Corneal nerve loss in patients with TIA and acute ischemic stroke in relation to circulating markers of inflammation and vascular integrity
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)Vascular and inflammatory mechanisms are implicated in the development of cerebrovascular disease and corneal nerve loss occurs in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We have ... -
COVID-19 engages clinical markers for the management of cancer and cancer-relevant regulators of cell proliferation, death, migration, and immune response
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Clinical reports show that the management of cancer patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 requires modifications. Understanding of cancer-relevant mechanisms engaged by the virus is essential for the evidence-based management ... -
Cu and Ni Co-sputtered heteroatomic thin film for enhanced nonenzymatic glucose detection
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)In this work, we report a wafer-scale and chemical-free fabrication of nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) heteroatomic Cu–Ni thin films using RF magnetron sputtering technique for non-enzymatic glucose sensing application. The ... -
Dental caries detection using a semi-supervised learning approach
( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)Early diagnosis of dental caries progression can prevent invasive treatment and enable preventive treatment. In this regard, dental radiography is a widely used tool to capture dental visuals that are used for the detection ... -
Different molecular pathways are disrupted in Pyoderma gangrenosum patients and are associated with the severity of the disease.
( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory skin disease classified within the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatoses. The pathophysiology of PG is yet incompletely understood but a prominent role of genetics facilitating ... -
Differential response of oxidative and glycolytic skeletal muscle fibers to mesterolone
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibers differ in their ultrastructure, metabolism, and responses to physiological stimuli and pathological insults. We examined whether these fibers respond differentially to exogenous ... -
Discovery and systematic characterization of risk variants and genes for coronary artery disease in over a million participants
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)The discovery of genetic loci associated with complex diseases has outpaced the elucidation of mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) ... -
Do e-cigarettes have a part to play in peri-implant diseases?
( Nature Research , 2023 , Other)Systematic review. The following databases were searched for publications up to May 2022: Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, Cochrane and Open Grey. Additionally, four journals were hand searched. Clear ... -
Does prophylactic application of doxycycline at the implant-abutment interface improve clinical outcomes of dental implants?
( Nature Research , 2022 , Other)Design Randomised controlled clinical trial. Data sources Not applicable. Study aims This split-mouth randomised controlled clinical trial assessed the effects of placing doxycycline hyclate (Atridox) at the implant-abutment ... -
Duration of mRNA vaccine protection against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 subvariants in Qatar.
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 subvariants are genetically divergent. We conducted a matched, test-negative, case-control study to estimate duration of protection of the second and third/booster doses of mRNA COVID-19 ... -
Dynamic incorporation of multiple in silico functional annotations empowers rare variant association analysis of large whole-genome sequencing studies at scale
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Large-scale whole-genome sequencing studies have enabled the analysis of rare variants (RVs) associated with complex phenotypes. Commonly used RV association tests have limited scope to leverage variant functions. We propose ... -
An efficient green ionic liquid for the corrosion inhibition of reinforcement steel in neutral and alkaline highly saline simulated concrete pore solutions
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)The effect of the green ionic liquid compound, Quaternium-32 (Q-32), on the corrosion inhibition performance of reinforcement steel, in a simulated concrete pore solution, was investigated at different temperatures and pH ... -
Electrochemical and thermodynamic study on the corrosion performance of API X120 steel in 3.5% NaCl solution
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)The present work studied the effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of API X120 steel in a saline solution saturated with CO2 in absence and presence of polyethyleneimine (PEI) as an environmentally safe green ... -
Electrochemical removal of pyrite scale using green formulations
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Pyrite scale formation is a critical problem in the hydrocarbon production industry; it affects the flow of hydrocarbon within the reservoir and the surface facilities. Treatments with inorganic acids, such as HCl, results ... -
Emergent community architecture despite distinct diversity in the global whale shark (Rhincodon typus) epidermal microbiome
( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)Microbiomes confer beneficial physiological traits to their host, but microbial diversity is inherently variable, challenging the relationship between microbes and their contribution to host health. Here, we compare the ... -
Energy depletion and opportunistic microbial colonisation in white syndrome lesions from corals across the Indo-Pacific
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Corals are dependent upon lipids as energy reserves to mount a metabolic response to biotic and abiotic challenges. This study profiled lipids, fatty acids, and microbial communities of healthy and white syndrome (WS) ... -
Enhanced bioelectrochemical treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with Labaneh whey as co-substrate
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) that contains recalcitrant components as the major portion of constituents is difficult to treat by conventional biological processes. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) which also produce ... -

Enhancement of mechanical and corrosion resistance properties of electrodeposited NiP-TiC composite coatings
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)In the present study, the effect of concentration of titanium carbide (TiC) particles on the structural, mechanical, and electrochemical properties of Ni–P composite coatings was investigated. Various amounts of TiC particles ... -
Enhancing the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel under aggressive operational conditions using behentrimonium chloride
( Nature Research , 2019 , Article)Aggressive operational conditions e.g. saline media and acidic gases, e.g., CO2 can increase the corrosion rate of reinforcing steel. Accordingly, the necessity to protect the steel under the above conditions without ...
