Decreased number of acute appendicitis cases in pediatric population during the COVID-19 pandemic: Any link? by Zvizdic, Zlatan

“…Snapiri et al. also reported delays in diagnosing AA in seven pediatric patients having complicated forms of AA. We believe that other factors may contribute to the decrease including various infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites) whose exposure in the pediatric population and a potential link to AA have been proposed. …”

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) promotes survival of lymphoma cells via activation of WNT/B-catenin and AKT/GSK3B proliferative signaling by Chung, Jihyun

“…We show that PRMT5 stimulates WNT/B-CATENIN signaling through direct epigenetic silencing of pathway antagonists, AXIN2 and WIF1, and indirect activation of AKT/GSK3 signaling.PRMT5 inhibition with either shRNA-mediated knockdown or a specific small molecule PRMT5 inhibitor, CMP-5, not only leads to derepression of WNT antagonists and decreased levels of active phospho-AKT (Thr-450 and Ser-473) and inactive phospho- GSK3B (Ser-9) but also results in decreased transcription of WNT/B-CATENIN target genes, CYCLIN D1, c-MYC, and SURVIVIN, and enhanced lymphoma cell death. …”

Corrosion behavior of API-X120 carbon steel alloy in a GTL F-T process water environment at low COD concentration by Ewis, Dina

“…The effect of temperature, time and rotation speed of FT-GTL process water on the corrosion rate of API X-120 carbon steel was investigated. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization techniques were used to determine the carbon steel corrosion rate under temperatures ranging from 293 to 323 K and rotation speed of 0, 500, 1000, 2000 rpm when the immersion time was 0.5, 1, and 2 h. …”
