The present study aims to evaluate the morphometric and histopathological properties of Modified Elnady's plastinated tissue after a period compared to non-plastinated tissue. The plastination technique is utilized in research and teaching due to the potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure to formalin. The tissues and organs are permanently dried during plastination and can be used for further anatomical, histopathological and surgical educational purposes.

Pesticides are of immense importance in agriculture, but they might contaminate bees' products. In this study, samples of honey, pollen, and beeswax were collected, seasonally, from apiaries in Toshka (Aswan), El-Noubariya (El-Beheira), and Ismailia (Ismailia) cities in Egypt. The pesticide residues were analyzed using the GC-MS after being extracted and cleaned using the QuEChERS method.

Article Synopsis
  • Current research aims to eliminate iron and ammonia from groundwater using a poly acrylic-poly acrylamide hydrogel grafted with 3-chloroaniline, synthesized via addition polymerization.
  • The study evaluated factors like agitation time, dosage, and temperature on removal efficiency, revealing the hydrogel's high effectiveness with a 98.3% removal rate for iron and 100% for ammonia.
  • The investigation employed density functional theory (DFT) to analyze the hydrogel’s properties and its ability to selectively complex with specific cations, showcasing its potential for groundwater purification.

Anatomically, the inner ear is a highly complex organ of intricate design, composed of a bony labyrinth that encases the same-shaped membranous labyrinth. It is difficult to study the three-dimensional anatomy of the inner ear because the relevant structures are very small and embedded within the petrous temporal bone, one of the densest bones in the body. The current study aimed to provide a detailed anatomic reference for the normal anatomy of the rabbit's inner ear.
