Tobacco Smoking Using Midwakh Is an Emerging Health
Introduction Accurate information about the prevalence and types of tobacco use is essential to deliver effective public health policy. We aimed to study the prevalence and modes of tobacco consumption in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), particularly focusing on the use of Midwakh (Arabic traditional pipe). Methods We studied 170,430 UAE nationals aged ≥18 years (44% males and 56% females) in

Assessment of Opioid Cross-reactivity and Provider
incidence of allergic cross-reactivity between the 3 different clinical classes of opioid medications. In addition, the inci-dence of allergic cross-reactivity between opioid chemical classes was also evaluated. Patients were first grouped by these clinical classes of opioids on the basis of their allergy history (Table 1).
ADVERSE DRUG REACTION MONITORING AND REPORTING
Adverse drug reactions (ADR) contribute significantly in health care cost through increased patient morbidity and mortality. Thus, there is an urgent need to create awareness among health care...
United Arab Emirates Economy: Population, GDP, Inflation
The United Arab Emirates’ economic freedom score is 70.9, making its economy the 24th freest in the 2025 Index. Its score is 0.7 point higher than last year. The UAE is ranked 1st out of 14
- Does DBP contamination increase microbial correlation?
- Similarly, the decreased average path distance (GD) and increased average cluster coefficients (avgCC) in the T3 treatment further demonstrated the increase in microbial correlation under DBP contamination. Table 2. Topological properties of the molecular ecological networks of microbial communities of T1, T2, T3 and T4.
- Does DBP affect the microbial community?
- The composition of the microbial community was significantly affected by DBP and Cd. The relative abundances of the genera Lysobacter, Azoarcus, and Terrimonas were higher in the T2 treatment than those in the other treatments.
- Which bacterial isolate can not use DBP during DBP degradation?
- One bacterial isolate (Cupriavidus metallidurans ZM16), which could not utilize DBP, was proven to have positive interactions with strain ZM05 during DBP degradation. The DBP degradation performance was clearly recovered when cocultured with strain ZM16 under Cd stress (Fig. 6 a and b).
- Do DBP and CD affect microbial co-occurrence networks?
- Collectively, these findings demonstrated that DBP and Cd altered the structure and composition of the microbial community and suggested that the contamination shaped the bacterial communities to a much greater degree than the fungi communities. 3.3. DBP and Cd shaped microbial co-occurrence networks
- Which DBP precursors could be halogenated during chlorine and Chloramine disinfection?
- Based on the correlations between halogenated DBP formation and UV absorbance/EEM fluorescence spectroscopic parameters, it can be proposed that proteins and humic substances were the primary DBP precursors that could be halogenated during chlorine and chloramine disinfection.
- How does co-contamination affect DBP degradation?
- The upregulation of microbial metabolism in diverse environments, metabolic pathways, and carbon metabolism in the T4 treatment was consistent with the rapid degradation of DBP under co-contamination. 3.5. Cooperator ZM16 enhanced the DBP degradation of strain ZM05 under Cd stress
