Global, regional, and national mortality among young people aged 10–24 years, 1950–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 by Joseph L Ward (9715619)

“…Annual percentage decrease in all-cause mortality rate since 1990 in adolescents aged 15–19 years was 1·3% in males and 1·6% in females, almost half that of males aged 1–4 years (2·4%), and around a third less than in females aged 1–4 years (2·5%). …”

Influence of proton pump inhibitors on gastritis diagnosis and pathologic gastric changes by Nasser, Soumana C.

“…Multivariate analysis has also demonstrated that in the presence of previous PPI exposure (OR = 0.217, 95%CI: 0.123-0.385), GERD (OR = 0.317, 95%CI: 0.132-0.763, P = 0.01), alcohol intake (OR = 0.396, 95%CI: 0.195-0.804, P = 0.01), the detection of H. pylori was less likely. Chronic use of PPIs may mask H. pylori infections promoting the diagnosis of non-H. pylori gastritis and leads to a significant drop in H. pylori densities and to an increased risk of intestinal metaplasia. …”

Lower limb EMG activation during reduced gravity running on an incline. Speed matters more than hills irrespective of indicated bodyweight by Rod Whiteley (14150088)

“…Subject responses were quite variable for sEMG, less so for cadence. For the conditions examined, increasing running speed induced the largest changes in EMG of all muscles examined with smaller changes seen for manipulations of inclination and bodyweight.…”

Computation of Power Extraction From Photovoltaic Arrays Under Various Fault Conditions by Azhar Ul-Haq (16875948)

“…Although, commonly used Total-Cross-Tied (TCT) scheme in PV arrays is considered instrumental for reducing power losses there lies a great scope to evaluate power extraction through reconfiguration of modules with different PV materials. …”

Ablation of LAT2 Transporter Causes Intramuscular Glutamine Accumulation and Inhibition of Fasting‐Induced Proteolysis by Meritxell Espino‐Guarch (22565774)

“…Further, chronic Gln accumulation and decreased proteolysis were found to induce the early onset of an age‐related muscle phenotype.…”

Positron annihilation doppler broadening spectroscopy of carbon black and carbon black-filled rubber polymers by Semaan, Mars E.

“…This behavior can be understood as due to a combination of reduction in positronium formation as carbon black is added to the polymer, and the decrease in positron annihilation with valence electrons in the sample as the amount of carbon black-polymer links are increased. No effect on the S parameter is observed for sample mixing times longer than 45 seconds. …”
