Differential water quality in confined and free-flowing water bodies, Lebanon by Korfali, Samira Ibrahim

“…Statistical analysis of the data revealed significant differences in water quality. The differences could be attributed to the fact that whereas the Qaraaoun reservoir is receiving domestic waste discharges that lead to an increase in the CO2 content and a pH decrease, the Nahr-Ibrahim River is influenced by agricultural runoffs and industrial discharges that increase the pH values. …”

Endoscopic ultrasound for early stage esophageal adenocarcinoma by Azar, Riad

“…Multivariate analysis identified marked/intense uptake on staging PET (odds ratio, 5.76, 95%; confidence interval, 1.25 to 26.52; p = 0.021) to be a factor predictive of upstaging of cT1-2N0 tumors. Conclusions Current staging techniques are inadequate for predicting T1-2N0 disease in esophageal adenocarcinoma. …”
