Investigation of the Effect of Imatinib and Hydroxyurea Combination Therapy on Hematological Parameters and Gene Expression in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Patients by Esraa K. Al-Amleh (16023071)

“…Furthermore, CIP2A gene expression revealed that IM and (HU + IM) had the same therapeutic effect and were more successful in CML patients than HU alone. With regards to the treatment effect on hematological parameters, notably in CML patients in later stages, the combination therapy (HU + IM) raised lymphocyte count, indicating a greater response to the treatment. …”

Essays on Digital Financial Inclusion and Financial Resilience for Sustainable Development in Sub-Saharan Africa by Jamila Abubakar (22653059)

Biomarkers show promise for treatment of heart valve disease by Nature Research (16552612)

“…The body’s main blood supply comes from the aorta, which receives oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart. More than 2% of people over the age of 65 are afflicted with a narrowing and calcification of the valve that separates this main artery from its heart chamber. …”

Adaptation of a Mice Doppler Echocardiography Platform to Measure Cardiac Flow Velocities for Embryonic Chicken and Adult Zebrafish by Fatiha M. Benslimane (6695087)

“…Alternatively, there are more economical single-mode echocardiography platforms. …”

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

“…Considering the combining role of the RH and chemical composition in aerosol phase state, the BF decreased monotonically with increasing hygroscopic growth factor (GF), and the BF was ∼ 0 when GF was larger than 1.15. …”

Temporal patterns of cancer burden in Asia, 1990–2019: a systematic examination for the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study by Rajesh, Sharma

“…Between 1990 and 2019, deaths due to 17 of the 29 cancers either doubled or more, and 20 of the 29 cancers underwent an increase of 150% or more in terms of new cases. …”

Tailoring the deposition of MoSe₂ on TiO₂ nanorods arrays via radiofrequency magnetron sputtering for enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting by Yahia H. Ahmad (14340210)

“…Compared to pure TiO₂ NRs, the heterojunction nanostructured assembly displayed excellent spectral and photoelectrochemical properties, including more surface oxygen vacancies, enhanced visible-light absorption, higher photocurrent response, and decreased charge transfer resistance. …”

The Trace Element Composition of Size Fractionated Suspended Particulate Matter Samples from the Qatari EEZ of the Arabian Gulf: The Role of Atmospheric Dust by Oguz Yigiterhan (14151006)

“…We found that Ca was removed and that the metal/aluminum (Me / Al) ratios for most elements increased after leaching because the change in sample mass resulting from the leach was more important than the loss of metals solubilized by the leach. …”

Caloric restriction reduces trabecular bone loss during aging and improves bone marrow adipocyte endocrine function in male mice by Charlotte Rinne (18766966)

“…Cortical bone, however, was decreased in young mice on CR and remained reduced in aged mice, irrespective of dietary intervention. …”

A Scoping Review to Find Out Worldwide COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Its Underlying Determinants by Md. Rafiul Biswas (17293966)

“…Sometimes, several studies had been performed in the same country, and it was observed that vaccine hesitancy was high earlier and decreased over time with the hope of vaccine efficacy. …”

Trace element composition of size-fractionated suspended particulate matter samples from the Qatari Exclusive Economic Zone of the Arabian Gulf: the role of atmospheric dust by Oguz Yigiterhan (14151006)

“…As expected, we found that Ca was removed in Qatari dust; however, the concentrations (ppm) for most elements actually increased after leaching because the reduction in sample mass resulting from the removal of CaCO₃ by the leach was more important than the loss of metals solubilized by the leach. …”

Genetic Deletion of DNAJB3 Using CRISPR-Cas9, Produced Discordant Phenotypes by Shadi Nejat (19457212)

“…We hypothesized that mice lacking DNAJB3 would be more prone to high-fat (HF)-diet-induced increase in body weight and body fat, inflammation, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance as compared with wild-type (WT) littermates. …”
