Type 2 Diabetes Coagulopathy Proteins May Conflict With Biomarkers Reflective of COVID-19 Severity by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…A hyperinsulinemic clamp was performed and normoglycemia induced in T2D [4.5 ± 0.07 mmol/L (81 ± 1.2 mg/dl)] for 1-h, following which blood glucose was decreased to ≤2.0 mmol/L (36 mg/dl). Proteomic analysis for the complement and coagulation cascades were measured using Slow Off-rate Modified Aptamer (SOMA)-scan.…”

Immunoprofile of childhood diabetes by Meritxell Espino-Guarch (15430868)

“…Associated with these findings, anti-inflammatory Treg cytokines including IL-10 were decreased in T2D patients and elevated plasma levels of IL-17, which contributes to the insulin resistance and inflammation were observed.…”

Masked phenomenon: renal and cardiovascular complications; review and updates by Elmukhtar Habas (14777677)

“…Normal blood pressure should be 120/80 mmHg, which generally decreases when a person is sleeping or sitting. High blood pressure or hypertension occurs when the blood pressure is too high. …”

Breaking the barriers towards large-scale microalgae-based bio-hydrogen production by Isra Koko (22631396)

“…Results showed that cultivation dominates the process cost: typical biomass costs are $3.54–$5.78/kg in tubular PBRs versus $3.42–$4.13/kg in ORPs; an automation/modularization case decreased microalgae production cost from $89 to $16/kg at ∼200 t/yr. …”

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO₂ reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee Yoon (7179263)

“…<p dir="ltr">This study presents theoretical insight into the mechanism of the CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) to formic acid (HCOOH) on Bi (0 1 2) surfaces in the presence of alkali metal cations (M⁺: Cs⁺, K⁺, and Li⁺) and/or halide anions (X⁻: Cl⁻, Br⁻, and I⁻) using density functional theory (DFT). The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl⁻ > Br⁻ > I⁻). …”
