(2022-07)Abstract: Hearing loss is a common and complex condition that can occur at any age, can be inherited or acquired, and is associated with a remarkably wide array of etiologies. The diverse causes of hearing loss, combined ... -
Comparison of Three Circular Frames in Lower Limb Deformity Correction: A Biomechanical Study
(2022)Background: The use of circular frames in correcting lower limb deformity is well-established and has evolved dramatically over the years. Three new frames have been introduced recently, and this study is set to compare ... -
Assessment as Learning in Medical Education: Feasibility and Perceived Impact of Student-Generated Formative Assessments
(2022-07)Background: Self-regulated learning (SRL) is gaining widespread recognition as a vital competency that is desirable to sustain lifelong learning, especially relevant to health professions education. Contemporary educational ... -
Kawasaki Disease Arab Initiative [Kawarabi]: Establishment and Results of a Multicenter Survey
(2022)Abstract: Studies on Kawasaki disease (KD) in Arab countries are scarce, often providing incomplete data. This along with the benefts of multicenter research collaboratives led to the creation of the KD Arab Initiative ... -
A Web-Based Public Health Intervention for Addressing Vaccine Misinformation: Protocol for Analyzing Learner Engagement and Impacts on the Hesitancy to Vaccinate
(2022)Background: A barrier to successful COVID-19 vaccine campaigns is the ongoing misinformation pandemic, or infodemic, which is contributing to vaccine hesitancy. Web-based population health interventions have been shown ... -
Diversity of Hemodynamic Reactive Profiles across Persons—Psychosocial Implications for Personalized Medicine
(2022-07)Abstract: This study analyzed the individual differences in hemodynamic time patterns and reactivity to cognitive and emotional tasks, and explored the diversity of psycho-physiological profiles that could be used for the ... -
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 ... -
Effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on blood donation and blood banks in India
