Postprandial Insulin and Triglyceride Concentrations Are Suppressed in Response to Breaking Up Prolonged Sitting in Qatari Females by Bryna C. R. Chrismas (6820142)

“…A fasting venous blood sample was obtained at baseline (-10-min) followed by samples at 0.5-, 1-, 2-, 3-, 3.5-, 4-, and 5-h. Postprandial cardiometabolic variables (insulin, glucose, triglycerides) were calculated as derivatives of total area under the curve [AUC; total (tAUC), net incremental (iAUC) and positive AUC].…”

Knowledge and Anxiety about COVID-19 in the State of Qatar, and the Middle East and North Africa Region—A Cross Sectional Study by Sathyanarayanan Doraiswamy (4091776)

“…A reverse effect was observed for anxiety, with a higher proportion of very anxious (or really frightened) respondents among the general public compared to healthcare workers (27.5% vs. 11.5%, p < 0.0001). A higher proportion of the general public tended to overestimate their chance of dying if they become ill with COVID-19, with 251 (18.7%) reporting the chance of dying (once COVID-19 positive) to be ≥25% versus 19 (5.9%) of healthcare workers (p < 0.0001). …”

Synthetic Cannabinoid AB-FUBINACA Negatively Impacted the Male Fertility and Induced Testicular Toxicity by Ayman Alzu’bi (13162392)

“…These findings were associated with higher level of oxidative stress (GP91 expression and malondialdehyde level) and elevated expression of key regulators of apoptosis (Bax and caspase-3) as well as reduced expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes SDHB (II), UQCRC2 (III), and ATP5a (V) in the testicular tissue.</p><h3 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">From these findings, it can be concluded that exposure to AB-FUBINACA can interfere with the normal physiology and functioning of the male reproductive organs. …”
