(
Taylor and Francis
, 2021 , Article)
Inflammation is associated with the development and progression of various disorders including atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus and cancer. Sesamin, a fat-soluble lignan derived from seeds and oil, has received increased ...
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 ...
Protection of Omicron sub-lineage infection against reinfection with another Omicron sub-lineage
(
Nature Research
, 2022 , Article)
There is significant genetic distance between SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant BA.1 and BA.2 sub-lineages. This study investigates immune protection of infection with one sub-lineage against reinfection with the other ...
Effect of mRNA Vaccine Boosters against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Infection in Qatar.
(
Massachusetts Medical Society
, 2022 , Article)
Waning of vaccine protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and the emergence of the omicron (or B.1.1.529) variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have led to expedited ...
Relative infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough infections, reinfections, and primary infections.
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections in vaccinated individuals and in those who had a prior infection have been observed globally, but the transmission potential of these infections is unknown. The RT-qPCR cycle threshold ...
Effects of Previous Infection and Vaccination on Symptomatic Omicron Infections.
(
Massachusetts Medical Society
, 2022 , Article)
The protection conferred by natural immunity, vaccination, and both against symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection with the BA.1 or BA.2 sublineages of the omicron (B.1.1.529) ...
Antimicrobial Resistance of Commensal Escherichia coli Isolated from Food Animals in Qatar
(
Mary Ann Liebert
, 2020 , Article)
This study aims at evaluating the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of 18 clinically relevant antibiotics in food animals in Qatar. Fecal samples from camels, cattle, and pigeons (300) were ...
Prevalence and molecular profiling of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) among healthy blood donors from different nationalities in Qatar.
(
Public Library of Science
, 2017 , Article)
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis. EBV is highly prevalent lymphotropic herpesvirus and has been linked to several malignancies. Transmission is generally by oral secretions, ...
Functional characterization of human myosin-binding protein C3 variants associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy reveals exon-specific cardiac phenotypes in zebrafish model
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Myosin-binding protein C 3 (MYBPC3) variants are the most common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a complex cardiac disorder due to its significant genetic and clinical ...
SARS-CoV-2 antibody-positivity protects against reinfection for at least seven months with 95% efficacy
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Background Reinfection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been documented, raising public health concerns. SARS-CoV-2 reinfections were assessed in a cohort of antibody-positive persons ...
