Antifungal effect of Algerian essential oil nanoemulsions to control and in Thomson Navel oranges ( L. Osbeck).

Fungal infection is a potential issue in citrus fruits, while essential oils from and could be better alternatives to synthetic fungicides in orange preservation. The nanoparticles produced during ultrasonication exhibited a monomodal distribution of particle sizes with a mean zeta potential and a polydispersity index mean value of 74.12 nm, -38.

Effect of Microfluidization on the Volatiles and Antibacterial, Antifungal, and Cytotoxic Activities of Algerian L. Oil-Loaded Nanoemulsions: and Study.

This study aimed to increase the stability and solubility of the Algerian L. (ASHO) essential oil through nanoencapsulation. Nanoemulsions of ASHO (MF-ASHEO) were developed to evaluate their antioxidant and antimicrobial potential, stability, and cytotoxicity using microfluidization at 150 MPa for five cycles.

Microfluidizing Technique Application for Algerian (DC.) Stapf Effects Enhanced Volatile Content, Antimicrobial, and Anti-Mycotoxigenic Properties.

Medicinal plant extracts are a promising source of bioactive minor contents. The present study aimed to evaluate the distinguished volatile content of Algerian (DC.) Stapf before and after the microfluidization process and their related antimicrobial and anti-mycotoxigenic impacts and changes.

Effect Of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy On Vitamin D, Parathormone Hormone, And Serum Calcium Levels.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on vitamin D status, parathyroid hormone,serum calcium and the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation.

Method: The prospective study was conducted at the General Surgery Department of Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Egypt, in November 2019, and comprised morbidly obese patients of either gender who were managed with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Serum levels of vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone were assessed at baseline and at 6 and 12 months after the surgery.

Outcomes Of Mesh Fixation Versus Non Fixation In Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Clinical Study.

Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the results of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair with and without mesh fixation regarding postoperative pain, recurrence, operative time, and complications.

Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial included 100 patients who underwent TAPP inguinal hernia with mesh fixation (group A) or a fixation-free procedure (group B) for early onset inguinal hernia at the General Surgery Department, Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, from January 2021 to June 2022.

Results: The parameters for pain assessment (NRS) in the first week (mean 7 (5 - 8)), the first month (mean 3 (1 - 5)), and after three months(mean 0 - (70% of patients), (mean 1- (30% of patients) were significantly higher in the fixation group (p<0.
