Assessment of Human Fetal Left Heart Hemodynamics during Prenatal Development
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
The hemodynamic forces and wall shear stresses (WSS) play an important role during the fetal heart development. Abnormal levels of flow-driven shear stress can deteriorate the proper functioning of the cells responsible ...
EndMT regulation by small RNAs in diabetes-associated fibrotic conditions: potential link with oxidative stress
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
Diabetes-associated complications, such as retinopathy, nephropathy, cardiomyopathy, and atherosclerosis, the main consequences of long-term hyperglycemia, often lead to organ dysfunction, disability, and increased mortality. ...
Identification of mcr-8 in Clinical Isolates From Qatar and Evaluation of Their Antimicrobial Profiles
(
Frontiers Media
, 2020 , Article)
This study was performed to investigate the genotypic causes of colistin resistance in 18 colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 13), Escherichia coli (n = 3) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 2) isolates from patients ...
Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Gene Patterns Associated with Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) from Broiler Chickens in Qatar
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is the contributing agent behind the avian infectious
disease colibacillosis, which causes substantial fatalities in poultry industries that has a significant
impact on the economy ...
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) Suppresses STAT1/Interferon Signaling Pathway and Inflammation in Senescent Preadipocytes.
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Obesity promotes premature aging and dysfunction of white adipose tissue (WAT) through the accumulation of cellular senescence. The senescent cells burden in WAT has been linked to inflammation, insulin-resistance (IR), ...
Within-Host Diversity of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 Patients With Variable Disease Severities.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2020 , Article)
The ongoing pandemic of SARS-COV-2 has already infected more than eight million people worldwide. The majority of COVID-19 patients either are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Yet, about 15% of the cases experience ...
Detection of antinuclear antibodies targeting intracellular signal transduction, metabolism, apoptotic processes and cell death in critical COVID-19 patients
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Background: The heterogeneity of COVID-19 lies within its diverse symptoms and severity, ranging from mild to lethal. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been shown to be the leading cause of mortality in COVID-19 ...
Experimental and Biological Investigation of Hemodynamics-induced Injuries for Cardiovascular Disorders
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Introduction:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative disease process of the abdominal aorta that leads to a focal dilation and irreversible remodeling of the arterial wall. In this condition, the aortic vessel ...
Numerical Investigation of the Fetal Left Heart Hemodynamics During Gestational Stages
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
Flow-driven hemodynamic forces on the cardiac tissues have critical importance, and have a significant role in the proper development of the heart. These mechanobiological mechanisms govern the cellular responses for the ...
Mixed Viral-Bacterial Infections and Their Effects on Gut Microbiota and Clinical Illnesses in Children.
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Acute gastroenteritis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among young children worldwide. It accounts for approximately 1.34 million deaths annually in children younger than five years. Infection can be caused ...
