(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic progressive inflammatory disease characterised by airflow limitation. Several pro-inflammatory markers are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of COPD. ...
Investigating the cardiac effects of Sildenafil loaded nanoparticles on heart failure using the Zebrafish Embryo Model.
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the first cause of death worldwide. Vasolidator agents are used to relax cardiac muscle, but their extremely short half-lifes limit their effectiveness. Sildenafil is such an ...
