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 Big Data in Sports Sciences: State-of-Art and Future Prospects of OMICS-Based Sports Sciences.
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article)Together with environment and experience (that is to say, diet and training), the biological and genetic make-up of an athlete plays a major role in exercise physiology. Sports genomics has shown, indeed, that some DNA ... -
Molecular characterization of extended spectrum β -lactamases enterobacteriaceae causing lower urinary tract infection among pediatric population.
