Biohydrogen Production from Waste Black Cumin (Nigella Sativa) Extract Liquid.

Hydrogen creates water during combustion. Therefore, it is expected to be the most promising environmentally friendly energy alternative in the coming years. This study used extract liquid obtained from the waste nigella sativa generated by the black cumin oil industry.

ORAI1 defect in a patient with disseminated CMV infection and severe hypotonia.

Background: A clinical presentation similar to severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) with defective T cell activation but normal lymphocyte development occurs due to certain molecule defects including ORAI1- and STIM1.

Case: A four-month-old girl sufferd from fever, restlessness, diarrhea, and poor weight gain following the neonatal period. There was consanguinity and a positive family history.

Novel adsorbent for malachite green from okra stalks waste: synthesis, kinetics and equilibrium studies.

In this study, malachite green (MG) removal was performed with activated carbon synthesized from okra stalks by microwave assisted chemical activation method. In the synthesis of activated carbon, the effects of gas in the microwave, activation, and impregnation rate were investigated. The synthesized activated carbon characterization was investigated using BET, FT-IR, and SEM analyses.

Significance of intestinal alkaline phosphatase in predicting histological activity of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

Background: Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (iAP) is an intestinal brush border enzyme that is one of the factors involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between iAP enzyme and histological inflammatory activity in patients with IBD.

Methods: A total of 44 children were enrolled in this study including IBD patients (n=24; 12 Crohn`s disease [CD] and 12 ulcerative colitis [UC]) and controls (n=20).

A very rare cause of protein losing enteropathy: Gaucher disease.

Background: Mesenteric lymphadenopathy is a rare manifestation of Gaucher disease (GD) in children and can be accompanied by protein losing enteropathy (PLE). PLE is a difficult-to-treat complication of GD. To date, only a few pediatric GD cases with PLE and massive mesenteric lymphadenopathies have been reported.
