Although water pipe tobacco smoking is common in Lebanon and Syria, prevalence neighboring Jordan uncertain. The purposes of this study were (a) to assess the among university students (b) determine associations between sociodemographic variables population.A trained interviewer administered a questionnaire randomly selected at four prominent universities Jordan. assessed data, personal history use, attitudes regarding smoking. We used logistic regression independent attitudinal factors each...
Medicinal plants grown under semi-arid conditions generally reveal significantly higher concentrations of relevant natural products than identical the same species, which are cultivated in moderate climates. So far, there is very limited information on this well-known phenomenon. In present study, corresponding data compiled and aspects discussed. It turns out that metabolic reactions triggered by drought stress responsible for product accumulation regions. The related plant physiological...
Cancer is one of the most important health burdens worldwide, affecting many people and putting huge pressure on healthcare system. There are multiple driving forces, increasing attention has been gained over past two decades regarding chronic inflammation, which represents a pivotal factor owing to its ability establish or maintain an environment that permissive for tumor initiation, growth, progression. This review details interplay between inflammation cancer by highlighting how fuels...
This study examines the effect of nanoparticles with zinc oxides (ZnONPs) on diabetic nephropathy, which is primary cause mortality for patients end-stage renal disease. Diabetes in adult male rats was induced via intraperitoneal injection streptozotocin. ZnONPs were intraperitoneally administered to daily 7 weeks. associated increases blood glucose level, 24-h urinary albumin excretion rate, glomerular basement membrane thickness, oxidative stress markers, and mRNA or protein expression...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> During the past two decades, attention of public health has been drawn to premarital genetic screening (PGS) programs reduce birth defects and avoid disorders. In Jordan, high rate hemoglobinopathies compelled government implement an obligatory PGS program before marriage. Therefore, objective this study was investigate knowledge, opinion, practice young Jordanians concerning PGS. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Using a...
Sulfurous springs have been traditionally used in medical treatment for different purposes. These beneficial effects of sulfurous water attributed to the presence compounds mainly form hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The purpose present study is explore long-term exposure on oxidative stress and antioxidant biomarkers responses individuals who lived nearby springs. studied area was Al- Hammah springs, which located northern part Jordan Rift Valley host many Residents are continuously exposed gases...
Jordan, located in the Levant region, is an area crucial for investigation of human migration between Africa and Eurasia. However, genetic history Jordanians has yet to be clarified, including origin Bedouins today resident Jordan. Here, we provide new data on autosomal independent markers two Jordanian population samples (Bedouins general population) begin examine diversity inside this country information about position these populations context Mediterranean Middle East area. The analyzed...
Data sharing is an encouraged practice to support research in all fields. For that purpose, it important examine perceptions and concerns of researchers about biomedical data sharing, which was investigated the current study.This a cross-sectional survey study distributed among Jordan, as example developing countries. The consisted questions demographics respondent's attitudes toward data.Among participants, 46.9% (n=82) were positive regarding making their available public, whereas 53.1%...
Daphne mucronata Royle and Thymelaea hirsuta (L.) Endl both belong to the Thymelaeaceae family. Both species are used traditionally treat several diseases along with various daily applications by Jordanian Bedouins. Traditionally, those identified through personal proficiency, which could be misleading due human errors or lack of expertise. This study aims investigate an effective DNA barcoding method identify characterize plant at molecular level. were collected from ancient city Petra in...
Informed consent is an obligatory requirement for research engaging human subjects. form (ICF) should be provided subjects to confirm their willingness voluntary participation in a study. Ethical and legal obligations necessitate the presence of informed essential items built into ICF.To evaluate content ICFs obtained from different genetic studies accomplished Jordan adherence ethical guidelines proposed by International Conference on Harmonization-Good Clinical Practice (ICHGCP).A total 44...
Among the challenges of health research are sharing and future use human biological samples. Usually, participants show different opinions ethical concerns regarding usage their In this study, we investigated perspectives Jordanian bio-samples collection, storage, use, sharing.The study is cross sectional, questionnaire-based, involved 248 from Jordan. Data collected included demographic, qualitative, quantitative information participants. The questionnaire was accomplished in Arabic...
MTHFD1 and CBS genes have key roles in folate homocysteine metabolism. Many studies reported an association between cancer pathogenesis different functional SNPs of involved the main metabolism transsulfuration pathway. The current population-based, case-control study examined G1958A, T401C, 844ins68 insertion with breast (BC) risk Jordanian women. studied population included 200 female BC subjects age-matched controls. targeted genotypes G1958A T401C were amplified via PCR followed by...
The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -13910 C>T has proved a good predictor of the incidence lactase persistence in Europe and South Asia. Yet, this is not case Near East, although region passageway between two continents. Lactase associated with cattle breeding, which originated Fertile Crescent East spread later during Middle Neolithic throughout Europe. Here we analyzed five SNPs (-13915 T>G (rs41380347), (rs4988235), -13907 C>G (rs41525747), -14009 (rs869051967), -14010 G>C...
Ampullaviruses are unique among viruses. They live in extreme environments and have special bottle-shaped architecture. These features make them useful tools for biotechnology. viruses compact genomes. encode a range of enzymes proteins. Their natural environment highlights their suitability industrial applications. Ongoing research explores ways which these can improve enzyme stability. also employed the creation new biosensors development bioremediation techniques. High coinfection rates...
