The role of protected areas in modulating vegetation response to climatic stressors in hyper-arid ecosystems by Ammar Abulibdeh (15785928)

“…Results show that vegetation sensitivity to climate drivers increased significantly post-protection. For example, in Al Reem, the effect of evaporation on NDVI shifted from a non-significant, 28.1 (p = 0.136) before 2006 to a significant, 18.5 (p = 0.007) after protection, while the number of precipitation events lost its prior significance (β = 3.4, p = 0.016 → p = 0.981). …”

Downregulation of Lymphoid enhancer‐binding factor 1 (<i>LEF‐1)</i> expression (by immunohistochemistry and/ flow cytometry) in chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia with atypical immunophe... by Dina S. Soliman (14779333)

“…Absence of <i>LEF-1</i> expression in CLL/SLL is correlated (<i>P</i> < .05) with downregulation of CD5, CD23, CD200, expression of FMC7, brighter expression of CD79b, brighter expression of surface light chain, increased prolymphocytes and lower Matutes score.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">As downregulation of <i>LEF-1</i> expression is well correlated with atypical CLL, we suggest adding <i>LEF-1</i> to Matutes score as a beneficial marker to differentiate classic from atypical CLL <i>LEF-1</i> could also serve as a potential prognostic indicator for CLL clinical course.…”
