Scaling up production of cephalosporin C by Acremonium chrysogenum W42-I in a fermenter using submerged fermentation.

Cephalosporins presently stand as the most extensively utilized antibiotic in clinical settings. Acremonium (A.) chrysogenum is the main strain used in the manufacturing of cephalosporin C (CPC), which offers distinct advantages, including a wide-ranging antibacterial spectrum and powerful antibacterial efficacy.

Progressive Muscular Relaxation Versus Breathing Excercise Techniques to Control Blood Pressure among Mild Preeclamptic Pregnant Women.

Background: Hypertensive disturbances during pregnancy are the leading cause of maternal and fetal death; unfortunately, no effective treatment exists. Therefore, interventions that reduce the likelihood of developing preeclampsia during pregnancy are required. This study aimed to see how Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) compared to breathing exercise techniques affected Blood Pressure (BP) levels among mildly preeclamptic pregnant women.

Statistical optimization and gamma irradiation on cephalosporin C production by Acremonium chrysogenum W42-I.

Most antibiotics now used in clinical practice are cephalosporins. Acremonium (A.) chrysogenum W42-I is an intermediate strain out of W42 strain improvement program whose productivity is above that of the wild-type strain to produce the broad-spectrum antibacterial cephalosporin C (CPC).

Risk factors for polycystic ovary syndrome among women of reproductive age in Egypt: A case control study.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, associated with an increased risk of multiple diseases, and its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Purpose: identify risk factors for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in reproductive-aged Egyptian women attending an outpatient gynecological clinic at a specialized hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Port Said City, Egypt. The study population included 248 women; 124 women suffered from PCOS and 124 Non-PCOS.

The effects of COVID-19 pandemic and its related lockdown on female sexual function and reproductive health: An observational study in Egypt.

This retrospective observational online study was carried out to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related lockdown on female sexual functions and reproductive health. It included 409 sexually active females. The sexual function was assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).

COVID-19 and perinatal outcomes among pregnant women admitted to isolation unit at Suez Canal university hospital, Egypt: A cross-sectional study.

This study described the maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnant women infected with COVID-19. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used in this study of 75 women diagnosed with COVID-19 in the isolation unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Suez Canal University hospital. Data was collected by a structured interview questionnaire and assessment of patients' records in the period from April 26, 2021, to October 31, 2021.

Clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 in Security Forces Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is a global pandemic public health problem which affected more than 5 million worldwide and caused more than 500,000 deaths. Disease presentations varied from a symptomatic or mild to severe illness which leads to death.

Aim: The study describes the demographic and clinical characteristics patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to Security Forces Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between 15 March till 30 of June 2020.

Production and statistical optimization of Paromomycin by Streptomyces rimosus NRRL 2455 in solid state fermentation.

Background: Paromomycin is a 2-deoxystreptamine aminocyclitol aminoglycoside antibiotic with broad spectrum activity against Gram-negative, Gram-positive bacteria and many protozoa. This study introduces a strategy for paromomycin production through solid-state fermentation using Streptomyces rimosus subsp. paromomycinus NRRL 2455.

Giardiasis in symptomatic children from Sharkia, Egypt: genetic assemblages and associated risk factors.

() is a common enteric protozoan parasite worldwide and in Egypt. Identification of true prevailing assemblages helps in identification of the sources of infection. The study's aim was to determine the true prevalence of assemblages in Egyptian children from Sharkia governorate presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms and to investigate their association with molecularly detected .

Paromomycin production from Streptomyces rimosus NRRL 2455: statistical optimization and new synergistic antibiotic combinations against multidrug resistant pathogens.

Background: Response surface methodology (RSM) employing Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the environmental factors for the production of paromomycin, a 2 deoxystreptamine aminocyclitol aminoglycoside antibiotic, (2DOS-ACAGA) from Streptomyces (S.) rimosus NRRL 2455. Emergence of bacterial resistance caught our attention to consider the combination of antimicrobial agents.

Transarterial chemoembolization for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: a single center experience including 221 patients.

Background: Hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) is a major health problem in Egypt as well as in many countries. Transarterial chemoemoblization (TACE) is a treatment modality applicable to locally advanced HCC beyond surgery or ablative therapies and is associated with survival improvements. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of TACE in our center over the past four years.

Synthesis, infrared spectra and thermal studies of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes with 2-aminobenzaldehyde phenylhydrazone "nitrin" ligand.

The, nitrin, 2-aminobenzaldehyde phenylhydrazone (2ABPH) was synthesis by refluxing 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with phenylhydrazine in ethanolic solvent. Three transition metal (II) complexes of 2ABPH have been prepared. Elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, UV, 1H NMR, and mass spectra, as well as TG/DTG have been used to characterize these complexes.
