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)

“…Through an experimental study 2 (company’s response: passive strategy; voluntary product recall) × 2 (relationship: loyal; first-time) × between-subjects design, the findings indicate that after a high awareness brand transgression, loyal consumers perceive greater competence, integrity, and benevolence in the brand than first-time consumers. …”

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. …”

Competition, regulation, and systemic risk in dual banking systems by Indria Ernaningsih (17871056)

“…Our results also reveal a non-linear relationship between competition and systemic risk. Specifically, greater competition leads to increased systemic stability, but beyond a certain threshold, higher competition exacerbates banks' systemic risk. …”

Vocal Changes in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by Hannoun, Antoine

“…There was no statistically significant difference in the acoustic parameters except for an increase in the relative average perturbation (P value = 0.035) and a decrease in maximum phonation time (P value = 0.001) in patients with PCOS. …”
