( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)AimsWe aimed to review insulin dosing recommendations, insulin regulation and its determinants, glycaemic response to carbohydrates, and the efficacy and safety of insulin therapy in different races/ethnicities. MethodsWe ... -
Radar fall detection using principal component analysis
( SPIE , 2016 , Conference Paper)Falls are a major cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in people aged 65 years and older. Radar has the potential to become one of the leading technologies for fall detection, thereby enabling the elderly to live independently. ... -
Radar fall detectors: A comparison
( SPIE , 2016 , Conference Paper)Falls are a major cause of accidents in elderly people. Even simple falls can lead to severe injuries, and sometimes result in death. Doppler fall detection has drawn much attention in recent years. Micro-Doppler signatures ... -
Radially oriented mesoporous TiO2 microspheres with single-crystal–like anatase walls for high-efficiency optoelectronic devices
( American Association for the Advancement of Science , 2015 , Article)Highly crystalline mesoporous materials with oriented configurations are in demand for high-performance energy conversion devices. We report a simple evaporation-driven oriented assembly method to synthesize three-dimensional ... -
Radioactivity levels in the marine environment along the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)A study on 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 238U was carried out along the EEZ of Qatar. Results serve as the first ever baseline data. The level of 137Cs (mean value 1.6 ± 0.4 Bq m 3) in water filters was found to be in the ... -
Radiofrequency Ablation Versus Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation: Meta-analysis of Safety and Efficacy
( NLM (Medline) , 2019 , Article)BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) are the main treatments used for atrial fibrillation (AF). In recent years, a number of articles comparing the 2 treatments have begun to emerge. ... -
Radiographic assessment of endodontic mishaps in an undergraduate student clinic: a 2-year retrospective study
( PeerJ , 2022 , Article)Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the occurrence of instrumentation and obturation related endodontic procedural mishaps following the use of either, stainless steel hand or engine-driven rotary instrumentation ... -
Radiological Assessment of Prevalance and Quality of Periapical Status of Endodontic Treatments
( International Scientific Infromation, Inc. , 2022 , Article)Background: The aim of this study was to determine the current prevalence and quality of endodontic treatments and investigate the relationship of various factors with posttreatment endodontic disease (PTED) in a Turkish ... -
A radon wigner ville based image dissimilarity measure
( IEEE , 2011 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we introduce a radon wigner ville based image dissimilarity measure. The proposed Image distortion measure aims to combine the useful properties of the wigner ville and the directionality of the finite Radon ... -
Ramadan Fasting and Patients with Cancer: State-of-the-Art and Future Prospects
( Frontiers Media , 2016 , Article)Ramadan fasting represents one of the five pillars of the Islam creed. Even though some subjects (among which patients) are exempted from observing this religious duty, they may be eager to share this particular moment of ... -
Random number of units for K-out-of-n systems
( Elsevier Inc. , 2017 , Article)This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for a K-out-of-n system, where K is a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case when K is predefined as constant numbers as is done ... -

Random sampling for patch-based face recognition
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)Real face recognition is a challenging problem especially when face images are subject to distortions. This paper presents an approach to tackle partial occlusion distortions present in real face recognition using a single ... -
A Randomised Single-Blinded Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of Brief Advice on Smoking Cessation among Tertiary Students in Malaysia
( OMICS International , 2016 , Article)Introduction Tobacco smoking, a habitual behavior, is addictive and detrimental to health. Quitting requires personal abilities and environmental opportunities and therefore, improving these abilities and opportunities ... -
Randomized clinical trial comparing abluminal biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents with durable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents: Nine months angiographic and 5-year clinical outcomes
( Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc , 2016 , Article)Background: The biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (DES) were developed to improve vascular healing. However, further data and longer-term follow-up are needed to confirm safety and efficacy of these stents. This ... -
Range-Doppler radar sensor fusion for fall detection
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)Falls are the major cause of accidents in the elderly population. Propelled by their non-intrusive sensing capabilities and robustness to heat and lighting conditions, radar-based automated fall detection systems have ... -
Ranitidine Impairs Bone Healing and Implant Osseointegration in Rats' Tibiae
( W.B. Saunders , 2020 , Article)Purpose: Ranitidine has been found to have an impact on bone metabolism by suppressing osteoclastogenesis. We hypothesized that the use of ranitidine would impair bone healing and implant osseointegration. This study ... -
