Unraveling the future productivity burden of cardiovascular disease in Qatar: Investigating the modifiable risk factors control in type 2 diabetes by Dina Abushanab (10696501)

“…The financial value of PALYs was determined based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per full-time worker (i.e. US$80,573). The base-case model estimated the productivity burden of CVD, and interventional scenarios were simulated to assess potential gains resulting from improved control of modifiable risk factors, including reduced incidence of T2D, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), decreased number of smokers, and reduced total cholesterol. …”

Fabrication of Ag₂O/WO₃ based sensors for detection of hydrogen sulfide by Ahmad Al-Sarraj (17151007)

Composite hydrogels from carrageenan-cl-carboxymethyl chitosan–PVA incorporated ZiF-8 as dressing material for wound healing applications by Tooba Yasin (19131382)

“…With increased gel fraction, the increasing ZiF-8 shifted wettability from more hydrophilicity to less hydrophilicity. The biocompatibility of the composite hydrogels has been evaluated using fibroblast cell lines (<i>3T3</i>) after different time intervals (24–72 h), and it was found that increasing ZiF-8 caused the mature and spread cell morphology with increasing cell viability and proliferation under controlled in vitro conditions. …”
