A novel reconstructive approach of the lumbar vertebral column from 2D MRI to 3D models
(2022-11)
Introduction:
Low back pain (LBP), arising from the lumbar vertebral column (LVC), is a global burden, ranking highest in terms of disability. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), there is a high prevalence of LBP in the ...
Three-dimensional evaluation of scapular morphology in primary glenohumeral arthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, and asymptomatic shoulders
(2021)
Aim and background:
Recently, the 3D morphology of the coracoacromial complex in non-pathologic shoulders have been described. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the coracoacromial complex in pathological ...
Deep Learning Based Automatic Assessment of Lung Impairment in COVID-19 Pneumonia: Predicting Markers of Hypoxia With Computer Vision
(2022-07)
Background:
Hypoxia is a potentially life-threatening condition that can be seen in pneumonia patients.
Objective:
We aimed to develop and test an automatic assessment of lung impairment in COVID-19 associated ...
Dimensional analysis of the bicipital groove and its associated pathology in a South African population
(2020)
Abstract:
The bicipital groove (BG) forms an indentation between the greater and lesser humeral tubercles and lodges the long head of biceps brachii tendon (LHBBT) along with the ascending branch of the circumflex humeral ...
Reconnoitering the Role of Long-Noncoding RNAs in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Descriptive Review
(2021)
Abstract:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of hereditary cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by an unexplained non-dilated hypertrophy of the left ventricle with a conserved or elevated ejection ...
In death there is life: perceptions of the university community regarding body donation for educational purposes in the United Arab Emirates
(2021)
Abstract:
Human body dissection is the traditional instructional method for anatomy education worldwide, providing a kinaesthetic learning experience that is often challenging to achieve with other teaching techniques. ...
Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a Distance Learning Framework to Expedite Medical Education during COVID-19 pandemic: A Proof-of-Concept Study
(2021)
Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced medical schools to suspend on-campus live-sessions and shift to distance-learning (DL). This precipitous shift presented medical educators with a challenge, ‘to create a ...
