Processing Effects on the Oxytetracycline and Tylosin Antibiotic Residues in Middle Eastern Dairy Products by Saidy, Liz

“…Pressing and salting did not have any significant effect on OTC and TYL, while cheese boiling in making Halloum significantly decreased the concentration of both antibiotics. The highest concentrations of OTC were measured in curd-based cheeses that did not undergo boiling (Baladi and Akkawi), making them of higher risk in this regard. …”

Diabetes-related cardiovascular and economic burden in patients hospitalized for heart failure in the US: a recent temporal trend analysis from the National Inpatient Sample by Menatalla Mekhaimar (14103708)

“…In patients with HF and DM, mean (SD) age slightly decreased from 71 (13) to 70 (13) years, in which 47.5% were males in 2005 as compared with 52% in 2014 (p trend < 0.001 for both). …”

CRISPR-Cas Controls Cryptic Prophages by Sooyeon Song (4891132)

“…Similar results were obtained by inactivating CRISPR-Cas by deleting the entire 13 spacer region (CRISPR array); hence, CRISPR-Cas serves to inhibit the remaining deleterious effects of these cryptic prophages, most likely through CRISPR array-derived crRNA binding to cryptic prophage mRNA rather than through cleavage of cryptic prophage DNA, i.e., self-targeting. …”

Removal of copper ions from aqueous solution using NaOH-treated rice husk by Shagufta Zafar (10027380)

“…The chemical treatment was carried out using NaOH solution and the effect of contact time (tc), adsorbent dosage (Dad), initial Cu (II) concentration ([Cu]i), and temperature (T) on the percentage removals of Cu (II) (%RCu) were investigated. Different analytical techniques (FTIR, SEM, and EDX) were used to confirm the adsorption (ads) of Cu (II) onto the TRH. …”

Cost-benefit analysis of antimicrobial stewardship program in a cancer setting in Qatar by Dina Abushanab (10696501)

“…Premature ASP was defined as the 12 months following the establishment of the ASP (May 2015-April 2016), while mature ASP was the most recent 12 months of ASP implementation at the National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR) (February 2019-January 2020). Patient records were retrospectively reviewed. The total economic benefit of the ASP maturity was calculated as the sum of the cost savings and the cost avoidance associated with the service minus the operational cost.3 Cost savings were the reduction in therapy cost linked to decreased antimicrobial consumption and resource utilization. …”
