Changes in Uric Acid Levels following Bariatric Surgery Are Not Associated with <em>SLC2A9</em> Variants in the Swedish Obese Subjects Study by Mark A. Sarzynski (111091)

“…</p> <h3>Results</h3><p>Overall, 11 of the 14 tested <em>SLC2A9</em> SNPs were significantly associated with cross-sectional uric acid levels at all three time points, with rs13113918 showing the strongest association at each time point (R² = 3.7−5.2%, 3.9×10⁻²²≤p≤7.7×10⁻¹¹). One SNP (rs737267) showed a significant association (R² = 0.60%, P = 0.002) with change in uric acid levels from baseline to Year 2, as common allele homozygotes (C/C, N = 957) showed a larger decrease in uric acid (−61.4 µmol/L) compared to minor allele carriers (A/X: −51.7 µmol/L, N = 702). …”

Substitution outcomes do not correlate with amino acid frequency. by Sarah Meinhardt (503481)

DataSheet2_A thermodynamically consistent monte carlo cross-bridge model with a trapping mechanism reveals the role of stretch activation in heart pumping.ZIP by Kazunori Yoneda (11271150)

“…Based on our numerical analysis, we draw the following conclusions regarding the stretch activation mechanism: (i) the delayed force becomes larger than the original isometric force because the population of trapped myosin molecules and their average force increase after stretching; (ii) the delayed force has a duration of more than a few seconds owing to a fairly small rate constant of escape from the trapped state. …”

Patient-specific pulse wave propagation model identifies cardiovascular risk characteristics in hemodialysis patients by Jan Poleszczuk (417601)

“…The model, however, identified that the patients on hemodialysis had significantly increased stiffness of both large and small arteries compared to healthy counterparts (> 60% before dialysis with p-value < 0.05 or borderline) and that it was only transiently decreased during hemodialysis session. Additionally, correlation-based clustering revealed that augmentation index reflects the shape of heart ejection profile and SEVR is associated with stiffness of larger arteries. …”
