Evapotranspiration and water availability response to climate change in the Middle East and North Africa by Salah Basem Ajjur (14150967)

“…Outcomes reveal that the MENA region is indeed vulnerable to a surge in temperature, which can increase evapotranspiration losses and decrease water availability. Under the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP2-4.5), the potential evapotranspiration (PET) has been projected to increase throughout the MENA region by up to 0.37 mm per year during the middle of the twenty-first century (2021–2050) and by up to 0.51 mm per year during the end of the twenty-first century (2071–2100). …”

Guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain by Riachi, N.

“…The expert panel recommended pregabalin, gabapentin and secondary amine tricyclic antidepressants (nortriptyline and desipramine) as first-line treatments for peripheral NeP. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, tramadol and controlled-release opioid analgesics were recommended as second-line treatments. …”

Targeting acute myeloid leukemia cells with novel photosensitive ruthenium-based metal-organic compounds. (c2015) by Azar, Daniel Fadi

“…Furthermore, we have attempted to examine the photochemical potential of our metal-organic compound model by combining L-II and L-III in the same metal complex, thus generating four final complexes with differing net charges (from +2 to -4), and examining their activities on a panel of AML cell lines with or without exposure to blue light. Of the four final complexes Ru-II3, Ru-II2-III, Ru-II-III2 and Ru-III3, only Ru-II3 and Ru-II2-III have shown significant activity against all tested cell lines in the dark, whereas photo-activation against ML2 has shown a marked increase of potency of all four complexes, even those shown to be biologically inert in the dark, reaching IC50 values in the nM range. …”
