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.…”

The Impact of Voluntary Recall on the Trust of Loyal and First-Time Consumers in a High Awareness Brand After a Functional Transgression by Valeria L M A Freundt (17541786)

Predictors of Mortality in Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Regardless of Early Left Ventricular Unloading: A National Experience by Alaa Rahhal (14150403)

“…The significant positive predictors of mortality with VA-ECMO regardless of IABP in CS were CPR > 20 minutes (aOR 14.74, 95% CI 2.02-107.41; p-value= 0.008), older age (i.e., greater than 55 years) and LM disease of more than 50% stenosis were associated with a fourfold increase in the odds of mortality while on VA-ECMO. …”

The contribution of autophagy in glioblastoma multiforme cells treated with human recombinant arginase I-induced arginine deprivation. (c2018) by El Jbeily, Elie

“…Furthermore, the contribution of autophagy to arginine depletion-induced cytotoxicity in GBM cells was tested by incubating SF and U87 cells with either HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000 alone and in combination with an autophagy inhibitor (chloroquine or 3- methyladenine) at different time points. Cell death decreased when autophagy was inhibited in SF cells at late time points, thus proving its role in arginine depletion induced cell death. …”
