Pd nanocrystals encapsulated in MOF-derived Ni/N-doped hollow carbon nanosheets for efficient thermal CO oxidation: unveiling the effect of porosity
Published 2023“…Rational synthesis of Ni-metal-organic-framework (MOF)-derived hollow N-doped carbon (Ni-MOF-HNC) nanostructures has garnered great attention in various catalytic reactions due to their outstanding catalytic and physicochemical merits, but their activity toward thermal CO oxidation (COOxid) is not emphasized enough. Herein, we tailored the fabrication of Ni-MOF-HNC encapsulated Pd nanocrystals (Pd/Ni-MOF-HNC) for efficient COOxid at low temperature, driven by microwave-irradiation, annealing at 900 °C and chemical etching to form Ni-MOF-HNC that is used as a support for the growth of Pd nanocrystals under microwave-irradiation. …”

Results from the first culturally tailored, multidisciplinary diabetes education in Lebanese adults with type 2 diabetes: effects on self-care and metabolic outcomes
Published 2022“…This pilot-study tested the effect of culturally-tailored education targeting diabetes selfcare on glycemia and cardiovascular risk factors of Lebanese with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (n = 27; Age: 61 ± 10 yrs, 59% males, HbA1c: 8.98 ± 1.38%). Results: Diabetes self-care (Diet, Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose and foot care) improved after 6 months, which was reflected in a significant drop in glycemic levels (HbA1c:-0.5%; FPG: − 38 mg/dl), and cholesterol/HDL ratio (4.45 ± 1.39 vs. 4.06 ± 1.29). …”
