Abstract Following treatment with a demethylating agent, 5 of 11 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) lines showed increased expression hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) activator inhibitor type 2 (HAI-2/SPINT2/Bikunin), Kunitz-type protease that regulates HGF activity. As activating mutations in the MET proto-oncogene (the receptor) cause familial RCC, we investigated whether HAI-2/SPINT2 might act as RCC tumor suppressor gene. We found transcriptional silencing HAI-2 was associated promoter region...
Persistent imbalance between work demands and resources seems to be a crucial contributor the development of burnout among medical professionals. Yet, it that Middle East is lacking studies analyzing psychological well-being's residents. Hence, we aimed conduct nationwide study understand address depression in residents UAE.A multicenter, cross-sectional was designed evaluate professional gap.Our results indicate 75.5% (216/286) UAE had moderate-to-high emotional exhaustion (EE), 84%...
Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the most prevalent type of diabetes among adults and constitutes around 90% all cases. Substantial evidence demonstrates that depression in context associated with a wide range adverse consequences such as reduced adherence to prescribed treatment regimen, lower quality life, higher fasting glucose HbA1c levels, health expenditures. Methods: This study was conducted assess T2DM patients attending diabetic clinics, primary healthcare centers...
Cytokine storm is a marker of severity and severe mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia.

Results: Of 123,944 individuals who booked appointment for service, 106,408 (86%) showed up. Most patients were 19–59 years old, UAE nationals,...
This study was undertaken to establish the UAE population's normal BMI and HC growth charts. charts represent values at each age gender-specific percentiles. The UAE's development is unique in its cultural practices genetic makeup; therefore, extrapolating health determinants from other nations unwise. It is, essential have reference parameters for population. In this cross-sectional study, we measured Head Circumference 20,998 infants children, of both sexes, 0–18 years all seven states...
Promoter region hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing is a frequent cause of tumour suppressor gene (TSG) inactivation in many human cancers. Previously, to identify candidate epigenetically inactivated TSGs renal cell carcinoma (RCC), we monitored changes expression four RCC lines after treatment with the demethylating agent 5-azacytidine. This enabled us HAI-2/SPINT2 as novel TSG. To further TSGs, undertook bioinformatic molecular genetic evaluation 60 genes differentially...
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health problem adversely affecting mothers, their newborns, and other members of the family. Although PPD common potentially dangerous, only minority cases are identified in primary care settings during routine care, majority depressed mothers community lies unrecognized therefore untreated.In this study, total 1500 were approached randomly, 808 accepted to participate, 504 within inclusion criteria (women who had birth singleton full-term...
Objectives: This paper aimed to assess the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) in healthcare facilities Dubai, largest city United Arab Emirates (UAE) and a location where extensive services are provided. It explored challenges, milestones, accomplishments associated with this process.Methods: A situation analysis was conducted by contacting 2,089 Dubai determine whether they had implemented EMR their practices identify challenges faced during process. Additionally, Electronic...
BACKGROUND: United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a heterogeneous population consisting of more than 160 nationalities and 85% the being non‐UAE. In 2007, Dubai Blood Donation Centre (DBDC), major local supplier blood in UAE, introduced six‐minipool nucleic acid test (NAT) for hepatitis B virus (HBV), C (HCV), human immunodeficiency (HIV), which 2008 upgraded to individual‐donation (ID)‐NAT. The aim this study was analyze efficacy donor screening program UAE evaluate impact NAT on yield residual...
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence hemoglobinopathy carriers in United Arab Emirates (UAE) nationals subjected mandatory premarital screening Dubai over a 4-year period. Data from UAE who underwent by Health Authority between January 2007 and December 2010 were collected analyzed. Premarital is based on complete blood counts (CBC) hemoglobin (Hb) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Among 6,420 screened, 8.5% (n = 545) suspected be carriers. following carrier...
Background: To ensure an adequate and safe blood supply, it is crucial to select suitable donors according stringent eligibility criteria. Understanding the reasons for donor deferral can help in planning more efficient recruitment strategies evaluating selection This study aims define pre-donation rates, causes of deferral, characteristics deferred Dubai. Materials methods: retrospective was conducted on all who presented allogeneic donation between January 1, 2010, until June 30, 2013,...
Objective: To test the hypothesis that learning in an online classroom would result similar outcomes as traditional when using a flipped pedagogy. Design: Randomized controlled trial. 274 subjects enrolled Neuro-otology training program for non Neuro-otologists of 25 hours held over 3-day period. Subjects were randomized into "control" group attending and "trial" equal numbers participating synchronous internet streaming Adobe Connect e-learning platform. Main outcome measures: Pre post...
Global data indicate that cervical cancer is the fourth most common among women worldwide. Important factors affect interventions for early diagnosis of include social beliefs and values poor knowledge. These may contribute to women’s participation in screening have a significant impact on decisions take preventive action. The present study was conducted with 599 UAE between September 2016 March 2017. A cross-sectional survey determine knowledge about screening, demographic characteristics...
Obesity is a metabolic disease that widely prevalent with approximately 600 million people classified as obese worldwide. Its etiology multifactorial and involves complex interplay between genes the environment. Over past few decades, obesity rates among Emirati population have been increasing. The aim of this study was to investigate association candidate gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), namely FTO (rs9939609) VDR (rs1544410), in UAE population. This case-control which genomic...
