Assistive Technology is playing an enabler role in the life of Dawn Syndrome. Assistive Technology can allow Down Syndrome to engage in the normal life activities and be more social and independent. The Arab countries are providing vital effort on facilitating the life of Dawn Syndrome and encouraging their engagement [...]

Marine biofouling has significant environmental and industrial impacts. Biofouling is considered a specific problem for a wide range of coastal and marine industries, including aquaculture, shipping activities and ports. Colonization and growth of biofouling depend on the complex interactions of biological, physical and chemical factors. Anthropogenic disturbances from coastal modification [...]

Objectives: To estimate the level of knowledge on osteoporosis among Bahraini women. 2. To determine relationship between the background variables with the level of knowledge. Methods: A cross sectional survey study consisting of 400 Bahraini women were included in the study using convenience sampling technique in a community settings. The [...]

Nurses specialized in heart failure management constitute a vital key agent in assessing the signs and symptoms of cardiac deterioration, monitor therapy compliance, afford education, psychosocial support, and counseling. Additionally, they act as the healthcare liaison for the patients and their families at any stage of the disease. The study [...]

Herbal medicines are widely accepted as a primary source of healthcare due to their natural origin. However, this widespread popularity is counterbalanced with the lack of relevant research. The need to account for this deficiency motivated the present study which aims at (1) assessing physicians’ knowledge and attitude toward herbal [...]

Objectives: Between 20 to 50% of medical imaging examinations are considered inappropriate, and unnecessary ionizing radiation exposures may lead to cancer. We hypothesized that Bahraini patients who self-present for ionizing radiation procedures are not aware of, and lack the requisite knowledge of, the inherent risks associated with their use than [...]

An electrochemical DNA biosensor was successfully fabricated by using (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods synthesized using microwave-assisted chemical bath deposition method on thermally oxidized SiO2 thin films. The structural quality and morphology of the ZnO nanorods were determined by employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction [...]

The sustainable and eco friendly green synthesis report on the use of plant extract alternate to chemicals has been discussed. In this work, opuntia plant extract is used as a natural reagent to synthesize nanoparticles. Herein, we demonstrate two methods namely, conventional and microwave method for the synthesis of nanoparticles [...]

Curcumin is more soluble in ethanol, dimethylsulfoxide, methanol and acetone than in water. In this study, nanocurcumin combined with 8 mT AC static magnetic field was used to enhance cellular uptake, bioavailability, and ultimate efficiency of curcumin against prostate cancer cell line (PC3), four bacteria strains (two Gram positive: Micrococcus [...]

Moisture damage and aging occurs simultaneously in asphalt binder while it is on road pavement in service life and not easy to avoid. This study tries to minimize those two effects with the utilization of carbon nano tubes (CNT) with asphalt binder with the help of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). [...]
