Quantifiable Structured Clinical Diagnosis for Psychiatry: An Integration of Machine Learning and Cloud Computing Approaches to Achieve Scalability
(Al-Quds University, Deanship of Scientific Research, 2022-05-11) Laith Azzam Ayasa; Matthew Toegel; Joman Y. Natsheh; Mohmmad M. Herzallah
Background: Current diagnostic systems for psychiatric disorders suffer many limitations that hinder their applicability. The diagnosis of psychiatric disorders is exclusively conducted by clinicians using lengthy interviews that lack sensitivity and specificity. According to recent clinical trials, only a fraction of patients with psychiatric disorders respond to initial treatment with psychometric medications or psychotherapy. Unfortunately, clinicians cannot predict, a priori, who will or will not respond to treatment. If, however, a simple computer-based system utilizing multidimensional symptom expression could diagnose patients with psychiatric disorders and differentiate those who are, or are not, likely to respond to treatment, this would provide immediate clinical relevance.

Dopamine Genetic Scores Modulate Positive Reinforcement Learning in Healthy Undergraduates
(Al-Quds University, Deanship of Scientific Research, 2022-05-11) Yasmin Arda; Anfal A. Abu Hilal; Mohammad M. Herzallah
Background: Dopamine has been implicated in modulating reinforcement learning from positive and negative feedback. Enhanced dopamine levels are linked to better learning from positive feedback, whereas decreased dopamine mediates learning from negative feedback. Naturally-occurring variations in dopamine genes contribute to individual differences in reinforcement learning. Dopamine exerts its actions via proteins located pre- (D2 receptors), within- (transporter), and post-synaptically (D1 and D2 receptors) to regulate dopaminergic function.

Correlations Between Degree Of Myopia, Axial Length, Anterior Chamber Depth, Central Corneal Thickness, Corneal Diameter And Corneal Power
(Al-Quds University, Deanship of Scientific Research, 2022-05-11) Ayat Sufian Mohammed Abu Jazar; Heba Moshtaha, Sarah Atallah; Israa Kuhail; Yara Ayoub; Mohammed AlJarousha
Background: Myopia is a serious public health problem which appears due to inconsistent contributions of ocular components which includes (corneal power, anterior chamber depth, lens power, and axial length) to overall eye structures. Refractive components of the anterior segment of myopic eyes were unable to recover exaggerated development of the posterior segment during the emmetropization process. Therefore, parallel rays of light are brought to focus in front of the retina. It is also commonly known as nearsightedness. There are three types of myopia, mild, moderate, and severe. Myopia is a widespread type of refractive errors across the globe.

Predicting Serotonin Transporter Haplotypes Based on Reinforcement Learning
(Al-Quds University, Deanship of Scientific Research, 2022-05-11) Ru'a Rimawi; Anfal Abu Hilal; Mohmmad M. Herzallah
Background: Serotonergic neurotransmission has been implicated in risk assessment, processing of negative feedback, and encoding value and time interaction. In humans, central serotonin signals are usually inferred from naturally-occurring polymorphisms in genes that encode key proteins for the synaptic reuptake of serotonin, namely the serotonin transporter (SERT). The SERT gene has two well-studied functional polymorphisms: (1) the 5-HT transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR; long allele (L) = low serotonin, short allele = high serotonin), and (2) the serotonin transporter polyadenylation polymorphism (STPP; C allele = high, A allele = low serotonin).
Missed Opportunities in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Emergency Departments of Governmental Hospitals” Clinical Audit
(Al-Quds University, Deanship of Scientific Research, 2022-05-11) Raghad Abd Allateef Lahlooh; Treq Salah Jarrar; Hatem Khammash
Background: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is the most common anemia in pediatrics globally. Children from poor socioeconomic status families and whose mothers were iron-deficient during pregnancy are at a higher risk. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), Anemia affects around half of all preschool-aged children globally. IDA is a critical health factor for their motor and neurodevelopment. And since the majority of cases are asymptomatic, this puts the responsibility on healthcare workers to diagnose and treat it. Previous studies stated that it is unknown how many newborns and children are getting checked as recommended. Screening does not take place due to high cost and young’s discomfort from blood tests. Infants and children with infectious diseases visit emergency departments, and a large percent of them have a Complete Blood Count (CBC). This is an excellent opportunity to screen for anemia. However, physicians are likely to be mainly concerned with the white cell count.

Background: The world these days still facing the COVID-19 pandemic, that mainly caused by the novel virus SARS-CoV-2. Reports show that the first cases of the virus were observed in Wuhan, Hubei, China. At first most cases compline of respiratory symptoms and sometimes respiratory distress that causes death in some cases. However, the disease shows its effect on other systems, including the cardiovascular, central nervous and gastrointestinal. As time passed with the pandemic many strains of the virus started to appear that caused the variation of symptoms severity, types and disease spreading. Covid-19 long term consequences these days remain unclear, due to the lack of research on this topic in the whole world and especially in the middle east, so our research was directed to gather more information about the topic and to see if there is a significant complication. Our retrospective study was directed toward Palestinians who were confirmed to be infected with covid-19 by The Palestinian Health Ministry in (25th November to 15th December 2020) and to see the long-term manifestation on them.

(Al-Quds University, Deanship of Scientific Research, 2022-05-11) Shahd Habbash; Maen Ishtaiwi; Muna Hajj Yahya
Introduction: The Dead Sea is a landlocked hypersaline lake located in the deepest part of the Dead Sea Jordan Rift Valley. Its huge benefits come from the high salinity rate; it has 345 grams of mineral per liter (34.5% or 34.5 g/100 mL). This Salt concentration is about 7 to 10 times that of the oceans. This fact about the Dead Sea Water makes it our concern in this research.
