Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Recent studies suggest that modulation of adenosine signaling, potent immunosuppressive pathway, promising approach for treatment RA. Extracellular can come from two sources: transport intracellular hydrolysis extracellular adenine nucleotides by CD73. In this study, we investigated the susceptibility CD73-deficient C57BL/6 mice to collagen-induced (CIA), well-established mouse model...
Multiplex molecular panels are replacing conventional methods for the detection of sexually transmitted infections. In current study, we evaluated performance two commercial multiplex assays, EUROArray STI and Allplex essential detecting six infections.The diagnostic assays was against a panel 105 positive DNA samples identified by in-house real-time PCR including Ureaplasma parvum, urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea. Samples...
Food allergy (FA) is a global health problem with an ongoing rise in prevalence, especially developed countries. It has been reported to be most prevalent children, although cases adults have increasing as well. FA may lead life-threatening clinical manifestations. Data Lebanon and the Middle East are limited. To our knowledge, few studies tackled its prevalence children this region.This study aims at determining self-reported of schoolchildren (ages 3-17 years) describes...
Abstract Hypertension is an important public health concern of high prevalence among adults. It associated with increased mortality rate. The hypertension in Lebanon has during the last decades, affecting around one-third Lebanese population. Since diagnosis and treatment a better prognosis, annual screening raising awareness about this ‘silent killer’ disease extreme value. We conducted cross-sectional survey various cities 2019. recruited adults (≥18 years old) from different sites,...
Introduction: Hypertension and osteoporosis are age-related health risks differentially expressed in men women. Here we have analyzed their prevalence a population-based cohort (Cartagene) of Quebec, Canada. This cohort, established 2010-2011, is composed 20 000 randomly selected subjects 40 to 70 years old. The recruitment the participants was done by Québec Health Board. Results: Our analysis shows that 32% hypertensive, 12.8% osteopenic 0.6% osteoporotic. We observed hypertensive lower...
Background: Seven out of the top ten countries globally with highest levels PM2.5 and PM10 are located in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Particles several pollutants such as PM (PM10 PM2.5) can act a vector for spread airborne microorganisms, including viruses, directly infect other people's mucosae extended survival air bioaerosols onto surfaces causing delayed infections. Methods: The relation between prevalence (the number cases/ 100,000 population) mortality rates SARS-CoV-2...
e24026 Background: Cancer is mainly a disease of the elderly with more than 75% patients aged 65 years and at diagnosis. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) usually used to assess cancer patients¹. However, its sensitivity in predicting their outcome questionable. Methods: We investigated whether specific oncologic markers could predict chemotherapy toxicity cancer-related death prospective single center study 110 chemo-naive advanced cancer. All underwent CGA. Frailty as defined by...
