  • Myalgias and facial edema 
    Wakim, Gerard; Youssef, Nour; Khamash, Dina; Nicolas, Gregory N.
    BACKGROUND: Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), the most common childhood vasculitis, is classically associated with the appearance of non-thrombocytopenic purpura. Nevertheless, unspecific systemic symptoms such as abdominal ...
  • Effect of consanguinity on birth weight for gestational age in a developing country 
    Wakim, Gerard; Mumtaz, Ghina; Tamim, Hala; Kanaan, Mona; Khawaja, Marwan; Khogali, Mustafa
    Consanguinity, the marriage between relatives, has been associated with adverse child health outcomes because it increases homozygosity of recessive alleles. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of consanguinity ...
  • Subsarcolemmal cAMP signals monitored by cyclic nucleotide gated channels in hypertrophied cardiac myocytes 
    Abi-Gerges, A.; Fischmeister, R.; Vandecasteele, G.
    The second messenger cAMP is the most important modulator of sympathetic control over cardiac contractility. Recent studies have documented the existence of local pools of cAMP in cardiac cells (Jurevicius & Fischmeister ...
  • Decreased phosphodiesterase activities in cardiac hypertroph 
    Abi-Gerges, A.; Castro, L.R.V.; Leroy, J.; Heymes, C.; Samuel, J.-L.; Lugnier, C.; Fischmeister, R.
    There is limited information on the changes in cardiac cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE1 to PDE5) during hypertrophy and the functional consequences on the cAMP pathway. To address this, 3-week-old rats were ...

    Clinical endpoints are immediate or early tissue reactions that occur during laser treatment. They can guide the laser surgeon in delivering safe and effective laser treatment. Some endpoints act as warning signs of injury ...
  • Ulceration of mature surgical scars following nonablative fractional photothermolysis associated with intralesional lidocaine injections 
    Tannous, Zeina; Avram, Mathew; Dierter, Manstein; Chuang, Gary; SOM; 201100706; N/A; zeina.tannous@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University
    Fractional photothermolysis (FP) is an established modality of laser resurfacing. In non-ablative FP (NAFP), a near-infrared laser light, mainly absorbed by aqueous tissues, creates a pattern of epidermal and dermal ...
  • When not to treat cutaneous vascular lesions with the pulsed dye laser 
    Tannous, Zeina; Lipworth, Adam; Shoofner, Joshua D.; Avram, Mathew M.; SOM; 201100706; N/A; zeina.tannous@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University
