Abstract Background Developing effective public health policies and strategies for interventions necessitates an assessment of the structure, dynamics, disease rates and causes of death in a population. Lately, Qatar has undertaken development resurgence in health and e...

Retinitis pigmentosa is often caused by mutations that affect the activity or transport of rhodopsin, but some mutations cause disease even though an apparently functional protein is produced. Here the authors show that three such enigmatic mutants retain scramblase act...

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Evidence pointing towards a more efficacious model of care using a biopsychosocial approach for LBP management highlights the need to understand the pain-related beliefs of patients and those ...

أصدرت كل من دول الخليج، المملكة العربية السعودية ومملكة البحرين ودولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة، إلى جانب جمهورية مصر العربية، بيانات منفصلة ضد دولة قطر تضمنت ما يدل على محاصرتها برا وبحرا وجوا. وقد عزت تلك الدول قراراتها إلى أسباب أمنية واحترازية، مدعية أن دولة قطر تقوم...

Herein, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were treated using radio-frequency plasma discharge in the presence of air, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and their mixtures to introduce new chemical functionalities. The surface properties of treated LDPE were qualitatively and...

The new high-throughput “omics” technologies have recently opened the possibility to identify molecular changes and metabolic pathways in each cancer type with the possibility of molecular tumor subclassification and identification of a more reliable prognosis and appro...

A theoretical model is presented to compute the electronic band structures and optical absorption spectra for twisted incommensurate few-layers graphene (tLFG) systems of arbitrary architecture. This is accomplished using an integrated virtual crystal approximation and ...

Through their functional diversification, distinct lineages of CD4+ T cells play key roles in either driving or constraining immune-mediated pathology. Transcription factors are critical in the generation of cellular diversity, and negative regulators antagonistic to al...
