  • Implications of US-China Competition in the South China Sea for Regional Security: A Multidimensional Analysis (2013–2024)

    Open Access•Sajjad Ahmad, Imran Wakil et al.•ARTICLE•Pakistan Social Sciences Review•2026

    The construction of China’s artificial islands between 2013 and 2018 resulted in over 3200 acres of land militarization with runways and missiles. The US actions included the revival of the Quad in 2017 and AUKUS in 2021 and defence agreements with the Philippines. These incidents escalated like the 2023 conflicts over Second Thomas Shoal, with power transition theory indicating future escalations as China asserts its challenge to US supremacy. T…

  • Ethnobotanical documentation of medicinal flora traditionally used for pediatric diseases in Khar, district Bajaur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

    Open Access•Shariat Ullah, Wahid Hussain et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnobotany Research and…•2025

    Background: The use of plants for primary healthcare continues in both developed and developing countries. In rural areas, where healthcare facilities are limited, conventional medicine is expensive, and resources are often mismanaged, parents turn to herbal remedies instead of modern medicine to treat children's illnesses. Therefore, it is crucial to document the ethnomedicinal use of plants for children's healthcare in the studied regions. Obje…

  • Assessing the Role of Financial Development in Economic Sophistication: Evidence from a Dynamic Threshold Approach

    Open Access•Muhammad Asim Imam, Sajjad Ahmad et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Posthumanism•2025

    This study examines the non-linear relationship between financial development and economic sophistication across 71 developing economies from 1995 to 2019. Using a dynamic panel threshold model, it investigates how varying levels of financial development affect economic sophistication—a metric reflecting a nation’s production capacity and export of advanced goods. The findings reveal a threshold effect: financial development enhances economic sop…

  • Evaluating the Phytoremediation Potential of Eichhornia crassipes for the Removal of Cr and Li from Synthetic Polluted Water

    Open Access•Muhammad Umar Hayyat, Rab Nawaz et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2023

    Heavy metals like chromium (Cr) are hazardous pollutants for aquatic life in water bodies. Similarly, lithium (Li) is also an emerging contaminant in soil and water which later is taken up by plants. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the removal rate of Cr and Li by Eichhornia crassipes . The rate of the removal of Cr and Li by roots, stems, and leaves of E. crassipes were evaluated. The translocation factor (TF) and bioaccumulation fac…

  • Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2020

    Open Access•Dana Bryazka, Marissa B Reitsma et al.•ARTICLE•The Lancet•2022

    BACKGROUND: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. METHODS: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to esti…

  • Pan-Genome-Assisted Computational Design of a Multi-Epitopes-Based Vaccine Candidate against Helicobacter cinaedi

    Open Access•Saba Ismail, Noorah Alsowayeh et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Helicobacter cinaedi is a Gram-negative bacterium from the family Helicobacteraceae and genus Helicobacter . The pathogen is a causative agent of gastroenteritis, cellulitis, and bacteremia. The increasing antibiotic resistance pattern of the pathogen prompts the efforts to develop a vaccine to prevent dissemination of the bacteria and stop the spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) determinants. Herein, a pan-genome analysis of the pathogen strain…

    Open Access•Miraj Ud-din, Aqel Albutti et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Antibiotic resistance (AR) is the result of microbes' natural evolution to withstand the action of antibiotics used against them. AR is rising to a high level across the globe, and novel resistant strains are emerging and spreading very fast. Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria, responsible for causing severe nosocomial infections that are treated with several broad spectrum antibiotics: carbapenems, β-lactam, …

  • Novel Chimeric Vaccine Candidate Development against Leptotrichia buccalis

    Open Access•Abdulrahman Alshammari, Abdullah F Alasmari et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    The misuse of antibiotics in our daily lives has led to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. As a result, many antibiotics are becoming ineffective. This phenomenon is linked with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Therefore, new approaches are required to address this major health issue. Leptotrichia buccalis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium which normally resides in the oral and vaginal cavities. It is an emerging bacterial pa…

    Enterococcus species are an emerging group of bacterial pathogens that have a significant role in hospital-associated infections and are associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates. Among these pathogens, Enterococcus mundtii is one of the causative agents of multiple hospital associated infections. Currently, no commercially available licensed vaccine is present, and multi-drug resistant strains of the pathogen are prominent. Due to sev…

  • Effects of a lifestyle intervention programme after 1 year of follow-up among South Asians at high risk of type 2 diabetes: A cluster randomised controlled trial

    Open Access•Mirthe Muilwijk, Marie Loh et al.•ARTICLE•BMJ Global Health•2021

    INTRODUCTION: South Asians are at high risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D).

  • In Silico Core Proteomics and Molecular Docking Approaches for the Identification of Novel Inhibitors against Streptococcus pyogenes

    Open Access•Abdur Rehman, Xiukang Wang et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Streptococcus pyogenes is a significant pathogen that causes skin and upper respiratory tract infections and non-suppurative complications, such as acute rheumatic fever and post-strep glomerulonephritis. Multidrug resistance has emerged in S. pyogenes strains, making them more dangerous and pathogenic. Hence, it is necessary to identify and develop therapeutic methods that would present novel approaches to S. pyogenes infections. In the current …

  • Federal policy mandating safer cigarettes: A hypothetical simulation of the anticipated population health gains or losses

    Open Access•Tammy O Tengs, Sajjad Ahmad et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Policy Analysis and…•2004•Cited by: 4•References: 1

    If manufacturing a safer cigarette is technically possible--an open question--then mandating that tobacco manufacturers improve the safety of cigarettes would likely have both positive and negative implications for the nation's health. On the one hand, removing toxins may reduce the incidence of smoking-related diseases and premature mortality in smokers. On the other hand, smokers might be less inclined to quit, those who have quit might resume …
