Effect of left atrial ligation-driven altered inflow hemodynamics on embryonic heart development: clues for prenatal progression of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are abnormalities in the heart structure present at birth. One important condition is hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) where severely underdeveloped left ventricle (LV) cannot support ...
Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO₂ Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently attracted great interest in water pollution management. Using the zebrafish embryo model, we investigated the environmental impacts of two thermally (RGOTi)- and hydrogen ...
Antibacterial Properties of Polysulfone Membranes Blended with Arabic Gum.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Polysulfone (PS) membranes blended with different loadings of arabic gum (AG) were synthesized using phase inversion method and the antibacterial properties of the synthesized membranes were tested using a number Gram-negative ...
Triple Negative Breast Cancer Profile, from Gene to microRNA, in Relation to Ethnicity.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Breast cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. It is classified into four major molecular subtypes. Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs), a subgroup of breast cancer, are defined ...
Inter-Versus Intra-Host Sequence Diversity of pH1N1 and Associated Clinical Outcomes
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
The diversity of RNA viruses dictates their evolution in a particular host, community or environment. Here, we reported within- and between-host pH1N1virus diversity at consensus and sub-consensus levels over a three-year ...
Feline patent Toxoplasma-like coccidiosis among feral cats (Felis catus) in Doha city, Qatar and its immediate surroundings
(
De Gruyter Open
, 2014 , Article)
Doha city has a high feral cat population and studies of hospital records in Doha have shown that human toxoplasmosis also occurs. Clearly, there is a need to understand the role of cats as vectors of human toxoplasmosis ...
Role of Graphene Oxide in Bacterial Cellulose−Gelatin Hydrogels for Wound Dressing Applications
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
Biopolymer-based hydrogels have several advantages, including robust mechanical, high biocompatibility, and excellent properties. These hydrogels can be ideal wound dressing materials and advantageous to repair and regenerate ...
BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in Qatar.
(
Nature Researc
, 2021 , Article)
With the global expansion of the highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) variant, we conducted a matched test-negative case-control study to assess the real-world effectiveness of COVID-19 messenger RNA vaccines ...
Can commercial automated immunoassays be utilized to predict neutralizing antibodies after SARS-CoV-2 infection? A comparative study between three different assays.
(
IMR
, 2021 , Article)
Background: High-throughput assays that can infer neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 are of great importance for assessing the immunity induced by natural infection and COVID-19 vaccines. We aimed to evaluate the ...
