Clinical and Therapeutic Relevance of B7-H3 in Sarcomas: Molecular Insights from a Systematic Review

Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal malignancies characterized by substantial morphological and molecular diversity. Despite advances in surgery and systemic therapies, outcomes remain poor, underscoring the need for novel biomarkers and targeted therapies. We syste...

Inkjet Printing of MXene Gas Sensors for Agricultural Monitoring

Abstract Inkjet printing enables scalable fabrication of nanomaterial-based devices, but stable droplet formation and reproducible deposition remain challenging for emerging nanosheet inks. In this work, we develop a model-guided inkjet printing framework that monitors and optimi...

Before the World Was Watching: Qatar and the 1981 FIFA World Youth Championship

Much of the existing scholarship on sport in Qatar has been shaped by the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the broader issues around it. However, many of the earlier moments in Qatar’s sporting history that were vital in shaping the country’s sporting identity have been largely overlooked...

TomoMamba: a two-stage model with state-space cross-slice propagation for breast cancer diagnosis in digital breast tomosynthesis

Abstract Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) provides volumetric image stacks that improve lesion conspicuity compared with two-dimensional (2D) mammography, yet most automated methods process slices independently and discard the depth-wise continuity that underpins this advantage...

Improving vehicle inspection systems: insights from users

This study examines public perceptions of a national mandatory vehicle inspection program (Fahes, Qatar). It proposes a survey-based framework for assessing user attitudes toward its safety, environmental, technical, and service-related outcomes. Using a structured online questio...

A Rare Entity in Context: Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Compared With Common Lymphoma Subtypes

Objective: edition World Health Organization Classification of haematolymphoid tumors. Its clinicopathologic profile, treatment patterns, and outcomes, relative to those of other primary breast lymphomas, have not been characterized in large population-based comparative studies....

Zinc dimethacrylate-modified epoxy coating for corrosion protection and self-healing

Corrosion-related asset losses and safety risks are increasing the need for smarter protective coating strategies. In this work, zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) was incorporated into epoxy coatings for enhanced corrosion protection for carbon steel. The successful integration of ZDMA...

Male breast cancer in Arab populations: a systematic review of molecular, genetic, and clinicopathologic characteristics

Abstract Background Male breast cancer (MBC) accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases, yet its incidence is increasing worldwide. Research on MBC remains limited, particularly in Arab populations, where molecular and genetic characteristics are poorly characterized. I...

Kidney cancer in Eastern Mediterranean Region and Qatar: epidemiological burden patterns and etiologic risk pathways

Abstract Kidney cancer contributes substantially to the global cancer burden, with significant geographic and sex differences. Countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) show rising incidence and mortality alongside gaps in registry coverage and high prevalence of metabo...

Recent advances in uranium (VI) uptake from aqueous solutions using clay mineral-based adsorbents

Due to the increasing use of nuclear energy as a primary energy source, large volumes of wastewater contaminated with radionuclides, particularly uranium, are being generated. Consequently, the quest for effective adsorbents for uranium removal from aqueous solutions has gained c...

Bioactive peptides in cancer and inflammation: Mechanisms, model systems and clinical translation

Abstract Background Bioactive peptides (BAPs), derived from both natural and synthetic sources, are increasingly recognized as multifunctional agents with potential roles in the management of cancer and inflammatory conditions, in addition to their well‐established antimicrobial...

The atmospheric-surface Nexus in a hyper-arid coastal metropolis: Compound heat and pollution risk across Doha's urban morphologies (2018–2025)

Rapid urbanization in hyper-arid coastal cities can generate compound environmental risks through interacting surface heat, biometeorological stress, and atmospheric pollution. This study characterizes the Atmospheric–Surface Nexus in Doha, Qatar, by integrating seven satellite-d...

Acute fibrinous and organising pneumonia (AFOP): a case series highlighting diverse aetiologies and clinical outcomes in three patients

Background Acute fibrinous and organising pneumonia (AFOP) is a rare histopathological pattern of acute lung injury characterised by intra-alveolar fibrin deposition and organising pneumonia. It has diverse aetiologies and highly variable clinical outcomes.Case presentations We r...

Gene–Environment Interaction Mendelian Randomization Reveals Statin-Dependent Associations Between Metabolites and Lipid Traits

Introduction/Background: Observational links between circulating metabolites and lipid traits are often confounded by environmental factors. This study applied Mendelian randomization (MR) and gene–environment interaction MR (MR-G×E) to assess the average causal effects of geneti...

IslamicLegalBench: Evaluating LLMs knowledge and reasoning of islamic law across 1,200 years of Islamic pluralist legal traditions

Abstract As millions of Muslims worldwide turn to LLMs like GPT, Claude, and DeepSeek for religious guidance, a critical question emerges: Can these AI systems reliably reason about Islamic law? This paper introduces , the first multi-school benchmark for evaluating LLM performan...

Transit-oriented development for cultural heritage districts: the case of Msheireb downtown Doha

Abstract Decades of heavy reliance on private cars have produced traffic congestion, urban sprawl, and fragmented districts across the Arabian Gulf, prompting Qatari authorities to introduce the Doha Metro and transit-oriented development (TOD) strategies to reconnect urban areas...

Molecular engineering and clinical translation of T cell engaging bispecific antibodies in cancer therapy

Abstract Bispecific T-cell engagers are Fc-less, Fv-based members of the broader family of T-cell-engaging bispecific antibodies designed to redirect cytotoxic T cells toward tumor cells by simultaneously binding CD3 and tumor-associated antigens. Despite their clinical promise,...
