Influence of proton pump inhibitors on gastritis diagnosis and pathologic gastric changes by Nasser, Soumana C.

“…Multivariate analysis has also demonstrated that in the presence of previous PPI exposure (OR = 0.217, 95%CI: 0.123-0.385), GERD (OR = 0.317, 95%CI: 0.132-0.763, P = 0.01), alcohol intake (OR = 0.396, 95%CI: 0.195-0.804, P = 0.01), the detection of H. pylori was less likely. Chronic use of PPIs may mask H. pylori infections promoting the diagnosis of non-H. pylori gastritis and leads to a significant drop in H. pylori densities and to an increased risk of intestinal metaplasia. …”

SGLT-2 inhibitors associated euglycemic and hyperglycemic DKA in a multicentric cohort by Fateen Ata (12217764)

“…In T2D patients on SGLT2i, infection is probably associated with an increased risk of developing EuDKA. The differential role of individual SGLT2i analogs is less clear and will need exploration by more extensive prospective studies.…”

Synergistic Effect of Epigenetic Inhibitors Decitabine and Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid on Colorectal Cancer In vitro by Najem, Sonia A.

“…Furthermore, the combination therapy upregulates protein expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax, p53 and cytochrome c, downregulates the expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein and increases the cleavage of procaspases 8 and 9; this suggests that the combination activates apoptosis via both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. …”

The Impact of a Computerized Potassium Alert on Adverse Drug Events and Pharmacists' Interventions by Mansour, Hanine

“…Objective: To determine the effect of a computerized pharmacy alert on the number of adverse events related to hyperkalemia in a hospital setting and to study the impact of guidelines and education on pharmacist response to high potassium levels. Methods: An alert was built into the pharmacy computer system, which warned pharmacists about a potassium level greater than 5.1 mEq/L when processing an order that could increase potassium. …”

Dimensional and positional temporomandibular joint osseous characteristics in normodivergent facial patterns with and without temporomandibular disorders by Maged S. Alhammadi (14150757)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The glenoid fossa positions in the three orthogonal planes and height showed statistical significance between the two studied groups. The temporomandibular disorders patients showed higher horizontal and vertical condyle inclinations while anteroposterior inclination was less, and the condyle was positioned more superior, anterior, and lateral in the glenoid fossa. …”

Knee Angle Affects Posterior Chain Muscle Activation During an Isometric Test Used in Soccer Players by Paul James Read (14152221)

“…Conclusions: These results indicate that biceps femoris and overall posterior chain muscle activation is increased with the knee positioned at 30° of flexion; however, the 90° angle displayed less variation in performance within individual participants, especially in the gluteus maximus and medial gastrocnemius. …”

Cushion plants act as facilitators for soil microarthropods in high alpine Sweden by Peter Ľuptáčik (14150913)

“…<p>Cushion plants can have positive impacts on plant richness in severe environments and possibly across trophic levels on arthropods, an under-studied topic. This study examined whether soil communities under cushions have higher richness and abundance of soil microarthropods than adjacent non-cushion vegetation, and whether differences in collembolan and mite abundance and species richness between cushions and adjacent vegetation increase with elevation. …”

The Effects of Social Determinants of Health on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Lebanese with Type 2 Diabetes by Saadé, Rita

“…ACE, diabetes family history, age were found to be significantly and indirectly linked to the primary outcome (waist circumference) through A1C as a mediator, unlike health literacy that was significantly and directly linked to the primary outcome (χ2= 8.30 with p= 0.1405, CFI = .94 and RMSEA = .049 with PCLOSE of .44) Discussion: Patients that were health literate, working fewer hours with positive diabetes family history, and higher BMI and A1C levels were shown to have higher waist circumference and higher risk for cardiovascular risk factors. …”
