Electrocardiographic markers of subclinical atrial fibrillation detected by implantable loop recorder: insights from the LOOP Study
(2023)Aims: Insights into subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) development are warranted to inform the strategies of screening and subsequent clinical management upon AF detection. Hence, this study sought to characterize the ... -
Electrocardiographic Morphology-Voltage-P-WaveDuration (MVP) Score to Select Patients for Continuous Atrial Fibrillation Screening to Prevent Stroke
(2023)Abstract: Morphology-voltage-P-wave-duration (MVP) score combining P-wave duration (PWD), P-wave voltage in lead I (PWVI), and interatrial block (IAB) has been demonstrated to predict atrial fibrillation (AF). Therefore, ... -
Elements that underpin the design, development and evaluation of social media health interventions. A Scoping Review Protocol
(2021)Background: Social media use has grown tremendously over the years. Given the volume of people on social media and the amount of information being exchanged, it is perhaps unsurprising that social media is being used to ... -
Elevated ASCL1 activity creates de novo regulatory elements associated with neuronal diferentiation
(2022)Background: The pro-neural transcription factor ASCL1 is a master regulator of neurogenesis and a key factor necessary for the reprogramming of permissive cell types to neurons. Endogenously, ASCL1 expression is often ... -
Emergence of novel methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in a tertiary care facility in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
(2019)Purpose: There is a need for continuous surveillance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to identify emergence of new strains. We hypothesize that MRSA strains areevolving with ongoing acquisition of ... -
