Antibiotic prescribing patterns in general dental practice- a scoping review
(2025 , Article)Introduction Antibiotic prescribing in general dental practice is common and may contribute to antimicrobial resistance. A scoping review was undertaken to map the existing literature on patterns of antibiotics prescriptions ... -
Deep learning-based middle cerebral artery blood flow abnormality detection using flow velocity waveform derived from transcranial Doppler ultrasound
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Since the brain is unlike any other organ in that it cannot store energy and has a high metabolic demand, constant blood flow is essential for healthy brain function. The maximum flow velocity waveform that is produced by ... -
High vaccine coverage is crucial for preventing the spread of infectious diseases during mass gathering
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Background: Vaccines are the most cost-effective intervention in public health as they prevent the spread of highly contagious infectious diseases. Because of vaccine implementation and high coverage, Measles was eradicated ... -
Highly Sensitive Detection and Differentiation of Endotoxins Derived from Bacterial Pathogens by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering.
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Bacterial endotoxins, as major components of Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane leaflets and a well-characterized TLR4-MD-2 ligand, are lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) that are constantly shed from bacteria during growth ... -
MSEUnet: Refined Intima-media segmentation of the carotid artery based on a multi-scale approach using patch-wise dice loss
( Elsevier , 2025 , Article)Carotid artery stenosis risk stratification is one of the most sought-after methods for diagnosing the chances of stroke. There is an inherent requirement to identify the risk before its onset through techniques such as ... -
Phonocardiogram classification based on 1D CNN with pitch-shifting and signal uniformity techniques
