Haemosporidioses in wild Eurasian blackbirds (Turdus merula) and song thrushes (T. philomelos): an in situ hybridization study with emphasis on exo‑erythrocytic parasite burden
(2020)Background: Passerine birds are frequently infected with diverse haemosporidian parasites. While infections are traditionally considered benign in wild birds, recent studies demonstrated mortalities of passerine species ... -
Half a century and more of PhD theses by published papers Comment on: “Bringing the doctoral thesis by published papers to the Social Sciences and the Humanities: A quantitative easing? A small study of doctoral thesis submission rules and practice in two disciplines in the UK” by John Rigby and Barbara Jones in Scientometrics published online 15-May-2020
(2020)Abstract: The recent article by Rigby and Jones in Scientometrics (15-May-2020) again draws attention to basing PhD-theses on published works, in their case introducing the system into the Social Sciences and Humanities. ... -
Hall technique crowns and children's masseter muscle activity: A surface electromyography pilot study
(2019)Background: Hall technique crowns (HTCs) alter the occlusion temporarily, potentially affecting jaw muscles, particularly the masseter – the primary jaw-closing muscle. Aim: To assess masseter muscle activity (MMA) ... -
The hall technique in paediatric dentistry: a review of the literature and an “all hall” case report with a-24 month follow up
(2017)Aim: This paper highlights a non-invasive treatment option for primary molars, where decay is sealed under preformed stainless steel crowns (SSC). Summary: Restoring the carious primary molar in children using the ... -
Hall Versus Conventional Preformed Metal Crowns: Radiographic Identification by Pediatric Dentists
(2021)Background: It is assumed that Conventional preformed metal crowns (PMCs) are usually well adapted to the primary molars, while it has been claimed that the Hall technique (HT) PMC is an oversized, poorly fitting crown ... -
Happiness and associated factors amongst pregnant women in the United Arab Emirates: The Mutaba’ah Study
(2023)Objective: Prenatal happiness and life satisfaction research are often over-shadowed by other pregnancy and birth outcomes. This analysis investigated the level of, and factors associated with happiness amongst pregnant ... -
Harmonized definition of occupational burnout: A systematic review, semantic analysis, and Delphi consensus in 29 countries
(2020)Objective : A consensual definition of occupational burnout is currently lacking. We aimed to harmonize the definition of occupational burnout as a health outcome in medical research and reach a consensus on this definition ... -
HAS 1: A natural product from soil-isolated Streptomyces species with potent activity against cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania tropica
(2022)Abstract: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical disease, classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most unrestrained diseases. The Syrian war and the significant displacement of refugees ... -
Health and Academic Performance With Happy Children: A Controlled Longitudinal Study Based on the HOPP Project
(2022)Background: Overweight/obesity in children and adolescents, largely arising due to increased food intake and reduced physical activity, is a major health concern. Physical activity (PA) integrated into learning has been ... -
Health and health systems performance in the United Arab Emirates
(2013)Abstract: In the early 2000s, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had good levels of health and its health system was ranked twenty-seventh in the world by the World Health Organization. Since that time, to further improve ... -
Health literacy among pregnant women in the United Arab Emirates: The Mutaba'ah study
(2024-01)Abstract: Background: Health literacy is the degree to which individuals can obtain, process, understand, and communicate health-related information. Health literacy among pregnant women, in particular, may have a significant ... -

(2018)Background: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) increasingly recognized as a serious, worldwide public health concern. According to the WHO, NCDs are currently responsible for two-thirds of global deaths annually. Nutritional ... -
Healthcare Derived Smart Watches and Mobile Phones are Contaminated Niches to Multidrug Resistant and Highly Virulent Microbes
(2022)Background: As high touch wearable devices, the potential for microbial contamination of smart watches is high. In this study, microbial contamination of smart watches of healthcare workers (HCWs) was assessed and compared ... -
Hematinic Deficiency and the risk of Oral Epithelial Dysplasia
(2017-10-21)Abstract: Oral squamous cell carcinoma could be preceded by clinically evident oral potentially malignant disorders harboring oral epithelial dysplasia (OED. Hematinic deficiencies are associated with certain potentially ... -
Heme Oxygenase-1 (HMOX-1) and inhibitor of differentiation proteins (ID1, ID3) are key response mechanisms against iron-overload in pancreatic β-cells
(2021)Abstract: Iron overload promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pancreatic β-cells can counter oxidative stress through multiple anti-oxidant responses. Herein, RNA-sequencing was used to describe the ... -
Heritability and genetic and environmental correlations of heart rate variability and baroreceptor reflex sensitivity with ambulatory and beat-to-beat blood pressure
(2019-02-07)Abstract: This family study from Oman (n = 1231) explored the heritability and genetic and environmental correlations of heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS) with ambulatory and beat-to-beat ... -
Heritability and genetic correlations of heart rate variability at rest and during stress in the Oman Family Study
(2018-07)Introduction: Individual differences in heart rate variability (HRV) can be partly attributed to genetic factors that may be more pronounced during stress. Using data from the Oman Family Study (OFS), we aimed to estimate ... -
Heritability and genetic correlations of obesity indices with ambulatory and office beat-to-beat blood pressure in the Oman Family Study
