UAE English Skills: A Textbook Evaluation
(2008-01)National English textbooks are considered to be the main element of the English language curriculum at government schools in the UAE. Tens of thousands of students studying at these schools depend on national textbooks for ... -
UAE High School Students' Attitude Towards Traditional and Computer-Mediated Peer Response
(2010-08)Using blogs has recently become popular in learning ESL. However, not much research has been done in use of blogs in ESL writing classes. In this research, I conducted a study in my English writing classes to explore how ... -
UAE High School Students' Attitudes Towards Using Authentic Materials
(2006-08)This study is an attempt to investigate the impact of using authentic materials on some of my high school students, especially those who have poor attitudes towards learning the English language. In fact, lack of motivation, ... -
UAE High School Students' Perceptions of Teachers' Feedback on their Writing
(2007-01)For most teachers, marking students' papers and responding to their writing is a daunting and tedious task. It is also a practice that could carry potential dangers and requires careful consideration. However, feedback ... -
Ultrasonic Drug Delivery Using Micelles and Liposomes
(Springer, 2016)The encapsulation of drugs in nanocarriers revolutionized research in drug delivery, especially in cancer chemotherapeutics. Several nanosystems have been developed including liposomes, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, solid ... -
Ultrasonic release of doxorubicin from Pluronic P105 micelles stabilized with an interpenetrating network of N,N diethylacrylamide
(Elsevier, 2002)Pluronic P105 micelles sequester hydrophobic drugs and release them upon insonation with low frequency ultrasound; however these micelles dissolve relatively quickly upon dilution. The objective of this research was to ... -
Ultrasonic-Activated Micellar Drug Delivery for Cancer Treatment
(Wiley InterSciences, 2008)The use of nanoparticles and ultrasound in medicine continues to evolve. Great strides have been made in the areas of producing micelles, nanoemulsions, and solid nanoparticles that can be used in drug delivery. An effective ... -
Ultrasonically Controlled Albumin-conjugated Liposomes for Breast Cancer Therapy
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2019)Targeted liposomes have high potentials in the specific and effective delivery of their loaded therapeutic agents to the tumor site. Once at the tumor site, it is important that these liposomes are triggered to release ... -
Ultrasonically triggered drug delivery: Breaking the barrier
(Elsevier, 2014)The adverse side-effects of chemotherapy can be minimized by delivering the therapeutics in time and space to only the desired target site. Ultrasound offers one fairly non-invasive method of accomplishing such precise ... -
Ultrasound in drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)In this issue, we present the current applications and future prospects of ultrasound in various aspects of drug and gene delivery. There are many advantages to ultrasound that make it ideal for the delivery of therapeutics ... -
Ultrasound triggered drug delivery of transferrin coupled liposomes carrying the drug doxorubicin
(2020-06)Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases of the 21st century. It is caused by the uncontrolled division of damaged and mutated cells. Several methods have been developed to combat cancer, including surgery, radiation, and ... -
Ultrasound Triggered Release of Estrone- Targeted Liposomes
(2017-05)The fight against cancer has proven to be a lengthy one. Conventional treatment of cancer usually involves chemotherapy, a therapy known for its detrimental side effects. Doxorubicin, a cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotic, ... -
Ultrasound triggered release of Trastuzumab-conjugated immunoliposomes targeting breast cancer
(2018-12)Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in this era. Since conventional treatment has many side effects, its use is limited, which augments the need for new smart drug delivery systems, such as nanocarriers, capable of ... -
Ultrasound-Induced Calcein Release From eLiposomes
(Elsevier, 2012)Ultrasound is explored as a method of inducing the release of encapsulated materials from eLiposomes, defined as liposomes containing emulsion droplets. Emulsions were formed using perfluorohexane and perfluoropentane. ... -
Ultrasound-induced doxorubicin release from folate-targeted and non-targeted P105 micelles: a modeling study
(De Gruyter, 2016)The aim of this work is to study the kinetics of ultrasound (70 kHz) – using a kinetic model that takes into account cavitation events and drug re-encapsulation upon the cessation of the acoustic field. The simulation ... -
Ultrasound-Mediated Drug Delivery in Cancer Therapy: A Review
(American Scientific Publishers, 2020)The use of ultrasound as a medical diagnostic tool began in the 1940s. Ever since, the medical applications of ultrasound have included imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; however, an ever-increasing body of literature ... -
Ultrasound-triggered Release from Micelles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013) -
Ultrasound‑triggered herceptin liposomes for breast cancer therapy
(Nature, 2021)The functionalization of liposomes with monoclonal antibodies is a potential strategy to increase the specificity of liposomes and reduce the side-effects associated with chemotherapeutic agents. The active targeting of ... -
