The Effects of Class IV Hemorrhagic Hypotensive Shock and Its Resuscitation with Fluids and Adjuvant Vasopressors or Cellular Energy Replenishment on the Splanchnic Microcirculatio... by Zakaria, El Rasheid

“…This was followed by phase-2 of uncontrolled hemorrhage as induced by transection of the splenic parenchyma at the two ends of the organ and severing one of the branches of the splenic artery. The transected organ was returned to the abdominal cavity for free arterial and venous bleeding until class IV hemorrhage is achieved [defined by persistent mean arterial pressure, MAP < 40 mmHg, and a shock index (ratio of heart rate and systolic arterial pressure), SI ≥ 5 for successive 10 minutes during the period of active uncontrolled bleeding]. …”

A rare loss-of-function genetic mutation suggest a role of dermcidin deficiency in hidradenitis suppurativa pathogenesis by Tricarico, Paola Maura

“…Focusing on rare damaging variants, we identified a rare insertion of one nucleotide (c.225dupA:p.A76Sfs*21) in the DCD gene encoding for the antimicrobial peptide dermcidin (DCD) that was shared by the proband, his affected father and his 11-years old daughter. …”

Evaluation of Apoptotic, Antiproliferative, and Antimigratory Activity of Origanum syriacum against Metastatic Colon Cancer Cells by Aldisi S.S.

“…OSEE showed a concentration-dependent apoptotic and antiproliferative effect on LoVo and SW620 cells at 500 μg mL−1 or higher after 48 h of exposure. Additionally, OSEE inhibited the migration of both LoVo and SW620 cells by decreasing (50–75%) wound-healing capacity at 500 and 1,000 μg mL−1. …”

The cost associated with the development of the antimicrobial stewardship program in the adult general medicine setting in Qatar by Abushanab, Dina

“…The operational costs decreased with the developed ASP. Whereas antimicrobial consumption and resource utilisation, and their associated costs, appear to have declined with the developed ASP, with a cost saving of QAR458 (US$125) per 100-patient beds, the avoided cost was negative, by QAR4,807 (US$1,317) per 100-patient beds, adding to a total QAR4,224 (US$1,160) increase in the 100-patient beds cost after ASP development. …”
