Caffeine use or napping to enhance repeated sprint performance after partial sleep deprivation: Why not both? by Romdhani, Mohamed

“…Purpose: To compare the effect of a 20-minute nap opportunity (N20), a moderate dose of caffeine (CAF; 5 mg·kg-1), or a moderate dose of caffeine before N20 (CAF+N) as possible countermeasures to the decreased performance and the partial sleep deprivation-induced muscle damage. …”

Molecular dynamics of CH4/CO2 on calcite for enhancing gas recovery by Carchini, Giuliano

“…These results highlight how the CO2 geometry of adsorption is well defined and characterized by strong interaction, while methane adsorption is quite loose and depicts a very dynamic picture. Focusing on the effect of pressure, RDF peaks intensities increase, although this effect is limited to the 1-5 MPa range. …”

CLINICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF GENETIC AND NON-GENETIC FACTORS ON INR NORMALIZATION IN PRE-OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF WARFARIN PATIENTS by ELJILANY, ISLAM AHMED SAYED AHMED

“…To optimize the period of preprocedural warfarin interruption to decrease the incidence of bleeding in case of bridging and the incidence of thromboembolism in case of non-bridging, a study was conducted to determine the influence of CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, FII, and FVII genetic polymorphisms and non-genetic factors on INR decline in a cohort of Arabs undergoing a procedure that requires warfarin interruption and developing an algorithm to tailor the duration of warfarin interruption before the procedure. …”

Dispatchable capacity optimization strategy for battery swapping and charging station aggregators to participate in grid operations by Mingze, Zhang

“…Also, the aggregator does not worsen the original power load while meeting the EV swapping demand and can decrease the daily load fluctuations by 0.65% and 12.89%, reduce the peak–valley difference by 5.81% and 7.80%, and increase the load rate by 3.67% and 4.08% in working and non-working day situations through providing the dynamic dispatchable capacity for the grid.…”

Prophylactic antibiotics for preventing genital tract infection in women undergoing surgical procedures for incomplete abortion: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized... by Islam, Nazmul

“…Pooled estimates showed the risk of GTI following surgical procedures after incomplete abortion was significantly lower among those who had prophylactic antibiotics (RR=0.72; 95%CI 0.58-0.90; I =49%). There was no significant effect of antibiotics in women in low and middle income countries (3 studies, 3,579 participants, RR= 0.90; 95%CI 0.50-1.62; I =63%), while it was clinically and statistically significant among women high income countries (21 studies, 12,599 participants, RR=0.67; 95%CI 0.53-0.84; I =44%), with strong level of evidence as assessed by GRADE. …”
