Strategies to manage hepatitis C virus infection disease burden – volume 3 حسب Mokhbat, J. E.

"…A 90% reduction in total HCV infections within 15 years is feasible in most countries studied, but it required a coordinated effort to introduce harm reduction programmes to reduce new infections, screening to identify those already infected and treatment with high cure rate therapies. This suggests that increased capacity for screening and treatment will be critical in many countries. …"

Alterations in blood Lipoprotein & Apolipoprotein B profile induced by moderate acute & chronic alcohol intake in the rat model. (c2002) حسب Berberi, Rania

"…Therefore, despite reported correlations between the obtained increases in chylomicron and VLDL plasma concentrations and atherogenesis, this study suggests that the reduced amount of cholesterol per newly secreted VLDL particle and their increased catabolic rate will ultimately lead to a reduced total and LDL cholesterol concentrations in the fasted state. …"

Short-term outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with or without lateral tenodesis or anterolateral ligament reconstruction: a retrospective cohort حسب Ashraf T. Hantouly (14150319)

"…However, there was a significant decrease in postoperative flexion in the ACL and ALL reconstruction group by a mean of 22° (95% CI − 40.7 − 3.4; P = 0.02) at 6 weeks compared to ACLR alone, which was not evident on later follow-ups.…"

Exploring carbon dioxide sequestration in desalination reject brine via NaOH reaction: A kinetics study حسب Nafis Mahmud (14150004)

"…The experimental data showed that the overall rate of CO₂ conversion is equal to the sum of the rates observed for Ca2+ and Mg²+ carbonation reactions and increases proportionally with the increase in CO₂ concentration. …"

Quantitative Compressibility Effects in Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Circular Contacts حسب Habchi, W.

"…It is also observed that the relative errors on central film thicknesses induced by the use of the Dowson and Higginson relationship for compressibility increase with load and temperature and are very little affected by mean entrainment speed. …"

Glycemic Index of commonly consumed Lebanese mixed meals and desserts حسب Daher, C. F.

"…The determination of the Glycemic Index (GI) and Load (GL) for mixed meals serves as a dietetic tool in meal planning to reinforce the benefits of low GI meals and decrease the physiological effects of high GI meals. …"

CFD modeling of particle settling in drilling fluids: Impact of fluid rheology and particle characteristics حسب Abdelrahman M. Awad (16932519)

"…This is more important for small particles where the Newtonian behavior is dominant and particle-induced shear rate is low. Ellipsoidal cuttings exhibited significantly greater resistance to settling as compared to spherical particles, mainly due to the increased drag force. …"

Anteriolateral versus anterior–posterior electrodes in external cardioversion of atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of clinical trials حسب Karam R. Motawea (13954362)

"…The pooled analysis showed a statistically significant association between anterior–lateral electrode and increased cardioversion rate of AF (odds ratio [OR] = 1.40, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02–1.92, <i>p</i> = .04). …"

Longitudinal Study of Hypertensive Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus حسب Bahous, Sola Aoun

"…Using cross-sectional regression models, a significant association was observed between higher education levels, lower levels of anxiety and depression, and reduced overall mortality in diabetic hypertensive subjects, while impaired renal function, a history of stroke and myocardial infarction, and increased alcohol and tobacco consumption were significantly associated with increased mortality. …"

Carbon dioxide insufflation during ERCP for reduction of postprocedure pain حسب Azar, Riad

"…Similarly, the incidence of any pain at 1 hour post-ERCP was higher with air than with CO2 (48% vs 28%, P Z .04). The mean increase in waist circumference was greater with air than with CO2 (2.1 cm vs 0.3 cm, P Z .003). …"

Parametric Enhancement of a Window-Windcatcher for Enhanced Thermal Comfort and Natural Ventilation حسب Laith M. Obeidat (18421461)

"…The actual ventilation rate increased by approximately 13.2% compared with the baseline design of the windcatcher (<i>ϴ</i> and D_W−f equal to 40° and 45 cm, respectively); this corresponds to an increase of approximately 8.6% in the actual-to-required ventilation rate, according to the ASHRAE standards.…"

A discrete-time stochastic iterative learning control algorithm for a class of nonlinear systems حسب Saab, S. S.

"…The author also shows that in presence of measurement noise, the state error covariance matrix converges to zero as the number of learning iterations increases. Finally, a numerical example is given that compares the performance of the proposed algorithm to a conventional ILC algorithm.…"

The effect of vancomycin doses greater than 2 grams on serum creatinine and vancomycin trough levels حسب Mansour, Hanine

"…The use of doses greater than 2 grams of IV vancomycin did not show a statistically significance increase in serum creatinine. The two subjects who did have a significant increase in serum creatinine were receiving concomitant nephrotoxins. …"

Channel Network Control on Seasonal Lake Area Dynamics in Arctic Deltas حسب Tejedor, Alejandro

"…This pattern of shrinkage is predominantly attributed to a deeper active layer enhancing near-surface connectivity and storage and greater vegetation density closer to the channels leading to increased evapotranspiration rates. This shrinkage signal, easily extracted from remote sensing observations, may offer the means to constrain estimates of lacustrine methane emissions and to develop process-based estimates of depth to permafrost on arctic deltas.…"
