for 10 days. qRT-PCR and ELISA were used to detect mRNA or protein expression of endothelial markers (CD31, CDH5, vWF) or mesenchymal markers (VIM, αSMA and collagen I), respectively. …”

The Effect of EVA and TPU Custom Foot Orthoses on Running Economy, Running Mechanics, and Comfort by Ken Van Alsenoy (14150559)

“…Albeit not reaching statistical significance (P = 0.11, η² = 0.12), RE on average improved in EVA (+2.1±4.8% and +2.9±4.9%) and TPU (+0.9±5.9% and +0.9±5.3%) compared to CON at LS and HS, respectively. …”

Divergent Biochemical Properties and Disparate Impact of Arrhythmogenic Calmodulin Mutations on Zebrafish Cardiac Function by Sahar I. Da'as (17128747)

“…In cardiac muscle, CaM modulates directly or indirectly the activity of several proteins that play a key role in excitation‐contraction coupling (ECC), such as ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2), l‐type Ca²⁺ (Ca_v1.2), sodium (NaV1.5) and potassium (KV7.1) channels. …”

Angiotensin II AT1 receptor internalization, translocation and de novo synthesis modulate cytosolic and nuclear calcium in human vascular smooth muscle cells by Sleiman, S.

“…Overexpression of hAT1R and hAT1R GFP decreased both basal cytosolic and nuclear Ca2+. In normal hVSMCs and low hAT1R GFP overexpressing hVSMCs, Ang II (10 15 to 10 4 M) induced a dose-dependent sustained increase of [Ca]c and [Ca]n with an EC50 near 5 × 10 11 and 5 × 10 9 M, respectively. …”

Phase state of secondary organic aerosol in chamber photo-oxidation of mixed precursors by Yu Wang (12152)

“…Liquid (bounce fraction; BF < 0.2) at RH > 80 % and nonliquid behaviour (BF > 0.8) at RH < 30 % were observed, with a liquid-to-nonliquid transition with decreasing RH between 30 % and 80 %. This RH-dependent phase behaviour (RH_{BF=0.2, 0.5, 0.8}) increased towards a maximum, with an increasing organic–inorganic mass ratio (MR_org_/inorg) during SOA formation evolution in all investigated VOC systems. …”

In vitro ischemia suppresses hypoxic induction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α by inhibition of synthesis and not enhanced degradation by Sleiman, Sama F.

“…We observed ATP depletion under OGD vs. hypoxia and propose that ATP depletion enhances translational suppression, overcoming the selective synthesis of HIF concurrent with global decreases in protein synthesis in hypoxia. Taken together, these findings biochemically characterize a practical reporter for monitoring HIF-1α levels and support a novel model for HIF regulation in an in vitro model of human ischemia.…”
