Excellence in healthcare: nurturing servant leadership, fostering collaborative culture and promoting social sustainability in the UAE - strategies for transformation.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the healthcare sector of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to explore the significance of servant leadership and collaborative culture in fostering social sustainability. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate how servant leadership and a collaborative culture contribute to social sustainability in health care in the UAE. With a focus on promoting well-being within healthcare organizations, the paper aims to uncover the synergies between servant leadership, collaborative culture, and social sustainability.

Protocol for quantification of UDP-GlcNAc using an enzymatic microplate assay.

Uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is the end product of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway and the substrate for protein O-linked N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation). Here, we present a protocol for the quantification of UDP-GlcNAc using an enzymatic microplate assay. We also detail procedures for the extraction of polar metabolites and total protein fraction for the parallel quantification of UDP-GlcNAc and the western blot analysis of O-GlcNAcylated proteins, O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase, and O-GlcNAcase from the same sample.

Enzymatic assay for UDP-GlcNAc and its application in the parallel assessment of substrate availability and protein O-GlcNAcylation.

O-linked N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) is a ubiquitous and dynamic non-canonical glycosylation of intracellular proteins. Several branches of metabolism converge at the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) to produce the substrate for protein O-GlcNAcylation, the uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc). Availability of UDP-GlcNAc is considered a key regulator of O-GlcNAcylation.

A study of the pattern of sensory return in various flaps in different body areas.

Insensate flaps are used in several reconstructions. A search of the literature showed that most studies are limited to particular flaps in specific body areas. There is a lack of uniform scientific data on the pattern of sensory recovery in various body parts for different kinds of flaps.

Tmprss2 specific miRNAs as promising regulators for SARS-CoV-2 entry checkpoint.

Tmprss2 is an emerging molecular target which guides cellular infections of SARS-CoV-2, has been earmarked for interventions against the viral pathologies. The study aims to computationally screen and identifies potential miRNAs, following in vitro experimental validation of miRNA-mediated suppression of Tmprss2 for early prevention of COVID-19. Pool of 163 miRNAs, scrutinized for Tmprss2 binding with three miRNA prediction algorithms, ensued 11 common miRNAs.

Repertoire of Structure-Activity-Based Novel Modified Peptides Elicits Enhanced Osteogenic Potential.

Biologically active peptides in milk proteins can be used as effective dietary supplements for management of bone-associated issues including osteoporosis. A bioactive peptide derived from milk, viz. VLPVPQK/PepC, has been validated previously from our lab for its osteoanabolic action.

Indigenous technique of fabricating vaginal mould for vaginal reconstruction and uterine drainage in McIndoe vaginoplasty using 10 ml syringe.

Absence of vagina poses multitude of physical and psychosocial problems in woman's life. 10% of Mayer- Rokitansky-üster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome patients with high vaginal septum and vaginal atreisa has additional issue of draining uterine cavity. MC Indoe vaginoplasty is universally acceptable and widely practiced procedure for neocolposis reconstruction.

Free Antropyloric Valve Flap for End-Stage Fecal Incontinence as a Substitute to Permanent Colostomy.

Background: Surgical removal of the anal canal and sphincter for carcinoma results in end-stage fecal incontinence (ESFI) and requires a permanent colostomy resulting in significant impact on quality of life. Presently, there are limited options for EFSI. The successful use of pedicled antropyloric valve (APV) based on left gastroepiploic artery as an alternative to permanent colostomy has previously been described.
