Background: Patients with solid cancers and hematopoietic malignancy can experience systemic symptoms compatible with adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD). The newly described VEXAS, associated with somatic UBA1 mutations, exhibits an overlap of...
Islamophobia, as a problem, is often argued to be a rational choice by the stereotypical media coverage of Islam and Muslims, even though it points to the symptom rather than the root cause. Islamophobia reemerges in public discourses and part of sta...
Prophet Muhammad is a central figure in Islam. Systematic exploration of his life and biography as a central discourse for sīrah studies remains timeless and relevant. This has made his life a focal point for study among Muslim and Western schol...
Recently, groundwater resources in Egypt have become one of the important sources to meet human needs and activities, especially in coastal areas such as the western area of Port Said, where seawater desalination cannot be used due to the problem of...
