A population study of clinically actionable genetic variation affecting drug response from the Middle East by Puthen Veettil Jithesh (12040358)

“…On average, Qataris carry 3.6 actionable genotypes/diplotypes, affecting 13 drugs with guidelines for clinical implementation, and 99.5% of the individuals had at least one clinically actionable genotype/diplotype. Increased risk of simvastatin-induced myopathy could be predicted in ~32% of Qataris from the diplotypes of SLCO1B1, which is higher compared to many other populations, while fewer Qataris may need tacrolimus dosage adjustments for achieving immunosuppression based on the CYP3A5 diplotypes compared to other world populations. …”

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO₂ reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee Yoon (7179263)

“…In the presence of the cation–anion pairs (M⁺/X⁻), Eads of the pairs on hydrated Bi (Bi-2H) becomes more negative than that in the cases of anions or cations alone, particularly when the ionic radius of the paired cation and anion do not differ significantly. Such a synergistic effect of the mixed ions is also observed for the work function values. …”

Direct Oral Anticoagulants Compared to Warfarin in Patients with Intermediate‐ to High‐Risk Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis by Mohamed Nabil Elshafei (9960500)

“…Direct oral anticoagulants were associated with comparable recurrence and mortality rates versus warfarin (odds ratio [OR] 0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.15–3.43) and (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.16–2.01), respectively. There was no significant difference in the safety outcomes (major and minor bleeding events), with a trend towards a decreased risk among direct oral anticoagulant treated cohorts (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.08–1.1) and (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.24–1.7), respectively.…”
