Validation of a modified obstetric comorbidity index for prediction of postpartum adverse events including fetal morbidity - a retrospective cohort study from Qatar by Fouad Chaalan (22457797)

“…Around 5% of the babies had fetal distress in labour and low UA pH. For every 1 unit increase in OBCMI score, the odds of SMM increased by 44% (OR 1.44 95% CI 1.30–1.59; <i>p</i> < 0.001; AUC 0.66), and CFM increased by 28% (OR 1.28 95% CI 1.15–1.42; <i>p</i> < 0.001; AUC 0.61). …”

On the benefits of sleep by Nature Research (16552612)

“…They suggest, for example, that employers consider reducing the number of shift rotations, and increasing the time between shift changes. They also suggest that night shift workers do everything they can to ensure they get good quality sleep— such as avoiding coffee and physical exertion before sleep, wearing eye masks and ear plugs—and that they have regular health checks. …”

Highly sensitive humidity sensor based on cadmium selenide quantum dots-polymer composites: synthesis, characterization, and effect of UV/ozone treatment by Khouloud Jlassi (2583832)

“…Overall, the hydrophilicity of the developed films increases with UV radiation exposure time, leading to enhanced water vapor absorption without deforming the film surface. …”

Comparative Effect of Sodium Butyrate and Sodium Propionate on Proliferation, Cell Cycle and Apoptosis in Ovarian Cancer Cells by Danaf, Daniella

“…Our results revealed that NaB and NaP inhibit proliferation and impaired spheroid formation of SKOV-3 and PA-1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, both NaB and NaP induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, which was further supported by the downregulation of cyclin A2 and B1. …”
