Effect of Common Medications on the Expression of SARS-CoV-2 Entry Receptors in Kidney Tissue
(2020)
Abstract: Besides the respiratory system, severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was shown to affect other essential organs such as the kidneys. Early kidney involvement during the course ...
Regulation of Angiotensin- Converting Enzyme 2 in Obesity: Implications for COVID-19
(2020)
Abstract:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Age, smoking, obesity, and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes have been described as risk factors for severe ...
Multiple early introductions of SARS‑CoV‑2 into a global travel hub in the Middle East
(2020)
Abstract:
International travel played a significant role in the early global spread of SARS-CoV-2. Understanding transmission patterns from different regions of the world will further inform global dynamics of the pandemic. ...
Genotyping of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus from the United Arab Emirates
(2020)
Abstract:
Reports from Arabian Gulf countries have demonstrated emergence of novel methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. To address the lack of data from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), genetic ...
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Methicillin‑Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Colonization among Clinical Medical Students
(2019)
Background:
This study was carried out to assess the prevalence and determinants of methicillin‑resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization among clinical clerkship medical students in Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
A ...
The prevalence of novel periodontal pathogens and bacterial complexes in Stage II generalized periodontitis based on 16S rRNA next generation sequencing
(2021)
Objective:
To define the subgingival microbial profile associated with Stage II generalized periodontitis using next-generation sequencing and to determine the relative abundance of novel periodontal pathogens and bacterial ...
Sustained Low Incidence Rates of Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infections in the Intensive Care Unit
(2021)
Background:
Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is an important cause of increased morbidity and mortality in ICUs. The occurrence of CLABSI in significantly higher in developing countries and contributes ...
SEAHIR: A Specialized Compartmental Model for COVID-19
(2021)
Abstract:
The SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed) model is widely used in epidemiology to mathematically model the spread of infectious diseases with incubation periods. However, the SEIR model prototype is generic ...
A pilot metagenomic study reveals that community derived mobile phones are reservoirs of viable pathogenic microbes
(2021)
Abstract:
There is increasing attention focussed on the risks associated with mobile phones possibly serving as ‘Trojan Horse’ fomites for microbial transmission in healthcare settings. However, little is reported on the ...
Phytic Acid Demonstrates Rapid Antibiofilm Activity and Inhibits Biofilm Formation When Used as a Surface Conditioning Agent
(2023)
Abstract:
Root canal infections are associated with biofilms and are treated with chemical irrigants with a high success rate. However, treatment failure does arise, which is attributed primarily to resistance exhibited ...
