Novel Whole-Cell Inactivated Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Microparticles as Vaccine Formulation in Microneedle-Based Transdermal Immunization by Rikhav Gala (18069364)

“…Here we report that whole-cell-based gonococcal microparticle vaccine loaded in dissolvable microneedles for transdermal administration induced significant increase in antigen-specific IgG antibody titers and antigen-specific CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes in mice compared to gonococcal antigens in solution or empty microneedles. …”

In vitro regulation of quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa using synthetic autoinducers By Hrag Dilabazian A thesis by Dilabazian, Hrag

“…One out of the four elastase negative isolates was lasR and lasI deficient. The inducing ability of OdDHL and BHL on the lasB gene was tested under different conditions: by increasing cell density or manipulating the concentration of or time of exposure to autoinducers, revealed that induction was not possible in elastase negative strains and had no detectable effect on the elastase positive strains. …”

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.…”
