Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associated with Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality? by Xiahui Ge (437665)

“…<div><p>Background</p><p>Studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and future risks of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate whether OSA is an independent predictor for future cardiovascular and all-cause mortality using prospective observational studies.…”

Supplementary Material for: The reduced gray matter volume and functional connectivity of the cerebellum in T2DM with high insulin resistance by Zhang H.-Y. (17671335)

“…However, the specific structural or functional changes in the cerebellum related to T2DM remain unclear, and the association between cerebellar alterations, insulin resistance, cognition, and emotion is yet to be determined. Methods: We investigated neuropsychological performance, structural, and functional changes in specific cerebellar subregions in 43 T2DM patients with high insulin resistance (T2DM-highIR), 72 T2DM patients with low insulin resistance (T2DM-lowIR), and 50 controls. …”

Microgravity modelling by 3D-clinorotation affects actin cytoskeleton, ROS production, photosynthesis and metabolome of Arabidopsis plants by Gregory Pozhvanov (8014751)

“…<p>Microgravity conditions are required to study plant performance in space and are modelled on the Earth’s ground using 3D-clinorotation, under which growing plants are constantly rotated around two orthogonal axes. We have applied the special ionic exchanger polyacrylonitrile fiber substrate Panion-110/320 to facilitate successful cultivation of <i>Arabidopsis </i>plants during the whole ontogenesis under 3D-clinorotation up to the formation of viable seeds. 3D-clinorotation caused a transient (≈ 20 h) delay in biomass growth, accompanied by a rise in total H₂O₂content in 10–14 day old seedlings. …”
