Crohn’s Disease (CD) is a chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), common in the UAE. Microbiota is necessary to maintain a balanced gut environment which is essential for good health. Dysbiosis can predispose to many diseases including CD. The oral cavity has the second largest and most diverse microbiota after the gut harboring over 700 species of bacteria. This study aims to investigate the alterations in the salivary microbiome in patients with CD compared to Healthy controls (HC). It also aims to compare CD patients for salivary microbiome complexity and diversity according to different factors that can contribute to dysbiosis, including …

Theses
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the prevalent neurodegenerative diseases in elderly population. The symptoms of PD often begin with motor and cognitive impairment that are attributed to the dopaminergic neurons degeneration. Rotenone (ROT) is a naturally derived pesticide that is used in agriculture to control pests. It is a neurotoxin well-established for use in resembling PD symptoms in research. Limonene (LMN) is a plant derived monoterpene extracted from citrus peel with a wide range of therapeutic effects. Due to the shortage in available therapeutic agents that can cure or halt the progressive degeneration of PD, the main aim of …
