Selective induction of apoptosis in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by pristimerin through dual PI3K/AKT pathway inhibition and ROS generation حسب Shilpa Kuttikrishnan (3520079)

"…In this study, we demonstrate that Prist effectively inhibits the proliferation of T-ALL cell lines (Jurkat and Molt 4) by inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and triggering intrinsic and extrinsic caspase-dependent apoptosis. Prist significantly increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and depletes glutathione (GSH), leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cytochrome c release. …"

Outcomes of drain versus no drain in total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study حسب Anas Albasha (17765964)

"…Moreover, tranexamic acid (TXA) use (n = 106) in surgery reduced hospital stays, tourniquet time, drain output, and increased pre- and postoperative haemoglobin and hematocrit levels compared to no TXA group (n = 156) (p < 0.05, z-score reported).…"

The effects of Organisational Ambidexterity and New Public Management on Public Sector Service Quality through Service Innovation حسب ALKAABI, SEEMA SAADY
