Role of Edge Groups in Defining the Stability of Aromatic Molecules Under Electron Irradiation حسب Y. Tong (18394389)

"…<p dir="ltr">Electron irradiation is known to be an important physical tool in tuning the properties of self-assembled organic molecules. Here, we use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements to study the effect of electron bombardment on the structural properties of dithiol aromatic molecules, where the sulfur atoms are either in direct conjugation with phenyl rings (case of Biphenyl-4,4′-dithiol, BPN) or separated by a methylene group (case of 5,5′-bis(mercaptomethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine, BPD). …"

Hypospadias Reconstruction Training: Development of an Ex-Vivo Model for Objective Evaluation of Surgical Skills حسب Abbas, Tariq

"…ResultsThe course included 18 participants (10 female, 8 males; average age 40.18 ± 8.46 years) categorized as novice (n = 10, <3 years’ experience), intermediate (n = 5, 3-5 years), and expert (n = 3, >5 years). Video evaluations did not reveal significant differences due to short-term training. …"

A single-institution review of 157 patients presenting with benign and malignant tumors of the ampulla of Vater حسب Azar, Riad

"…For ampullary adenocarcinoma postoperative survival rates are rising. Recent series report 5-year postoperative survival rates of 53–68%.7 Successful endoscopic removal of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, in situ tumors, and focal T1 cancers has been reported, but is not widely practiced.8, 9 and 10 For patients with slow-growing benign tumors, endoscopic resection is an attractive alternative with decreased cost and morbidity.11 and 12 Endoscopic papillectomy has a recurrence rate of 30% with 13.9% of endoscopically treated patients subsequently undergoing follow-up surgery. …"

Optimal management, prevalence, and clinical behavior of saddle pulmonary embolism: A systematic review and meta-analysis حسب 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.…"

The effects of long-term testosterone treatment on endocrine parameters in hypogonadal men: 12-year data from a prospective controlled registry study حسب Aksam Yassin (14779204)

"…Blood samples were taken at every other visit to measure levels of total T (TT), calculated free T, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), estradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), progesterone and prolactin. We observed an increase in TT of 15.5 nmol/L (<i>p</i> < 0.0001), a reduction in SHBG of 10.5 nmol/L (<i>p</i> < 0.0001) and an increase in calculated free T of 383.04 pmol/L (<i>p</i> < 0.0001) over the study period. …"
