Life satisfaction among female doctors vs. other female workers in Gaza
(Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press), 2013)Background: 50% of those who had ever used an on-line life satisfaction measurement tool were considered optimally satisfied about their lives. Categorization into age, sex, country of origin and religion did not seem to ... -
Lipidomics
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2007)Lipids are hydrophobic or amphiphilic low‐molecular‐weight substances with a low solubility in water. Glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and cholesterol are the building blocks of cellular membranes, and triacylglycerols ... -
Lipidomics of glycosphingolipids
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2012): Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) contain one or more sugars that are attached to a sphingolipid moiety, usually to a ceramide, but in rare cases also to a sphingoid base. A large structural heterogeneity results from differences ... -
Loss of CB1 receptors leads to decreased cathepsin D levels and accelerated lipofuscin accumulation in the hippocampus
(Elsevier, 2013)Early onset of age-related changes in the brain of cannabinoid 1 receptor knockout (Cnr1−/−) mice suggests that cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor activity significantly influences the progression of brain aging. In the present ... -
Management of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the Gaza Strip: survey of evidence-based practice
(Elsevier, 2017)Background Early recognition, comprehensive assessment, and evidence-based care are crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality due to non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The aim of this study was to compare ... -
Mass spectrometric analysis of neutral sphingolipids: methods, applications, and limitations
(Elsevier, 2011)Sphingolipids represent an important class among lipids, especially when considering their vital roles in lipid metabolism. Thus, a variety of methods have been created to accomplish their analysis and the term “sphingolipidomics” ... -
Mechanical bowel preparation before elective colorectal surgery in the Gaza Strip: a survey of surgical practice
(Elsevier, 2017)Background Many surgeons believe that postoperative complications and anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery can be reduced by preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (MBP). We surveyed the practice of surgeons in ... -
Medicinal mushroom modulators of molecular targets as cancer therapeutics
(Springer-Verlag, 2005)Empirical approaches to discover anticancer drugs and cancer treatments have made limited progress in the past several decades in finding a cure for cancer. The expanded knowledge of the molecular basis of tumorigenesis ... -
Medicinal Mushroom Substances as Cancer Molecular Therapy
(Begel House Inc., 2005)Medicinal mushrooms possess a variety of health promoting qualities as well as being a potential source of a variety of pharmaceuticals for some diseases, including cancer. Although most of the attention for their anticancer ... -
Medinical mushrooms to overcome aquired resistane in Ph positive leukemia

Microbial contamination of the drinking water distribution system and its impact on human health in Khan Yunis Governorate, Gaza Strip: seven years of monitoring (2000–2006)
(WB Saunders, 2008)Objective To assess total and faecal coliform contamination in water wells and distribution networks over the past 7 years, and their association with human health in Khan Yunis Governorate, Gaza Strip. Study design Historical ... -
Mushroom extracts having anticancer activity
(2006)The invention relates to compositions comprising a mycelium extract from at least one higher Basidiomycetes medicinal mushroom selected from the group consisting of Ganoderma adspersum, Hypsizygus ulmarium, Kuehneromyces ... -
N-methyl-D-aspartate, anoxia and glutamate antagonists in mammalian brain.

NMDA antagonists increase recovery of evoked potentials from slices of rat olfactory cortex after anoxia
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1994)1 The role of glutamate in producing tissue damage during cerebral anoxia was investigated in brain slices using antagonists to the NMDA and AMPA receptor types. 2 Tissue function was assessed by field recordings of the ... -
Normal phase liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time of flight atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry for separation, detection and mass …
(Elsevier, 2009)Many lipidomic approaches focus on investigating aspects of sphingolipid metabolism. Special emphasis is put on neutral sphingolipids and cholesterol and their interaction. Such an interest is attributed to the fact that ... -
Normal-phase liquid chromatographic separation of stratum corneum ceramides with detection by evaporative light scattering and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass …
(Elsevier, 2003)A new normal-phase HPLC method for the separation of stratum corneum ceramides is presented. Separation was achieved in less than 15 min using a binary gradient consisting of chloroform, n-propanol and acetic acid. Since ... -
