Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of deaths worldwide. Stage IV CRC patients have poor prognosis with a five-year survival rate 14%. Liver metastasis main mortality in patients. Since current screening tests several drawbacks, effective stable non-invasive biomarkers such as microRNA (miRNA) are needed. We aim to investigate expression miRNA (miR-21, miR-19a, miR-23a, miR-29a, miR-145, miR-203, miR-155, miR-210, miR-31, and miR-345) plasma 62 Lebanese 44 healthy subjects...
In light of the inconclusive evidence on association between vitamin C status and colorectal cancer (CRC) outcome, this study assessed prognostic value in participants with metastatic CRC (mCRC).Adults mCRC cancer-free controls were recruited prospective cohort to allow for comparison levels healthy individuals from same population. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, medical variables, BRAF KRAS mutations, as well Vitamin plasma level food intake evaluated. Predictors diminished via multivariate...
Antimicrobial Resistance, a global concern, worsened with the COVID-19 pandemic that caused surge of critically ill patients, increased antimicrobial consumption, and spread infections multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). Stewardship Programs (ASP) aim to optimize utilization fight resistance. We describe ASP experience study consumption MDRO rates among patients at tertiary care center in Beirut. compiled interventions, defined as team recommendations, from January 2019 until December...
Adequate diet and lifestyle practices are postulated to improve health enhance wellbeing of cancer survivors. Despite the heavy burden in Lebanon, little is known about quality This cross-sectional study assessed compliance survivors remission with American Cancer Society/American Institute Research Fund (ACS/AICR) physical activity guidelines.
Abstract Background Since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), People Living with HIV (PLHIV) have become more prone to developing chronic illnesses, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), than suffer from AIDS related conditions. The global burden CVD associated has tripled over last two decades, especially in low/middle income countries. Scarce data exist on prevalence and risk factors among PLHIV Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. Therefore, we aim examine calculate CV a...
