Risk factors associated with premature myocardial infarction: a systematic review protocol
(2019)Introduction: Premature myocardial infarction (MI) generally refers to MI in men ≤55 years or women ≤65 years. Premature MI is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD), which claimed 17.6 million lives globally ... -
Risk factors for dental implant failure: A 10-year retrospective study
(2021)Background: Owing to the high long-term survival rates of osseointegrated dental implants it has become increasingly used as the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth in the past few decades. Nevertheless, implant ... -
Risk of cataract in health care workers exposed to ionizing radiation: a systematic review
(2020)Background: The eye is an important sensory organ occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation (IR) in healthcare workers (HCWs) engaged in medical imaging (MI). New evidence highlights the possible induction of cataract ... -
Risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma due to occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2023)Abstract: Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the most significant occupational carcinogenic exposure in terms of the number of workers exposed (i.e., outdoor workers). Consequently, solar UVR-induced skin cancers are ... -
Roadmap for the Management of Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension in the Middle East: Review of the 2022 EVIDENT Summit
(2023)Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension are leading risk factors for death and disability in the Middle East. Both conditions are highly prevalent, underdiagnosed and poorly controlled, highlighting an ... -
RoB-SPEO: A tool for assessing risk of bias in studies estimating the prevalence of exposure to occupational risk factors from the WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-related Burden of Disease and Injury
(2020)Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are developing joint estimates of the work-related burden of disease and injury (WHO/ILO Joint Estimates). For this, systematic ... -
The role of atherogenic lipoproteins in diabetes: Molecular aspects and clinical significance
(2023)Abstract: Dyslipidaemia plays a prominent role in the genesis of atherosclerotic plaque and the increased cardiovascular risk in diabetes. Macrophages readily take up atherogenic lipoproteins, transforming into foam cells ... -
Role of flavonoids in thrombotic, cardiovascular, and inflammatory diseases
(2017)Abstract: The failure of mechanisms of natural anti-coagulation either due to genetic impairment or due to severe external injuries may result in a condition called thrombosis. This is believed to be the primary cause for ... -
