Spatial, temporal, and demographic patterns in prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis... by Marissa B Reitsma (8674341)

“…Although prevalence of smoking had decreased significantly since 1990 among both males (27·5% [26·5–28·5] reduction) and females (37·7% [35·4–39·9] reduction) aged 15 years and older, population growth has led to a significant increase in the total number of smokers from 0·99 billion (0·98–1·00) in 1990. …”

Buckling and crushing behavior of foam-core hybrid composite sandwich columns under quasi-static edgewise compression by Arameh Eyvazian (16500978)

“…The results revealed that using the resin pins changes the unstable Euler buckling mode to a more stable progressive end-crushing and significantly increases the buckling load, specific buckling load, and energy absorption capability, which are highly favorable. …”

RFX3 is essential for the generation of functional human pancreatic islets from stem cells by Bushra Memon (4792767)

“…The loss of <i>RFX3</i> disrupted pancreatic endocrine gene regulation, reduced the number of hormone-secreting islet cells and impaired beta cell function and insulin secretion. Despite a significant reduction in the expression levels of pancreatic islet hormones, the pan-endocrine marker chromogranin A remained unchanged at both EP and islet stages, likely due to an increase in the abundance of enterochromaffin cells (ECs). …”
