  • Emerging therapies in multiple myeloma 
    El-Amm, Joelle; Tabbara, Imad A.
    The treatment of multiple myeloma has evolved significantly over the past 2 decades due to the use of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, and the subsequent introduction of the immunomodulatory ...
  • The effect of phosphorus manipulation on in vivo glycogenesis and lipogenesis of rats fed a high fructose diet 
    Mattar, Lama; Obied, Omar; Hwalla, Nahla
    Objective: High phosphorus intake was reported to be associated with the development of metabolic syndrome. This effect is though to be related to its capacity to induce lipogenesis and uric acid production. Fructose is ...
  • Effect of 7-minute workout on weight and body composition 
    Mattar, L.; Farran, N.; Bakhour, D.
    The 7-minute workout composed of aerobic and resistance exercises is becoming a very popular workout. It targets individuals with time constrains and low motivation to commit to lengthy and extensive workout programs. The ...
  • Stimulation of postprandial in vivo glycogenesis and lipogenesis of rats fed high fructose diet with varied phosphate content 
    Mattar, Lama E.; Mattar, Melanie A.; Mouneimne, Youssef; Obeid, Omar A.
    It has been reported that increased fructose intake is associated with the development of the metabolic syndrome. The phosphate (P) sequestering capacity of fructose is likely to affect the phosphorylation capacity of ...
  • Relationship between malnutrition and depression or anxiety in Anorexia Nervosa 
    Mattar, Lama; Huas, Caroline; Duclos, Jeanne; Apfel, Alexandre; Godart, Nathalie
    Background Depression, anxiety and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) frequently co-occur with Anorexia Nervosa (AN). Clinical consensus admits that depressive symptoms and anxiety are the sequelae of malnutrition in ...
  • Anorexia nervosa and nutritional assessment 
    Mattar, Lama; Godart, Nathalie; Melchior, Jean-Claude; Pichard, Claude
    The psychiatric condition of patients suffering from anorexia nervosa (AN) is affected by their nutritional status. An optimal assessment of the nutritional status of patients is fundamental in understanding the relationship ...
  • Underweight patients with anorexia nervosa 
    Mattar, Lama; Godart, Nathalie; Melchior, Jean-Claude; Falissard, Bruno; Kolta, Sami; Ringuenet, Damien; Vindreau, Christine; Nordon, Clementine; Pichard, Claude
    Summary Background & aims Body weight changes do not reflect the respective changes of body compartments, namely fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM). Both bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and the Dual X-ray ...
  • Can birth weight predict later body composition in anorexia nervosa? 
    Mattar, L.; Pichard, C.; Godart, N.; Mechior, J-C.
    BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The relationship between birth weight and body composition at later stages in life was not studied previously in anorexia nervosa (AN). The aim of the following brief report is to present results ...
  • Expressed emotion in families of patients with eating disorders 
    Mattar, Lama; Duclos, Jeanne; Vibert, Sarah; Godart, Nathalie
    Objective: To review studies assessing Expressed Emotion among parents/relatives of patients with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. Method: A systematic computerized search was performed in Medline complemented by ...
  • Depression, anxiety and obsessive–compulsive symptoms in relation to nutritional status and outcome in severe anorexia nervosa 
    Mattar, Lama; Thiebaud, Marie-Raphaele; Huas, Caroline; Cebula, Christelle; Godart, Nathalie; SAS; 201306205; Natural Sciences; lama.mattar@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University
    Depression, anxiety and obsessive–compulsive disorder are frequently reported to co-occur with anorexia nervosa (AN). There is clinical consensus that depressive symptoms and anxiety may in part be sequelae of malnutrition ...
  • Relationship between affectives symptoms and malnutrition severity in severe anorexia nervosa 
    Mattar, L.; Huas, C.; Godart, N.
    Background Very few studies have investigated the relationship between malnutrition and psychological symptoms in Anorexia Nervosa (AN). They have used only body weight or body mass index (BMI) for the nutritional ...
  • Symptoms of depression and anxiety in anorexia nervosa 
    Mattar, Lama; Gauthier, Claire; Hassler, Christine; Launay, Jean-Marie; Callebert, Jacques; Steiger, Howard; Mechior, Jean-Claude
    Depressive, anxiety and obsessive symptoms frequently co-occur with anorexia nervosa (AN). The relationship between these clinical manifestations and the biological changes caused by starvation is not well understood. It ...

  • The complexities of citizenship among Lebanese immigrants in Sierra Leone 
    Beydoun, Lina
    This article examines exclusionary citizenship practices in Sierra Leone toward people who are not racially Black. As far back as the 1919 “anti-Lebanese riots,” Blacks associated their lack of opportunities with economic ...
  • Genetic testing in bleeding disorders 
    El Maarri, O.; Perry, D.J.; Oldenburg, J.; Pezeshkpoor, B.
    The aim of molecular genetic analysis in families with haemophilia is to identify the causative mutation in an affected male as this provides valuable information for the patient and his relatives. For the patient, mutation ...
  • F8 genetic analysis strategies when standard approaches fail 
    El Maarri, O.; Pezeshkpoor, B.; Pavlova, A.; Oldenburg, J.
    Haemophilia A is a common X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in F8 leading to deficiency or dysfunction of coagulant factor VIII (FVIII). Despite tremendous improvements in mutation screening methods, in ...
  • New insight into the molecular basis of hemophilia A 
    El Maarri, Osman; Oldenburg, Johannes
    Since publication of the sequence of the factor VIII gene (F8) in 1984, a large number of mutations that cause hemophilia A (HA) have been identified.With the technical advances associated with mutation screenings, it is ...
  • Inhibitor development in correlation to factor VIII genotypes 
    El Maarri, O.; Oldenburg, J.; Schwaab, R.
    Alloantibodies (inhibitors) against factor VIII (FVIII) develop in 20–30% of patients with severe haemophilia A and render classical FVIII substitution therapy ineffective. Several studies have shown that genetic factors, ...
  • Evidence of pathogenicity of a mutation in 3′ untranslated region causing mild haemophilia A 
    El Maarri, O.; Pezeshkpoor, B.; Berkemeier, A-C.; Oldenburg, J.; Czogalla, K.J.
    Introduction Despite the high mutation detection rate, in a small group of haemophilia A patients, using current screening methods, no causal mutation in F8 can be detected. In such cases, the causal mutation might be ...
  • Targeted resequencing of 29 candidate genes and mouse expression studies implicate ZIC3 and FOXF1 in human VATER/VACTERL association
