Background: Hospitalized heart failure (HHF) is a challenging clinical entity in cardiology. Data on HHF patients from the Middle East is scarce. Observational studies may provide an initial insight that could improve disease management and guide the design of future clinical trials. Objective: To evaluate the management, in-hospital mortality, and [...]

Two new heteroleptic Pd(II) complexes of sodium 4-(2-pyrimidyl)piperazine-1-carbodithioate with tris-p-flourophenylphosphine (1) and tris-p-chlorophenylphosphine (2) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear NMR {1H, 13C and 31P} and single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurement. In both complexes, Pd exhibit pseudo square planner geometry mediated by SS chelate, P and Cl. In [...]

In this paper1, the impact of life-style habits (behavioral including sleep, eating, body type, physical activities and health condition) on an individual’s health in terms of physical capabilities is studied using data mining techniques. The study aims at finding and recommending the best life-style habits that will help an individual [...]

Nanosized copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) nanoparticles have been prepared by conventional (CCM) and microwave (MCM) combustion methods using Hibiscus rosa sinensis plant extract as a fuel. XRD and rietveld analysis confirmed the formation of single cubic phase and with crystallite size varying from 25 to 62 nm owing to grain growth [...]

Machine odor detection has developed into an important aspect of our lives with various applications of it. From detecting food spoilage to diagnosis of diseases, it has been developed and tested in various fields and industries for specific purposes. This project, artificial-neural-network-based electronic nose (ANNeNose), is a machine-learning-based e-nose system [...]

The objective of this study is to identify the most important air pollutants based on their individual contribution to Air Quality Index (AQI) and to determine the major air pollution sources in Bahrain. Data sets from seventeen air quality monitoring sites were evaluated using XLSTAT 2014 and Statistical Package for [...]

Leishmaniasis is a devastating tropical disease with limited therapeutic options. Depending on recently reported active anti-leishmanial compounds, we designed and synthesized a series of click modifiable 1,2,3-triazole and thiosemicarbazone hybrids. Most of the synthesized compounds showed comparable to superior activity to a well-established anti-leishmanial drug miltefosine. Compounds 2 and 10a [...]

Monitoring the use of colored additives in food commodities due to their potential carcinogenic effects is important for regulating their safe use. Herein, we test the cytotoxicity of food dyes against human neuroblastoma cell (SH-SY5Y) and report the development and applications of a novel and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on [...]

Aim: Monascin and ankaflavin, the major fractions of the fungal-derived monascus yellow pigments, were incorporated with the herbal drug, resveratrol (RSV) within the core of folate-conjugated casein micelles (FA-CAS MCs, F1) for active targeting. PEGylated RSV-phospholipid complex bilayer enveloping casein-loaded micelles (PEGPC-CAS MCs) were also developed as passive-Targeted nanosystem. Results: [...]
