A History of Drug-Induced Torsades de Pointes Is Associated With T-wave Morphological Abnormalities
( Nature Publishing Group , 2018 , Article)The hypothesis of the study is that Torsades de pointes (TdP) history can be better identified using T-wave morphology compared to Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF) at baseline. ECGs were recorded at baseline and ... -
A visual processing advantage for young-adolescent deaf observers: Evidence from face and object matching tasks
( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)It is unresolved whether the permanent auditory deprivation that deaf people experience leads to the enhanced visual processing of faces. The current study explored this question with a matching task in which observers ... -
Accredited genetic testing in the Arab Gulf region: reinventing the wheel.
( Nature Publishing Group , 2016 , Article)Accredited genetic testing in the Arab Gulf region: reinventing the wheel. -
Adsorptive removal of mercury from water by adsorbents derived from date pits
( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)The current work presented here focuses on the remediation of mercury from water using modified low-cost materials. Modified date pits, low cost, minimal pretreatment steps and locally abundant agricultural waste materials ... -
AEO7 Surfactant as an Eco-Friendly Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel in HCl solution
( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)The impact of AEO7 surfactant on the corrosion inhibition of carbon steel (C-steel) in 0.5 M HCl solution at temperatures between 20 °C and 50 °C was elucidated using weight loss and different electrochemical techniques. ... -
An efficient eco advanced oxidation process for phenol mineralization using a 2D/3D nanocomposite photocatalyst and visible light irradiations
( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)Nanocomposites (CNTi) with different mass ratios of carbon nitride (C3N4) and TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared hydrothermally. Different characterization techniques were used including X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis diffuse ... -
An Innovative Platform Merging Elemental Analysis and Ftir Imaging for Breast Tissue Analysis
( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)Histopathology and immunohistology remain the gold standard for breast cancer diagnostic. Yet, these approaches do not usually provide a sufficiently detailed characterization of the pathology. The purpose of this work is ... -
Assessment of Dapagliflozin Effectiveness as Add-on Therapy for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Qatari Population
( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)The effectiveness of dapagliflozin in the management of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2-DM) is an essential issue for establishing a basis for prescribing dapagliflozin. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of ... -
Author Correction: Epidemic T2DM, early development and epigenetics: implications of the Chinese Famine
( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)In the version of this article published online and in print, there was a mistake in the legend of Fig. 2 regarding the descriptions of the red and blue colours in the Figure. The text should have read The blue and red ... -
Born small, die young: Intrinsic, size-selective mortality in marine larval fish
( Nature Publishing Group , 2015 , Article)Mortality during the early stages is a major cause of the natural variations in the size and recruitment strength of marine fish populations. In this study, the relation between the size-at-hatch and early survival was ... -
Cardiac autonomic regulation as a predictor for childhood obesity intervention success.
( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)Childhood obesity is a major public health concern; behavioural interventions induce weight reduction in some, but success is variable. Heart rate variability (HRV) has been associated with impulse control and extent of ... -
Cardiovascular disease in the Eastern Mediterranean region: epidemiology and risk factor burden
( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article Review)The Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) comprises 22 countries or territories spanning from Morocco in the west to Pakistan in the east, and contains a population of almost 600 million people. Like many other developing ... -
CD56 expression in breast cancer induces sensitivity to natural killer-mediated cytotoxicity by enhancing the formation of cytotoxic immunological synapse
( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)We examined the potential value of the natural killer (NK) cell line; NK-92, as immunotherapy tool for breast cancer (BC) treatment and searched for biomarker(s) of sensitivity to NK-92-mediated cytotoxicity. The cytotoxic ... -
Collective osmotic shock in ordered materials
( Nature Publishing Group , 2012 , Article)Osmotic shock in a vesicle or cell is the stress build-up and subsequent rupture of the phospholipid membrane that occurs when a relatively high concentration of salt is unable to cross the membrane and instead an inflow ... -
Collembola at three alpine subarctic sites resistant to twenty years of experimental warming
( Nature Publishing Group , 2015 , Article)This study examined the effects of micro-scale, site and 19 and 21 years of experimental warming on Collembola in three contrasting alpine subarctic plant communities (poor heath, rich meadow, wet meadow). Unexpectedly, ... -
Community and species-specific responses of plant traits to 23 years of experimental warming across subarctic tundra plant communities
( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)To improve understanding of how global warming may affect competitive interactions among plants, information on the responses of plant functional traits across species to long-term warming is needed. Here we report the ... -
Computational Studies on the Thermodynamic and Kinetic Parameters of Oxidation of 2-Methoxyethanol Biofuel via H-Atom Abstraction by Methyl Radical
