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. …”

A new quadratic asymmetric error correction model: does size matter? by Ayman Mnasri (16932486)

“…Although our estimation of the Okun’s Law for the USA confirms previous findings on the direction of the sign asymmetry, its reveals that the magnitude of the impact of economic downturns on unemployment decreases faster than the impact of upturns. Forecasting results show that our new model performs better than NARDL.…”

RHO A versus RHO C. (c2014) by Dimassi, Saleh B. Al

“…In this study we aim to look at the role both Rho A and Rho C play in protrusion formation where we found that upon RhoA knockdown protrusions are no longer formed, using 2D time lapse microscopy that shows the depletion of RhoA and RhoC leads to the decrease in 2D motility, RhoA knockdown decreases adhesion of cells in contrast RhoC knockdown increases adhesion of astrocytoma, and FRET based biosensors. …”
