Natalizumab Treatment for Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Stabilises Normal-Appearing White Matter Microstructure: A One-Year Prospective Ultra-High-Field Quantitative Imaging Study by Radu Tanasescu (439168)

“…We investigated if natalizumab can prevent microstructural tissue damage progression measured with MRI at ultra-high field (7 Tesla) over the first year of treatment. …”

Immunoprofile of childhood diabetes by Meritxell Espino-Guarch (15430868)

“…Additionally, all samples were immunoprofiled by multi-parameter flow cytometry to assess the comparative levels of circulating adaptive and innate immune cell types present that potentially contribute to disease progression. </p> <p>Results: No significant differences between the absolute proportions of Treg and Tcon subsets present was observed in any of the groups studied. …”

Effects of short-term resistance training and tapering on maximal strength, peak power, throwing ball velocity, and sprint performance in handball players by Souhail Hermassi (6919487)

“…Although the performance of the experimental group generally continued to increase over tapering, the mean effect size for the training period was markedly higher (d = 1.92, range: 0.95–3.78) than that seen during tapering (d = 1.02, range: -0.17–2.09). Nevertheless the ten weeks of progressive resistance training followed by two weeks of tapering was an effective overall tactic to increase muscle power, sprint performance and ball throwing velocity in handball players.…”

The relationship between digit independence and digital sesamoids in humans and a proposal of a new digital sesamoid evolutionary hypothesis by Yammine, Kaissar

“…Digital sesamoids are found in the metapodial‐phalangeal joints of most mammals and quadrupedal tetrapods, yet their functional significance is still unclear. During primate evolution, a slight decline in their frequency has been associated with brachiation in gibbons, followed by a quasi‐complete absence in orangutans then a slight resurgence occurred in gorillas and chimpanzees. …”

Friction stir extrusion of ultra-thin wall biodegradable magnesium alloy tubes — Microstructure and corrosion response by Vasanth C. Shunmugasamy (10474766)

“…The microhardness variation along the tube wall thickness indicated the operation of multiple deformation paths during FSE. Upon exposure to Hank’s balanced salt solution at 37 ◦C, microgalvanic coupling resulting from the gradient through-the-thickness grain size and texture differences between the tube inner and outer surfaces, and residual strain arising from the FSE process, promoted a localized attack that preferentially initiated on the outer tube surface and progressed inwards. …”

Characteristics and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients with pulmonary disorders: A single-center, retrospective observational study by Wasim Jamal (14777308)

“…</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">Patients with pulmonary disorders had higher mortality rates than other patients admitted to ICU during the same time frame with similar comorbidities; these patients require extra consideration and care to avoid disease progression and death.…”

Spatial, temporal, and demographic patterns in prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis... by Marissa B Reitsma (8674341)

“…Although prevalence of smoking had decreased significantly since 1990 among both males (27·5% [26·5–28·5] reduction) and females (37·7% [35·4–39·9] reduction) aged 15 years and older, population growth has led to a significant increase in the total number of smokers from 0·99 billion (0·98–1·00) in 1990. …”
