Total and segmental liver volume variations by Abdalla, Eddie

“…This reproducible, noninvasive procedure is necessary because significant interpatient variation is believed to exist in the relative contributions of the hepatic segments to TLV.11 CT volumetry accurately predicts TLV on the basis of body surface area or body weight,12 which may achieve the true goal of preoperative CT volumetry of the liver, that is to estimate the individual patient's hepatic metabolic demands after resection or transplantation.7 Complications associated with technical aspects of liver surgery are decreasing, and focus has concurrently shifted to analysis of postoperative complications after major hepatic resection and liver transplantation on the basis of liver remnant volume and graft volume.3., 4., 6., 7., 8. and 13. …”

Rescue cerclage by Khoury, Alfred

“…Women who required rescue cerclage after failed prophylactic cerclage (n = 12) were 50% less likely to reach 28 weeks. Advanced dilation of 3 cm and/or prolapsed membranes (n = 18) did not decrease the likelihood of reaching 28 weeks. …”

Arsenic contamination in rice: a DPSIR analysis with a focus on top rice producers by Hasa Ali Abdulla (21437420)

“…The DPSIR analysis revealed that socioeconomic factors, including population growth and industrialization, were the primary driving forces behind arsenic contamination in rice. These factors increased pressures such as reliance on arsenic-contaminated irrigation water, historical pesticide use, and industrial pollution, which contributed to arsenic accumulation in rice-growing environments. …”

Application of the electric resistance tomographic technique to investigate its efficacy in cuttings transport in horizontal drilling scenarios by Muhammad Saad Khan (16724634)

“…<p dir="ltr">The present study is focused on the experimental evaluation of the non-intrusive electric resistance tomographic (ERT) technique in the presence of different types of water-based drilling fluids, i.e., Newtonian (water) and non-Newtonian (0.05 wt% and 0.1 wt% polymers). …”

Improved properties and salt rejection of polysulfone membrane by incorporation of hydrophilic cobalt-doped ZnO nanoparticles by Muneer M. Ba-Abbad (14151660)

“…The hydrophilicity of PSf membranes was improved by adding of ZnO and doped ZnO NPs which showed a decrease in contact angle values from 82° to 62° with an increased flux with water. Among the prepared membranes, doped ZnO NPs showed the highest salt rejection for both sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) compared to pure PSf and PSf with ZnO NPs which confirm the improvement contact angle and water permeability. …”

Andrographolide pre-treatment enhances the anti-tumor activity of topotecan on acute myeloid leukemia cells in vitro by Rizk, Sandra

“…Cotreating the cells with both topotecan and andrographolide simultaneously at various concentrations did not result in any significant changes. However, pretreating the cells with andrographolide for 24 hours prior to topotecan addition, led to a significant decrease in cell proliferation (39%) as compared to treatment with the compounds separately (67%). …”
