Why does the adverse effect of inappropriate MRI for LBP vary by geographic location? An exploratory analysis by Mujahed Shraim (14153145)

“…Although the prevalence of eMRI for occupational LBP varies substantially among states, it is unknown whether the risk of prolonged disability associated with eMRI varies according to individual and area-level characteristics. The aim was to explore whether the known risk of increased length of disability (LOD) associated with eMRI scanning not adherent to guidelines for occupational LBP varies according to patient and area-level characteristics, and the potential reasons for any observed variations.…”

Genetic Variation in CCL5 Signaling Genes and Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Susceptibility and Prognosis Implications by Jingxuan Shan (4711089)

“…We characterized variants in <i>CCL5</i> and that of six other CCL5 signaling genes (<i>CCND1, ZMIZ1, CASP8, NOTCH2, MAP3K21, and HS6ST3</i>) among 1,082 unrelated Tunisian subjects (544 BC patients, including 196 TNBC, and 538 healthy controls), assessed the association of the variants with BC-specific overall survival (OVS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and correlated CCL5 mRNA and serum levels with <i>CCL5</i> genotypes. We found a highly significant association between the <b><i>CCND1</i></b><b> </b><b>rs614367-TT</b> genotype (OR = 5.14; <i>P</i> = 0.004) and TNBC risk, and identified a significant association between the <b>rs614367-T</b> allele and decreased PFS in TNBC. …”

The sympathetic baroreflex is enhanced during emotional stress in rats by Kanbar, Roy

“…Under both conditions, baroreflex function curves relating AP and RSNA were constructed by fitting a sigmoid function to RSNA and AP measured during sequential nitroprusside and phenylephrine administrations. Air-jet stress significantly (P<0.01) increased the mean levels of AP (from 112 +/- 2 to 124 +/- 2 mmHg), heart rate (from 381 +/- 10 to 438 +/- 18 beats/min) and RSNA (from 0.80 +/- 0.14 to 1.49 +/- 0.23 microV). …”

Enhancing Thermal Comfort for the Revitalization of Pedestrian-Friendly Shopping Arcades in Dubai, UAE by RAJEEV, ANN MARIA

“…Using ENVI-met software, simulations are conducted in three stages: urban materials, building facade materials, and vegetation and landscaping, encompassing thirteen different combinations to examine four key aspects: temperature, humidity, wind speed, and PMV value, which significantly affect outdoor thermal comfort. The most favorable cases are selected from each phase, and the final reduction in temperature and PMV values of the optimized case indicates a substantial decrease of 3.76 degrees Celsius in air temperature post-implementation of passive design strategies. …”
