The global and continental crash death rate trends, adjusted for under-reporting, death definition, and missing data, are analyzed, modelled, and compared with international findings considering data for 215 countries for 35 years. Although global reported mortality rates required 25% to 44% adjustments, that estimated by World Health Organization (WHO) and World [...]

Medicinal plants have long been used by Bahrainis to combat a wide spectrum of diseases. To the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first quantitative ethnobotanical study of the country, aimed to quantify the ethnobotanical knowledge of ten native medicinal plants commonly used by herbalists for treating various [...]

Objectives To determine the level of awareness of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and to assess attitudes towards receiving the vaccine among men and women in Bahrain. Design A cross-sectional study. An interview-based questionnaire was used to measure HPV knowledge and attitude towards HPV vaccine. Setting Ten randomly selected primary [...]

Objective: To assesses the efficacy of a hypocaloric low-carbohydrate diet ​​in overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Design: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Setting: Istituto Santa Margherita, University of Pavia, Italy. Method: Patients were enrolled based on the following criteria: both genders, age 30–85, Caucasian origin, BMI between 24.9 [...]

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the world and is characterized by pain, various disabilities and loss of quality of life. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is recommended as first-line therapy. CS of non-animal origin is of great interest for safety and sustainability reasons. This study aims to [...]

This paper aims to provide an in-depth investigation of the role of social media images in conveying the meaning of “power” and “empowerment” in public antiviolence campaigns that aim to empower women in the Middle East. The research raises three qualitative questions of the way anti-violence adverts have represented Arab [...]

Signalized intersections are major components for any transportation network as the traffic operation at these intersections will significantly affect the operation for the whole network. Dynamic lane assignment (DLA) represents an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) technique that can be used to enhance the traffic operations at signalized intersection by utilizing [...]

This study examines the association between the two sets of variables namely, ‘Technological readiness’ and ‘Higher education and training’ through twelve countries in the Middle East using the findings of the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) 2012-2018. We employed Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) which is based on the data published by [...]

Background: The mechanisms of ELF-EMFs action on the brain are still poorly understood. One of the possible explanations of these effects could be due to the increase in the intracellular Ca2+. This increase in Ca2+ may lead to a decrease in cholinergic activity. These changes in brain activities may lead [...]

Herein, we present a greener approach to achieve an ultrasensitive, selective, and viable sensor engineered by amino acids as a recognition layer for simultaneous electrochemical sensing of toxic heavy metals (HMs). Electrochemical techniques like electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) were applied to [...]
