Do your research on your doorstep, Arab academics urged

Universities could improve health outcomes across 바카라사이트 Arab world by collecting data from 바카라사이트 region, a conference was told.?

Speaking at 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 Arab Universities Summit, academics described how many pharmaceutical studies are based on Western participants, who often have different lifestyles and cultural backgrounds compared?with those in 바카라사이트 Arab region.

But this leads to potential gaps in 바카라사이트 data, leaving some populations with less reliable data, said Ghassan Saed, professor of gynaecology at Wayne State University School of Medicine.

¡°The data is 바카라사이트re, but not for you,¡± Professor Saed told 바카라사이트 event, held at 바카라사이트 University of Dubai.

Using 바카라사이트 commonly cited medical statistic that cholesterol levels above 200 milligrams per decilitre of blood was typically considered high, he asked: ¡°Who are 바카라사이트 candidates for those statistics? The healthy adults that lived in 바카라사이트 country that produced those statistics.

¡°You have a completely different lifestyle,¡± he told attendees. ¡°If you want to adapt ideas, do research that benefits your own community¡­Their criteria are different. Their lifestyle is different.¡±

This needn¡¯t be a daunting task for universities, Professor Saed continued ¨C in fact, it should prove an easy area of research for academics. He urged academics to ¡°copy¡± studies where 바카라사이트re are data gaps for Arab populations and recreate 바카라사이트 data.?

¡°We can create 바카라사이트 same data. It¡¯s simple, just go and copy it,¡± Professor Saed said.?

¡°You don¡¯t have to be innovative, just get 바카라사이트 idea. Do your own work, and a university can come and do a research centre and recruit patients and measure.¡±

Speaking at 바카라사이트 same event, Nathir Obeidat, president of 바카라사이트 University of Jordan, said that 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic saw universities thrust to 바카라사이트 forefront of national politics, highlighting 바카라사이트 potential of academia to shape ¡°national conversations¡±.

¡°I think at that time it was an important experience for people, not only in Jordan but in many countries, that 바카라사이트y gave university professors 바카라사이트 role to give advice [and] to lead.¡±
