The effect of microbiome therapy on COVID-19-induced gut dysbiosis: A narrative and systematic review by Mahmoud Yousef (9900837)

“…This systematic review investigated the efficacy of interventions such as probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in COVID-19 management, and this revealed promising outcomes. These interventions reduced mortality rates, decreased hospital stays, improved oxygen saturation levels, alleviated gastrointestinal symptoms, enhanced immune response, and improved cognition.…”

Ratings of Perceived Exertion Misclassify Intensities for Sedentary Older Adults During Graded Cycling Test: Effect of Supramaximal High-Intensity Interval Training by Georges Jabbour (754884)

“…For both groups, RPE decreases with SCE at 10 min following graded test correlated significantly to V˙O₂ (r = 0.61, p < 0.01). …”

A CFD- RSM study of cuttings transport in non-Newtonian drilling fluids: Impact of operational parameters by Abdelrahman M. Awad (16932519)

“…As the drill pipe rotational speed increased, the pressure drop decreased slightly until a critical rotatory speed was reached, thereafter, the pressure drop increased markedly. …”

Light chain amyloidosis presenting with autoimmune hepatitis-primary sclerosing cholangitis overlap syndrome by Hammad Shabir Chaudhry (20376378)

“…Her liver enzymes (Alkaline phosphatase, Alanine aminotransferase, Aspartate aminotransferase had decreased significantly.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">AL amyloidosis can very rarely present as AIH-PSC overlap syndrome, manifesting with raised liver enzymes, biliary strictures, pruritis and positive liver antibodies. …”

Which firms export? An empirical analysis for the manufacturing sector in the MENA region by Fakih, Ali

“…Also, they indicate that firms’ propensity to export decreases with larger domestic market size. The empirical analysis reveals considerable heterogeneity in the implications of firm characteristics for firms’ export behaviour through firm size categories and across MENA countries. …”

Predictive Power of Random Forests in Analyzing Risk Management in Islamic Banking by Ahmet Faruk Aysan (11902115)

“…<p dir="ltr">This study utilizes the random forest technique to investigate risk management practices and concerns in Islamic banks using survey data from 2016 to 2021. Findings reveal that larger banks provide more consistent survey responses, driven by their confidence and larger survey budgets. …”

Mutations in L-type amino acid transporter-2 support SLC7A8 as a novel gene involved in age-related hearing loss by Meritxell Espino Guarch (18810097)

“…Significant decreases in SLC7A8 transport activity was detected for patient’s variants (p.Val302Ile, p.Arg418His, p.Thr402Met and p.Val460Glu) further supporting a causative role for SLC7A8 in ARHL. …”

Examining time-to-transport decisions in Emergency Medical Services by Hassan Farhat (9000509)

“…The Schoenfeld plot (Figure 2) demonstrates that multiple variables have a significant impact on increasing the time-to-handover.…”

Nonlinear effects in locally resonant nanostrip phononic metasurface at GHz frequencies by Feng Gao (3548)

“…Finite element analysis reveals that the device operates in a vertically polarized (compression) mode with substantial acoustic energy confined in the nanostrips, leading to a local resonance at low acoustic velocity. …”

Klotho overexpression protects human cortical neurons from β-amyloid induced neuronal toxicity by Mohammed R. Shaker (10316180)

“…These neurons were next exposed to pre-aggregated β-amyloid 1–42 oligomers to model the neurotoxicity associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Our data reveal that upregulation of <i>KLOTHO</i> significantly reduced β-amyloid-induced neuronal degeneration and apoptosis, as evidenced by decreased cleaved caspase-3 expression and preservation of axonal integrity. …”

Driving against the clock: Investigating the impacts of time pressure on taxi and non-professional drivers’ safety and compliance by Qinaat Hussain (15294164)

“…Each participant completed the simulation drive twice, with the second drive conducted after they were informed that a reward would be given for finishing the trip more quickly. The findings reveal that drivers exhibited significantly riskier behaviors under time pressure, including higher speeds and reduced adherence to traffic rules. …”
