The effects of long-term testosterone treatment on endocrine parameters in hypogonadal men: 12-year data from a prospective controlled registry study by 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. …”

The Impact of Sporting Events on Air Pollution: An Empirical Examination of National Football League Games by Nicholas Watanabe (19450285)

“…From this, multiple regression analysis was utilized to estimate whether the number of fans was related to changes in air pollution. (3) Results: The regression models found that Ozone and Nitrogen Dioxide levels increased as more individuals attended NFL games. Additional robustness checks and falsification tests suggest that the average NFL event results in an approximately two-percent increase in Ozone levels. (4) Conclusions: The findings from this study contribute to the literature by providing evidence that highly attended sporting events increase pollution levels in the areas near stadiums. …”

Dual Targeting of Matrix Metalloproteases and the MAPK Pathway in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells Using an MMP-activated anthrax lethal toxin (PrAgL1/LF) by Al Saneh, Ahmad

“…Inhibition of the MAPK pathway through PrAgL1/LF led to sustained activation of autophagy, starting at 24 hours and lasting up to 120 hours following treatment with PrAgL1/LF in the AML cell lines. Addition of CQ led to an increase in cell cytotoxicity following treatment with PrAgL1/LF, at all time points, indicating that the inhibition of the MAPK pathway in AML cells leads to the activation of autophagy, which in turn mediates cell death following treatment with PrAgL1/LF. …”
