Augmenting Flexnerism Via Twitterism: Need for Integrating Social Media Application in Blueprinting Pedagogical Strategies for Undergraduate Medical Education
Alsheikh-Ali, Alawi; Banerjee, Yajnavalka; Bayoumi, Riad (2019-03-25)Background: Flexnerism, or “competency-based medical education,” advocates that formal analytic reasoning, the kind of rational thinking fundamental to the basic sciences, especially the natural sciences, should be the ... -
Blending Gagne’s Instructional Model with Peyton’s Approach to Design an Introductory Bioinformatics Lesson Plan for Medical Students: Proof-of-Concept Study
Banerjee, Yajnavalka; Bayoumi, Riad (2018)Background: With the rapid integration of genetics into medicine, it has become evident that practicing physicians as well as medical students and clinical researchers need to be updated on the fundamentals of bioinformatics. ... -
Covid-19 infection in pregnant women in Dubai: a case-control study
Hassan Khamis, Amar; Bayoumi, Riad (2021)Background: Whilst the impact of Covid-19 infection in pregnant women has been examined, there is a scarcity of data on pregnant women in the Middle East. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the impact of Covid-19 ... -
Estimate of the HOMA-IR Cut-off Value for Identifying Subjects at Risk of Insulin Resistance Using a Machine Learning Approach
Bayoumi, Riad (2021)Objectives: This study describes an unsupervised machine learning approach used to estimate the homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) cut-off for identifying subjects at risk of IR in a given ethnic ... -
Genetic loci associated with heart rate variabilityand their effects on cardiac disease risk
Bayoumi, Riad (2017)Abstract: Reduced cardiac vagal control reflected in low heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with greater risks for cardiac morbidity and mortality. In two-stage meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies for ... -
Heritability and genetic and environmental correlations of heart rate variability and baroreceptor reflex sensitivity with ambulatory and beat-to-beat blood pressure
Bayoumi, Riad (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
Bayoumi, Riad (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
Bayoumi, Riad (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 ... -
A novel 6D-approach to radically transform undergraduate medical education: preliminary reflections from MBRU
Banerjee, Yajnavalka; Azar, Aida J; Tuffnell, Christopher; Bayoumi, Riad; Davis, David A (2018-12)Background: Designers of undergraduate medical education (UME) need to address the exponentially expanding volume and variability of scientific knowledge, where by didactic teaching techniques need to be augmented by ... -
Positive selection of lactase persistence among people of Southern Arabia
Bayoumi, Riad (2016-08-04)Objective: Frequency patterns of the lactase persistence (LP)-associated 213,915 G allele and archaeological records pointing to substantial role played by southern regions in the peopling and domestication processes that ... -
Utility of oral glucose tolerance test in predicting type 2 diabetes following gestational diabetes: Towards personalized care
Hassan Khamis, Amar; Lakshmanan, Jeyaseelan; Bayoumi, Riad (2021)Background: Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at a seven-fold higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) within 7-10 years after childbirth, compared with those with normoglycemic pregnancy. Although ...
