Waterpipe Tobacco Smoke Nicotine Mediates Resilience to Chronic Stress by Activating BDNF Signaling by Khalifeh, Mohamad Rabieh

“…Even though initially, WTS decreased anxiety-like behaviors it was found that prolonged exposure after the completion of CSDS significantly induced anxiety-like behaviors. Finally, we showed that nicotine mediates the effects of WTS only on resilience to stress by increasing BDNF and TRKB levels and signaling. …”

Discovery of a novel cytokine signature for the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in young Arab children in Qatar by Wared Nour-Eldine (13904298)

“…Furthermore, we observed that elevated levels of IFN-γ (odds ratio (OR) = 1.823; 95% (confidence interval) CI = 1.206, 2.755; p = 0.004) and FGF-2 (OR = 2.528; 95% CI = 1.457, 4.385; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with increased odds of ASD, whereas reduced levels of eotaxin (OR = 0.350; 95% CI = 0.160, 0.765; p = 0.008) and HGF (OR = 0.220; 95% CI = 0.070, 0.696; p = 0.010) were significantly associated with lower odds of ASD relative to controls. …”

Effects of paternal and chronological age on BEGAIN methylation and its possible role in autism by Ramya Potabattula (4401160)

“…The brain enriched guanylate kinase associated (BEGAIN) protein is involved in protein-protein interactions at and transmission across synapses. Since several epigenome-wide methylation screens reported a paternal age effect on sperm <i>BEGAIN</i> methylation, here we confirmed a significant negative correlation between <i>BEGAIN</i> promoter methylation and paternal age, using more sensitive bisulfite pyrosequencing and a larger number of sperm samples. …”

TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVE ON ENGAGED TEACHING: STUDY FROM AN AMERICAN CURRICULUM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN DUBAI by ALBASHA, WAFA
