(2023-12)Abstract: Introduction: Acinetobacter spp., in particular A. baumannii, are opportunistic pathogens linked to nosocomial pneumonia (particularly ventilator-associated pneumonia), central-line catheter-associated blood ... -
The effect of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors on markers of subclinical atherosclerosis
(2023-12)Abstract: Background: Despite the widespread use of classical cholesterol-lowering drugs to mitigate the adverse impacts of dyslipidaemia on atherosclerosis, many patients still face a substantial residual risk of developing ... -
Anticoagulation-Associated Bleeding in Patients Screened for Atrial Fibrillation versus Usual Care-A Post Hoc Analysis from the LOOP Study
(2023-12)Abstract: Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence is rising; however, data on the bleeding risks associated with the detection of subclinical AF are needed. Objective Our objective was to determine the bleeding ... -
Overexpression and nonsynonymous mutations of UDP-glycosyltransferases are potentially associated with pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles funestus
(2023-12)Abstract: UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) enzymes are pivotal in insecticide resistance by transforming hydrophobic substrates into more hydrophilic forms for efficient cell elimination. This study provides the first ... -
Cardio-Metabolic Health of Offspring Exposed in Utero to Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus and Anti-Retroviral Treatment: A Systematic Review
(2023-12)Abstract: Background: Antiretroviral treatment (ART) use during pregnancy continues to rise as it is known to decrease the likelihood of HIV transmission from mother to child. However, it is still unknown whether foetal ... -
Epicardial adipose tissue and subclinical incident atrial fibrillation as detected by continuous monitoring: a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study
(2023-12)Abstract: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has endocrine and paracrine functions and has been associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the association between EAT, determined ... -
The Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Renal Function as Adjunctive to Insulin in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes: An Updated Multilevel Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
(2024-01)Abstract: Introduction: This systematic review aimed to summarize the existing evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors on albuminuria ... -
Emergence of highly resistant Candida auris in the United Arab Emirates: a retrospective analysis of evolving national trends
(2024-01)Abstract: Introduction: The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control lists Candida auris, given its global emergence, multidrug resistance, high mortality, and persistent transmissions in health care settings as one of ... -
Unraveling the developmental dynamic of visual exploration of social interactions in autism
(2023-12)Abstract: Atypical deployment of social gaze is present early on in toddlers with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Yet, studies characterizing the developmental dynamic behind it are scarce. Here, we used a data-driven ... -
Vaccine breakthrough hypoxemic COVID-19 pneumonia in patients with auto-Abs neutralizing type I IFNs
(2023-12)Abstract: Life-threatening "breakthrough" cases of critical COVID-19 are attributed to poor or waning antibody (Ab) response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in individuals already at risk. Preexisting auto-Abs neutralizing type I ... -
Oligogenic inheritance in severe adult obesity
(2024-01)Abstract: Background/objective: The genetic architecture of extreme non-syndromic obesity in adults remains to be elucidated. A range of genes are known to cause monogenic obesity, but even when pathogenic mutations are ... -
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Triiodothyronine Suppression and Withdrawal Versus Thyrogen Injections in Thyroid Cancer Assessments
(2023-12)Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the specificity and effectiveness of triiodothyronine (T3) suppression and withdrawal, as compared to the conventional diagnostic approach using Thyrogen recombinant ... -
Editorial: Occupation and cancer: new insights into burden, risk factors, and prevention
(2023-12)Abstract: Occupational cancers (OC) are the result of exposure to carcinogenic agents at the workplace. The most frequent types of OC are lung cancer, mesothelioma, bladder cancer, and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) (1, ... -
A Rare Presentation of a Branchial Cleft Cyst: Can It Cause Syncope in a Pediatric Patient?
(2023-12)Abstract: Branchial cleft cysts (BCCs) are a congenital malformation most commonly seen in children and adolescents. BCCs are usually incidental findings and are benign in nature. In this report, we present a case of a ... -
