Genotype-phenotype correlation identified a novel SARS-CoV-2 variant possibly linked to severe disease
(2021)
Abstract:
The geographic location and heterogeneous multi-ethnic population of Dubai (United Arab Emirates; UAE) provide a unique setting to explore the global molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 and relationship between ...
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. ...
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 ...
N6-Acetyl-L-Lysine and p-Cresol as Key Metabolites in the Pathogenesis of COVID-19 in Obese Patients
(2022)
Abstract:
Despite the growing number of the vaccinated population, COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), remains a global health burden. Obesity, a metabolic syndrome affecting ...
Molecular Basis of Cardiac and Vascular Injuries Associated With COVID-19
(2020)
Background:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The presence of the pre-existing cardiac disease is associated with an increased likelihood of ...
Cell free ACE2 RNA: A potential biomarker of COVID-19 severity
(2023)
Abstract:
Despite the downward trend of COVID-19 pandemic and increased immunity of the general population, COVID19 is still an elusive disease with risks due to emerging variants. Fast and reliable diagnosis of COVID-19 ...
