Walking around the preferred speed: examination of metabolic, perceptual, spatiotemporal and stability parameters by Lina Majed (7485380)

“…Results indicated a significant main effect of speed on all studied variables. While metabolic, perceptual and spatiotemporal values were sensitive to the smallest change in speed (i.e., 0.5 km·h⁻¹⁾, a significant increase in the rate of carbohydrate oxidation and decrease in % fat oxidation were only observed at speeds above PWS. …”

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

“…Ex vivo incubation of LAT2KO muscle with rapamycin recovered proteolysis function, demonstrating a mTORC1‐dependent pathway. Decreased proteolysis in LAT2KO animals was associated with increased mTORC1 translocation to the lysosome (mTORC1‐Lamp1 colocalization in fasted LAT2KO muscles was 1.23‐fold, <i>p</i> < 0.0001). …”

Distribution network line protection in the presence of distributed generation by Margossian, Harag

“…The evolution of the distribution network from a passive grid with unidirectional power flows to, in the presence of distributed generation (DGs), an active grid with bidirectional power flows can lead to some technical challenges in its operation as well as some opportunities for greater control and grid support. This dissertation studies the impact of high levels of penetration of DGs into the power system on the operation of distribution network line protection. …”

Effectiveness of Positron Emission Tomography for Predicting Chemotherapy Response in Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases by Glazer, Evan

“…For example, a few years ago an extrahepatic metastasis effectively eliminated surgical resection, but a combination of chemotherapeutic options and surgical techniques has expanded the indications for resection and increased the population of patients who may benefit.1,2 Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has increased the resectability rate by 11% to 37%.1 Unfortunately, greater than 80% of patients undergoing hepatic resection will have recurrences, mostly within the first 2 years.2 Nonetheless, the only hope for cure is resection, and prior surgical dogma based on the number of lesions, size of the tumor-free resection margin, and presence of resectable extrahepatic disease must be questioned.3- 5 The current standard approach to surgical planning is contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for specific tumor characteristics or contraindications to CT.6 Several series showed that focal extrahepatic disease, an isolated pulmonary lesion, can be safely resected, with 5-year survival rates of 29% to 58%.7,8 In 1 series,7 17 of 30 patients required 3 or more resections. …”

Qatari Genotype May Contribute to Complications in Type 2 Diabetes by Youssra Dakroury (9991407)

“…For patients with diabetes, hypertension (p<0.035) and retinopathy (p<0.016) were greater in the Q3 ancestry. Conclusion. These data suggest that the genotype may contribute to complication risk, as exemplified by the increase in hypertension and retinopathy in the Q3 ancestry, though the SLMAP allele was not implicated; however, diabetes prevalence did not differ between the four Qatari ancestries.…”
