COVID-19 vaccine acceptability among healthcare workers in Yemen.

Background: Acceptability of COVID-19 vaccine by healthcare workers (HCWs) can affect its acceptability by the general population.

Aim: To assess COVD-19 vaccine acceptability among HCWs in Sana'a, Yemen.

Methods: We conducted a multicentre cross-sectional study among 391 HCWs in Sana'a, Yemen, from January to March 2022.

Human Leukocyte Antigen Class I and II Variants in Yemeni Patients with Chronic Renal Failure.

Background: Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) are found to be significant genetic factors concerning the susceptibility of an individual to certain diseases.

Objective: To determine the association between variants of class I (A and B) and class II (DRB1) HLA alleles and chronic renal failure (CRF), compared with healthy controls, in Yemen.

Methods: A case-control study in the Urology and Nephrology Center at Al-Thawra University Hospital in Sana'a, Yemen was carried out between January 2013 and December 2015 and included 187 CRF patients, and 194 healthy controls visiting the same center for kidney donation.

The Association between Human Leukocyte Antigens and Hypertensive End-Stage Renal Failure among Yemeni Patients.

Objectives: Many studies have attempted to locate a connection between various genetic factors and the pathogenesis of certain diseases. A number of these have found human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) to be the most significant genetic factors affecting the susceptibility of an individual to a certain disease. The present case-control study aimed to determine the connection between class I and class II HLAs and cases of hypertensive end-stage renal failure (HESRF), as contrasted with healthy controls, in Yemen.
