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. …”

Unraveling the future productivity burden of cardiovascular disease in Qatar: Investigating the modifiable risk factors control in type 2 diabetes by Dina Abushanab (10696501)

“…The financial value of PALYs was determined based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per full-time worker (i.e. US$80,573). The base-case model estimated the productivity burden of CVD, and interventional scenarios were simulated to assess potential gains resulting from improved control of modifiable risk factors, including reduced incidence of T2D, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), decreased number of smokers, and reduced total cholesterol. …”
