Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of Candida albicans Lebanese hospital isolates resistant and sensitive to caspofungin
Published 2019“…Chitin content analysis showed that caspofungin resistant strains had elevated levels of chitin resulting in cell wall thickening that counters the effect of caspofungin, while sensitive strains showed decreased chitin content. Our results demonstrate an inverse correlation between resistance and virulence whereby resistance is due to thickening of the cell wall preventing the cell from gaining virulence attributes, while a more susceptible cell wall increases susceptibility to drugs but allows increased virulence.…”

Determinants of dividend payout ratio
Published 2014“…The study suggests that board of directors tend to compensate shareholders and minimize the agency cost by distributing a high portion of profits in form of dividends whenever return on equity decreases. Also, when the performance of the firm improves, and hence return on assets increases, boards of directors are more generous in distributing profits.…”

Associations between Bone Mineral Density and WOMAC Scores in Healthy Individuals: Insights from the Qatar Biobank
Published 2025“…However, BMD measures significantly contributed to predicting stiffness after controlling for sociodemographic variables (R2 = 0.065, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.34, p = 0.002), with a higher total body BMD associated with increased stiffness and a higher trunk BMD associated with decreased stiffness. Total body BMD measures also significantly contributed to predicting compromised physical function (R2 = 0.091, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.762, p < 0.001) after controlling for sociodemographic variables, with a higher total body BMD associated with an increase in compromised physical function.Conclusion: Total body BMD seems to be a more important predictor of stiffness and physical function than specific skeletal sites BMD measures. …”
