Quercetin and its potential therapeutic effects on aluminum phosphide-induced cardiotoxicity in rats: Role of NOX4, FOXO1, ERK1/2, and NF-κB.

Acute Aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning poses a serious global issue, yet the exact mechanisms behind AlP-induced cardiotoxicity are still not well understood. Moreover, there is no specific antidote available for AlP toxicity. Nevertheless, Quercetin (QE) has emerged as a promising therapeutic candidate in various contexts.

Prevalence of viral hepatitis (A, B, C, and E) infection and co-infection among hospitalized children in Cairo, Egypt.

Viral hepatitis is considered a public health issue facing the entire world. The World Health Organization encouraged all countries to work together to eliminate this fatal infection and achieve the 2030 agenda. The present study aimed to investigate the silent infection of viral hepatitis (A, B, C, and E) among hospitalized children in Cairo, Egypt, to control and avoid chronic infection early on.

Placenta percreta in primigravida with unscarred uterus complicated by uterine rupture and sudden maternal and fetal death: an autopsy case report.

Placenta percreta is a rare, aggressive, and severe form of the placenta accreta spectrum. One of its most devastating effects is the sudden rupture of uterus. Uterine scarring is the leading risk factor for uterine rupture, although it can also happen, but rarely, in an unscarred uterus showing more severe repercussions.

Sexual Harassment: Knowledge, Prevalence, Pattern, and Impacts Among Egyptian Female College Students.

Sexual harassment (SH) is an uprising problem worldwide, especially in Egypt. This study aims to determine the magnitude, patterns, and circumstances of SH among female students at Suez Canal University. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a representative female student sample () from all the faculties using a self-administered anonymous questionnaire.

Patterns of acute pediatric intoxication in Aljouf Province, KSA.

Objectives: Although childhood intoxication is avoidable, it remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in both developing and developed countries. The aim of this study was to assess the patterns and outcomes of acute pediatric intoxication in Aljouf, KSA.

Methods: A retrospective record-based descriptive study was conducted at the Prince Mutaib bin Abdulaziz hospital, and the Maternity and Children's hospital in Aljouf, KSA.

Egyptian perspectives on potential risk of paracetamol/acetaminophen-induced toxicities: Lessons learnt during COVID-19 pandemic.

Paracetamol/Acetaminophen was widely used as a first-line antipyretic and analgesic for COVID-19 patients without giving any attention to the potential risk of related toxicities. A survey was conducted on 176 Egyptians using an online survey portal to assess their knowledge, and attitude regarding potential risk of paracetamol toxicities and whether COVID-19 pandemic affected their practices regarding safe use of paracetamol. The self-administered questionnaire was developed by the researchers and was validated by expert opinions.

The potential neuroprotective role of Amphora coffeaeformis algae against monosodium glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in adult albino rats.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a neurotoxin found in most processed and infant formulas. Amphora coffeaeformis (AC) has neuroprotective properties. We investigated, for the first time, the potential neuroprotective role of AC on MSG-induced neurotoxicity in brain using a unique procedural approach.

Optimization Growth of Spirulina (Arthrospira) Platensis in Photobioreactor Under Varied Nitrogen Concentration for Maximized Biomass, Carotenoids and Lipid Contents.

Aims And Background: Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis (SP) microalgae were cultured in Zarrouk Medium (ZM), containing three nitrogen concentrations (N-limited, N-optimal and Nrich medium) in ten liter-photo-bioreactor (10 L PBR) for 15-days, in order to study changes in lipid compounds (total carotenoids and total lipids and their effect on fatty acid profile). Based on US patent, the yield of bioactive compounds (such as gamma-linolenic acid GLA, C18:3) extracted from microalgae biomass, mainly depends on the extraction processes (1). GLA has much attention with respect to its therapeutic properties such as its ability to decrease blood cholesterol levels.

High cell density cultivation of six fungal strains efficient in azo dye bioremediation.

This work aims at optimizing the high cell density fungal cultivation for producing large quantities of fungal biomass to be used in azo dye residues bioremediation. In our previous studies the efficacy of using certain fungal strains to decolorize a range of commercial textile dyes of different structures (azo, disazo) were investigated. Several promising fungal strains belonging to , , and demonstrated high capacity in decolorizing various azo dyes.
