The effect of microbiome therapy on COVID-19-induced gut dysbiosis: A narrative and systematic review by Mahmoud Yousef (9900837)

“…The majority of the investigated biotics exhibited positive effects on COVID-19 patients, manifesting in symptom alleviation, inflammation reduction, and notable decreases in mortality rates. Five studies reported death rates, showing an average mortality ranging from 0 % to 11 % in the intervention groups, as compared to 3 % to 30 % in the control groups. …”

Optimal management, prevalence, and clinical behavior of saddle pulmonary embolism: A systematic review and meta-analysis by Fateen Ata (12217764)

“…The use of TT was significantly associated with increased survival (27.1 % vs. 12.5 %, p < 0.001). In a multivariate logistic regression model, massive PE features significantly increased the odds of death (OR: 29.3, CI: 4.86–181.81, p < 0.001), whereas, treatment with anticoagulation (AC) alone (OR: 0.1, CI: 0.027–0.356, p < 0.001), TT (OR: 0.065, CI: 0.019–0.26, p < 0.001), surgical thrombectomy (ST) (OR: 0.047, CI: (0.010–0.23), p < 0.001), or percutaneous thrombectomy (PT) (OR: 0.12, CI: 0.020–0.84, p = 0.032) significantly decreased odds of death.…”

Effect of cycling and thermal control on the storage and dynamics of a 40-L monolithic adsorbed natural gas tank by Prosniewski, Matthew

“…It was found that over the course of 20 cycles, due to the retention of 1.9 kg of non-methane components by the monoliths, the useable volumetric storage dropped 16%, and the amount of gas delivered dropped 10%. A second cycling experiment found that by using thermal control while the system discharged, the mass retention decreased to 0.91 kg, and the useable volumetric storage and delivered mass only dropped 7% and 5%, respectively. …”

“…In ACG patients, medication use decreased by 67.13% at 12 months and 51.58% at 24 months (<i>p</i> < 0.001 for both), while in OAG patients, the reduction was 45.52% at 12 months and 50.19% at 24 months (<i>p</i> < 0.001). …”

The protective role of lidocaine in surgeries involving trigeminal nerve manipulation: a meta-analysis of trigeminocardiac reflex prevention by Almonzer Al-Qiami (22393303)

“…<p dir="ltr">The trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) is activated when the trigeminal nerve is manipulated through mechanical pressure, traction, or irritation. This leads to a rapid increase in parasympathetic activity, resulting in a decrease in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure, which can potentially lead to bradycardia, and cardiac arrest, with a prevalence of 14.5% during neurointerventional procedures (8). …”
