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 professionals' perspectives on factors needed to implement nutrition strategy: A questionnaire validation study
(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
(2020)Objective: To more precisely and comprehensively estimate the genetic and environmental correlations between various indices of obesity and BP. Methods: We estimated heritability and genetic correlations of obesity ... -
Herringbone Microfluidic Probe for Multiplexed Affinity-Capture of Prostate Circulating Tumor Cells
(2021)Abstract: In this work, for first time, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are captured on an open biofunctionalized substrate with multiplexing capability. This is achieved by developing a new microfluidic probe (MFP) ... -
Hiccups, Hypersalivation, Hallucinations in Parkinson’s Disease: New Insights, Mechanisms, Pathophysiology, and Management
(2023)Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurological disorder and the second most common neurodegenerative condition. We report three common but overlooked symptoms in PD—hiccups, hypersalivation, ... -
High diagnostic accuracy of automated rapid Strep A test reduces antibiotic prescriptions for children in the United Arab Emirates
(2021)Background: Diagnosis of Group A Streptococcus (GAS) pharyngitis in children is hindered by variable sensitivity of clinical criteria and rapid Strep A tests (SAT), resulting in reliance on throat cultures as the gold ... -
High prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors amongst young adults in the United Arab Emirates: the UAE Healthy Future Study
(2023)Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the world. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), it accounts for 40% of mortality. CVD is caused by multiple cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) ... -
High-Intensity Interval Training Decreases Muscle Sympathetic Nerve Activity in Men With Essential Hypertension and in Normotensive Controls
(2020)Abstract: Exercise training is a cornerstone in reducing blood pressure (BP) and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in individuals with essential hypertension. Highintensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown ... -
Higher Temperatures, Higher Solar Radiation, and Less Humidity Is Associated With Poor Clinical and Laboratory Outcomes in COVID-19 Patients
(2021)Background: The COVID-19 pandemic varies between countries, with suggestions that weather might contribute to the transmission mode, disease presentation, severity, and clinical outcomes. Yet the exact link between climate ... -
A Highly Durable RNAi Therapeutic Inhibitor of PCSK9
