1,2,3-Triazolyl ester of ketorolac (15K), a potent PAK1 blocker, inhibits both growth and metastasis of orthotopic human pancreatic cancer xenografts in mice
(2019)More than 90% of human pancreatic cancers carry the oncogenic mutant of Ki-RAS and their growth depends on its downstream kinase PAK1, mainly because PAK1 blocks the apoptosis of cancer cells selectively. We developed a ... -
2020 taxonomic update for phylum Negarnaviricota (Riboviria: Orthornavirae), including the large orders Bunyavirales and Mononegavirales
(2020)Abstract: In March 2020, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and emended. At the genus rank, 20 new ... -

A 24‑month retrospective study of preformed metal crowns: the Hall technique versus the conventional preparation method
(2020)Purpose: Conventional and Hall Technique (HT) Preformed Metal Crowns (PMCs) are used for treatment of carious primary molars. The aim was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of conventional and HT PMCs in ... -
3D bioprinting for in vitro models of oral cancer: Toward development and validation
(2021)Abstract The tumor microenvironment (TME) of oral carcinomas has highly complex contents and a dynamic nature which is difficult to study using oversimplified two-dimensional (2D) cell culture systems. By contrast, three ... -
3D superimposition of dental casts based on coloured landmark detection using combined computer vision and 3D computer graphics techniques
(2019)Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of three-dimensional (3D) landmark-based palatal superimposition of digital dentalmodels using the customized software Ortho Mechanics Sequential ... -
Abrasion: A Common Dental Problem Revisited
(2017-02-28)Abstract: Dental abrasion is most commonly seen at the cervical necks of teeth, but can occur in any area, even inter-dentally from vigorous and incorrect use of dental floss. Acid erosion has been implicated in the ... -
Accuracy and reliability of landmark- based, surface- based and voxel- based 3D cone- beam computed tomography superimposition methods
(2017)Objectives: To evaluate and compare the accuracy and reliability of 3 different methods of three- dimensional cone- beam computed tomography scans (3D CBCTs) superimpositions: landmark- based, surface- based and voxel- ... -
Accuracy of three-dimensional dental resin models created by fused deposition modeling, stereolithography, and Polyjet prototype technologies: A comparative study
(2018)Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the dimensional accuracy of fused deposition modeling (FDM)–, Polyjet-, and stereolithography (SLA)–produced models by comparing them to traditional plaster casts. Materials ... -
Accuracy of three-dimensional printed guide plate for indirect bracket placement: one-piece verses segmented, an in Vitro study
(2022)Background: An accurate placement of brackets is a key element of the comprehensive treatment process of orthodontics to achieve an ideal occlusion. Orthodontic brackets can be directly placed on tooth surfaces or ... -
Acid erosion: an increasingly relevant dental problem. Risk factors, management and restoration
(2017)Abstract: A review of risk factors and management of acid erosion. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of direct composite as a reversible and relatively straightforward restorative option. -
Action of 1,25(OH)2D3 on Human Asthmatic Bronchial Fibroblasts: Implications for Airway Remodeling in Asthma
(2020)Background: Airway fibroblasts are major contributors to the histopathological feature of airway remodeling in asthma by their implication in the cell invasiveness and profibrogenic secretory phenotype observed in ... -

(2020)Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate acute cardiac injury in COVID-19 patients and its association with adverse outcomes including mortality in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) population. Methods: A retrospective study ... -
Acute heart failure presentations and outcomes during the fasting month of Ramadan: an observational report from seven Middle Eastern countries
(2018)Background: Fasting during the month of Ramadan is practiced by over 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide. It remains unclear, however, how this change in lifestyle affects heart failure, a condition that has reached epidemic ... -
Adoption of the ADA/EASD guidelines in 10 Eastern and Southern European countries: Physician survey and good clinical practice recommendations from an international expert panel
(2020)Abstract: The aim of the present study was to assess the adoption of the ADA/EASD guidelines in a convenience sample of physicians from Eastern and Southern Europe, the barriers to the implementation of these guidelines ... -
AFM-compatible microfluidic platform for affinity-based capture and nanomechanical characterization of circulating tumor cells
(2020)Abstract: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) carried by the patient’s bloodstream are known to lead to the metastatic spread of cancer. It is becoming increasingly clear that an understanding of the nanomechanical characteristics ... -
African Swine Fever, the forgotten pandemic
(2021)Summary: African Swine Fever (ASF) is one of the most important diseases prevalent in swine populations. In recent times, it has devasted the pork industry—both commercial and backyard—throughout much of the world. ASF ... -
Age-related alterations and senescence of mesenchymal stromal cells: Implications for regenerative treatments of bones and joints
(2021)Abstract: The most common clinical manifestations of age-related musculoskeletal degeneration are osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, and these represent an enormous burden on modern society. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) ... -
