Modelling West Nile Virus and Usutu Virus Pathogenicity in Human Neural Stem Cells
(2020)Abstract: West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) are genetically related neurotropic mosquito-borne flaviviruses, which frequently co-circulate in nature. Despite USUV seeming to be less pathogenic for humans than ... -
A modular map of Bradykinin‑mediated inflammatory signaling network
(2021)Abstract: Bradykinin, a member of the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS), is associated with an inflammatory response pathway with diverse vascular permeability functions, including thrombosis and blood coagulation. In majority, ... -
Molecular and pro-inflammatory aspects of COVID-19: The impact on cardiometabolic health
(2022)Abstract: Obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), hypertension (HTN), and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) often cluster together as “Cardiometabolic Disease” (CMD). Just under 50% of patients with CMD increased the risk of morbidity ... -
Molecular Basis of Cardiac and Vascular Injuries Associated With COVID-19
(2020)Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The presence of the pre-existing cardiac disease is associated with an increased likelihood of ... -
The Molecular Basis of Gender Variations in Mortality Rates Associated With the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak
(2021)Abstract: Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at the end of 2019, the clinical presentation of the disease showed a great heterogeneity with a diverse impact among different subpopulations. ... -
Molecular Characterization of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Associated with Nasal Colonization and Environmental Contamination in Academic Dental Clinics
(2020)Aim: To determine the genetic makeup of methicillin-sensitive/methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA/MRSA) from nasal colonization and environmental contamination in dental clinics. Materials and Methods: ... -
Molecular Examination of Differentially Expressed Genes in the Brains of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Mice Post Herceptin Treatment
(2021)Objective: Herceptin (trastuzumab) is an approved drug for treating HER2+ breast cancer patients, but its use for other diseases is not established. We sought to investigate the effects of Herceptin on ameliorating ... -
Molecular Typing of ST239-MRSA-III From Diverse Geographic Locations and the Evolution of the SCCmec III Element During Its Intercontinental Spread
(2018-07-06)Abstract: ST239-MRSA-III is probably the oldest truly pandemic MRSA strain, circulating in many countries since the 1970s. It is still frequently isolated in some parts of the world although it has been replaced by other ... -
Monitoring Urban Zoonotic Virus Activity: Are City Rats a Promising Surveillance Tool for Emerging Viruses?
(2022)Abstract: Urban environments represent unique ecosystems where dense human populations may come into contact with wildlife species, some of which are established or potential reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens that cause ... -
Monkeypox and Its Possible Sexual Transmission: Where Are We Now with Its Evidence?
(2022-08)Abstract: Monkeypox is a rare disease but is increasing in incidence in different countries since the first case was diagnosed in the UK by the United Kingdom (UK) Health Security Agency on 6 May 2022. As of 9 August, ... -
Monkeypox and Male Fertility: Is There Any Looming Danger?
(2022)Abstract: The current emergence of monkeypox virus infection, mainly reported from previously non-endemic regions, raised concerns about its transmission and possible implication on general health and wellbeing. The concern ... -
Monkeypox Outbreaks in 2022: Battling Another "Pandemic" of Misinformation
(2022-07)Abstract: Monkeypox is a virus that was formerly recognized as a rare zoonotic disease but has been noted as an emerging disease of concern where there are significant gaps in knowledge. In 2022, Monkeypox outbreaks are ... -
Monocyte distribution width as a novel sepsis indicator in COVID-19 patients
(2022)Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly transmittable virus which causes the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Monocyte distribution width (MDW) is an in-vitro hematological ... -
Mortality and Morbidity in HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF Patients with Diabetes in the Middle East
(2020)Objectives: We sought to estimate the mortality and morbidity in diabetic acute heart failure (AHF) patients stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction. Methods: We analyzed the data of patients with AHF from ... -
Mosquito biodiversity and mosquito-borne viruses in the United Arab Emirates
(2019-04-03)Background: In the last 50 years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced rapid population growth and urbanization. Urbanization is known to influence biodiversity, and there appears to be a link between the emergence ... -
Motivations for studying dentistry and dental college preference among rakcods students
(2016)Objectives: The objectives of this study were to find out the reasons for choosing dentistry as future career and factors of preferring RAKCODS over other dental colleges in UAE. Methods: A cross sectional questionnaire ... -
