Evaluating factors affecting mean glandular dose in mammography: insights from a retrospective study in Dubai by Mohammad Noor, Kaltham Abdulwahid, Mohd Norsuddin, Norhashimah, Abdul Karim, Muhammad Khalis, Che Isa, Iza Nurzawani, Ulaganathan, Vaidehi

“…Weak inverse correlations were found between age and organ dose (OD) for both views, while a direct relationship was observed between breast thickness and entrance skin dose (ESD). In adjusted models, ESD was strongly associated with MGD (β = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.09), while OD showed a moderate association (β = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.40, 0.49). …”

Homologous Lympho-epithelial Kazal-type inhibitor domains delay blood coagulation by inhibiting factor X and XI with differential specificity by Ramesh, Karthik, Lama, Dilraj, Tan, Kang Wei, Nguyen, Van Sang, Chew, Fook Tim, Verma, Chandra Shekhar, Mok, Yu Keung

“…Despite being initially identified in the blood filtrate, LEKTI is a 15-domain Kazal-type inhibitor mostly known in the regulation of skin desquamation. In the current study, screening of serine proteases in blood coagulation cascade showed that LEKTI domain 4 has inhibitory activity toward only FXIa, whereas LEKTI domain 6 inhibits both FXIa and FXaB (bovine FXa). …”
