Geriatric Breast Cancer: Staging, Molecular Surrogates, and Treatment — A Review & Meta-Analysis
Aging and Disease
My Contribution
Lead Author & Methodologist
Lead Methodologist · Review Design · Meta-Analysis · Statistical Synthesis · Manuscript Writing
Publication Summary
Systematic review and meta-analysis of geriatric breast cancer (age ≥65 years) examining staging distribution, molecular surrogate subtypes (luminal A/B, HER2+, triple-negative), treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes. Demonstrated significant undertreatment relative to younger cohorts. Published in Aging and Disease (IF 6.9).

A 15-Year One Health Approach to Antimicrobial Resistance in Kuwait from Hospitals to Environmental Contexts: A Systematic Review
Life (MDPI)
My Contribution
Systematic Review Methodologist
Systematic Review Methodology · Multi-Database Search · PRISMA 2020 Compliance · Evidence Synthesis
Publication Summary
First comprehensive 15-year systematic review mapping antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Kuwait across all One Health domains — human clinical, agricultural/animal, and environmental. Identified critical gaps in environmental AMR surveillance and provided evidence-based recommendations for Kuwait's national AMR action plan. PRISMA 2020-compliant with dual-independent screening.

The Impact of Nutritional Supplements on Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Cureus
My Contribution
Statistical Lead & Meta-Analyst
Meta-Analysis Lead · Statistical Design · Pooled Analysis · Forest Plots · Heterogeneity Assessment
Publication Summary
Systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis of RCTs evaluating nutritional supplements (protein, vitamin D, omega-3, creatine, amino acids) on muscle mass, strength, and functional outcomes in sarcopenic patients. Pooled analysis demonstrated significant improvements. Subgroup analyses by supplement type, dosage, and follow-up duration. Cochrane RoB 2.0 applied. Forest plots generated in RevMan.

Insights to Antimicrobial Resistance: Heavy Metals Can Inhibit Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria Isolated from Wastewater
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
My Contribution
Medical Writer
Medical & Scientific Writing · Data Presentation · Manuscript Drafting & Editing
Publication Summary
Laboratory-based original research investigating the relationship between heavy metal exposure (lead, cadmium, copper, zinc) and antibiotic resistance patterns in wastewater bacteria. Demonstrated that specific heavy metals selectively inhibit antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains — providing novel insights into co-selection dynamics of AMR in environmental settings. Published in Springer Q1 (IF 3.3).

A Case Series of Two Patients Using Closed-Loop Spinal Cord Stimulation: Demonstration of the Impact of Real-Time Adjustments
Journal of Surgical Case Reports
My Contribution
Medical Writer
Case Report Medical Writing · CARE Guideline Compliance · Clinical Narrative Structuring · Manuscript Editing
Publication Summary
CARE guideline-compliant case series of two patients with chronic pain treated using closed-loop spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems. Documented real-time neural feedback parameters, automatic amplitude adjustments, NRS pain scores, and functional outcomes at follow-up. Both cases demonstrated superior pain control and reduced medication dependence versus prior open-loop SCS. Indexed in PubMed (PMID: 42058530).

High-Dose Biotin Supplementation Exacerbates Chronic Migraine: A Case Report
International Medical Case Reports Journal
My Contribution
Medical Writer
Case Report Medical Writing · CARE Guideline Compliance · Pharmacological Narrative · Manuscript Drafting
Publication Summary
CARE guideline-compliant individual case report documenting a patient with 20-year chronic migraine history whose condition significantly worsened following initiation of high-dose biotin (vitamin B7) supplementation. Causality assessed using the Naranjo Algorithm. Clinical improvement following biotin cessation. Provides cautionary pharmacovigilance evidence for high-dose vitamin supplementation in neurological patients. Published pp. 1657–1661.
