Characterization and assessment of potential microRNAs involved in phosphate-induced aortic calcification
( Wiley-Liss Inc. , 2018 , Article)Medial artery calcification, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD), is known as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Hyperphosphatemia associated with CKD ... -
Development of efficient formulation for the removal of iron sulphide scale in sour production wells
( Wiley-Liss Inc. , 2018 , Article)Iron sulphide scale, which exists in different forms, is common in sour oil and gas production wells. Iron sulphide hard scales are difficult to remove with acids, requiring mechanical intervention or the replacement of ... -
Identification and mapping of brain natriuretic peptide in the normal ventricular myocardium of a desert-dwelling mammalian model, the camel (Camelus dromedarius): Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study
( Wiley-Liss Inc. , 2019 , Article)Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is mainly produced in the ventricular myocardium, where it is released into the circulation, producing rapid volume decrease by diuresis, natriuresis, and water shift into the extracellular ... -
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 ... -
Myocardial proteases and cardiac remodeling
( Wiley-Liss Inc. , 2017 , Article Review)Cardiac hypertrophy (CH), characterized by the enlargement of cardiomyocytes, fibrosis and apoptosis, is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite the advances in cardiovascular research, there remains a need ... -
Novel fluorinated surfactants for enhanced oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs
( Wiley-Liss Inc. , 2016 , Article)Novel surfactant‐polymer (SP) formulations containing fluorinated amphoteric surfactant (surfactant‐A) and fluorinated anionic surfactant (surfactant‐B) with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) were evaluated for ... -
Rheological and thermal properties of novel surfactant-polymer systems for EOR applications
( Wiley-Liss Inc. , 2016 , Article)In this work, two surfactant-polymer (SP) systems were evaluated for enhanced oil recovery applications. The first SP system contained partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and alkyl polyethylene glycol ether-based non-ionic ...
