( Tehran University of Medical Sciences , 2019 , Article)Background: Regarding the antimonial-resistant of Leishmania spp., understanding of related mechanism is necessary. One of the most important involved molecules is aquaglyceropin1 (AQP1). The aim of this study was molecular ... -
Molecular Analysis of Campylobacter Jejuni Virulence Genes From Clinical Isolates In Qatar
(2014 , Master Thesis)Background: Campylobacter jejuni is the main cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. Symptoms of C. jejuni infections range from asymptomatic to bloody diarrhea. Previous studies showed a strong association between diversity ... -
Molecular analysis of inflammatory diseases.
( Wiley , 2022 , Article Review)If we try to describe the search for molecular actors involved in inflammatory diseases, the picture best representing this task is a mission to unexplored worlds. However, researchers nowadays have powerful tools to support ... -
Molecular Analysis Of The Brca1 And Brca2 Genes In Hereditary Breast Or Ovarian Cancer Patients In Qatar (2015-2016)
(2018 , Master Thesis)The frequency of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations is understudied in Arab women and there are no studies investigating BRCA1/2 mutations in Qatar. In this study, we sequenced BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in 183 patients suspected of ... -
Molecular analysis of the enteric protozoa associated with acute diarrhea in hospitalized children
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2017 , Article)Pediatric diarrhea is a common cause of death among children under 5 years of age. In the current study, we investigated the frequency of intestinal parasites among 580 pediatric patients with chronic diarrhea. Parasitic ... -
Molecular and biological characterization of influenza A viruses isolated from human fecal samples
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Human influenza viruses are occasionally detected in the stools of influenza patients. Objectives: Here, we investigated the molecular and biological characteristics of intestinal influenza viruses and their potential role ... -
Molecular and Biological Mechanisms Underlying Gender Differences in COVID-19 Severity and Mortality
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)Globally, over two million people have perished due to the recent pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. The available epidemiological global data for SARS-CoV-2 portrays a higher rate of severity and mortality in males. Analyzing ... -
Molecular and electronic structure elucidation of Fe2+/Fe3+ complexed chelators used in iron sulphide scale removal in oil and gas wells
( Wiley-Liss Inc. , 2019 , Article)Quantum chemical calculations based on DFT are employed to study the electronic structure and binding affinity of chelators used in the removal of iron sulphide scales. Three chelating agents, EDTA, HEDTA, and DTPA, are ... -
Molecular and Peritoneal Microvascular Changes Cause Peritoneal Membrane Dysfunction by Uremia-Related Mechanisms
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with distinct peritoneal structural changes characterized by thickening of the sub-mesothelial cell layer, fibrosis and angiogenesis. These changes were assumed to be the ... -
Molecular and Structural Changes in Induced-Brain Stroke Tissue Using FTIR Imaging Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron and Atomic Force Microscopy
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)1. Background: Stroke, i.e. loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain, is the main cause of adult disability (e.g. paralysis) in the world, leaving more than half of the patients dependent ... -
Molecular aspects of delta opioid receptors.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)The delta opioid receptor (DOP) belongs to the Class A, rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors. Although this receptor has a high level of similarity with the other opioid receptors, it displays unique aspects ... -
