Development of novel monitors for early detection of fouling in reverse osmosis systems by Sim, Victor Siang Tze

“…The current generation of RO membranes is of sufficiently high permeability that further significant improvement in RO membrane permeability is less likely to be the primary driver for a major reduction in the cost of desalination but should arise from a variety of other process improvements. …”

Fedratinib combined with ropeginterferon alfa-2b in patients with myelofibrosis (FEDORA): study protocol for a multicentre, open-label, Bayesian phase II trial by McIlroy, G, Gaskell, C, Jackson, A, Yafai, E, Tasker, R, Thomas, C, Fox, S, Boucher, R, Ghebretinsea, F, Harrison, C, Mead, AJ, McMullin, MF

“…It has shown activity in MF and is well-tolerated, but combination with other therapies is likely needed to achieve clonal remission. Combining a JAK2 inhibitor with an interferon may be synergistic, as haematopoietic cells are activated from quiescence (a typical kinase resistance mechanism) rendering them more sensitive to inhibition. …”

The development of electrochemical sensors based on the use of different forms of carbon materials by Chaisiwamongkhol, K

“…The results presented in Chapter 6 are evidenced as photochemical in nature and to likely involve singlet oxygen. </p> <p>As a possible biomarker of salivary pH for diseases such as gingivitis and dental caries, the next aim of this thesis is to develop sensors for pH measurement in saliva. …”

Evaluating the generalisability of region-naïve machine learning algorithms for the identification of epilepsy in low-resource settings by Duta, I, Kariuki, SM, Ngugi, AK, Mwesige, AK, Masanja, H, Mwanga, DM, Owusu-Agyei, S, Wagner, R, Cross, JH, Sander, JW, Newton, CR, Sen, A, Jones, GD

“…The relationship between predictors and model outcomes also varies across sites, suggesting the need to update specific model aspects with local data before broader implementation. Variations are likely to be particular to the cultural context of diagnosis. …”

Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of antenatal screening for major structural anomalies during the first trimester of pregnancy: a decision model by Campbell, H, Karim, J, Papageorgiou, AT, Wilson, E, Rivero-Arias, O

“…VoI analysis showed further research would be unlikely to represent value for money. The protocol would likely lead to a reduction in infant healthcare costs and QALYs.…”

Gender differences in perceptions of psoriatic arthritis disease impact, management, and physician interactions: results from a global patient survey by Eder, L, Richette, P, Coates, LC, Azevedo, VF, Cappelleri, JC, Johnson, EP, Hoang, M, Moser, J, Kessouri, M

“…More females than males were very satisfied with their communication with their rheumatologist and were more likely to discuss the impact of PsA on their daily lives, their treatment satisfaction, and treatment goals with their rheumatologist.…”

Molecular pathways leading to sleep and wakefulness in Drosophila by Christodoulou, K

“…Activation of the receptor likely feeds into a small GTPase cascade that involves Cv-c and Sandman.…”

Climate worry: associations with functional impairment, pro-environmental behaviors and perceived need for support by Lenhard, F, Fernández de la Cruz, L, Wahlund, T, Andersson, E, Åhlén, J, Fuso Nerini, F, Akay, H, Mataix-Cols, D

“…Individuals in this group (high severity and frequency of climate worry as well as significant functional impairment) were more likely to experience depressed mood and sleep problems and were more interested in receiving support, specifically concerning strategies for worry management and sustainable behavior change. …”

The influence of metabolic hormones on lactation by Rostom, H

“…My work showed that GH signals through the Janus kinase 2 (Jak2)- signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) pathway, while transcriptomic evaluation of GH-treated HC11 cells demonstrated that GH promotes synthesis of milk proteins and proteins associated with lipid synthesis. GH is therefore likely to augment the milk-synthesising actions of prolactin at lactation onset.…”

Self-reported pain and osteoarthritis of the hip and spine in retired elite rowers by Baynham-Williams, M

“…No significant differences were found between rowing training duration or hatchet blade use in retired rowers with poor outcomes at the hip, spine or combined hip-spine. However, it is likely that this study was underpowered to detect statistical differences. …”
