Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumors in a Three-Year-Old Child.

Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCT) are extremely rare malignant tumors deriving from the sex cord stroma. An abdominal mass and a virilization syndrome dominate the clinical symptoms. This particular tumor poses diagnostic and therapeutic problems.

Production of sustainable thermoplastic composites from waste nitrogen fertilizer-grown marine filamentous cyanobacterium Geitlerinema sp.

The global demand for petroleum-derived plastics continues to increase, as does pollution caused by plastic consumption and landfilling plastic waste. Recycling waste plastics by thermomechanical molding may be advantageous, but it alone cannot address the challenges associated with plastic demand and its widespread pollution. A more sustainable and cleaner approach for recycling plastic waste could be to produce thermoplastic composite blends of waste plastic and biobased alternative materials such as marine algal biomass.

A comprehensive review on versatile microalga Tetraselmis: Potentials applications in wastewater remediation and bulk chemical production.

Microalgae are considered sustainable resources for the production of biofuel, feed, and bioactive compounds. Among various microalgal genera, the Tetraselmis genus, containing predominantly marine microalgal species with wide tolerance to salinity and temperature, has a high potential for large-scale commercialization. Until now, Tetraselmis sp.

Harnessing rhizospheric core microbiomes from arid regions for enhancing date palm resilience to climate change effects.

Date palm cultivation has thrived in the Gulf Cooperation Council region since ancient times, where it represents a vital sector in agricultural and socio-economic development. However, climate change conditions prevailing for decades in this area, next to rarefication of rain, hot temperatures, intense evapotranspiration, rise of sea level, salinization of groundwater, and intensification of cultivation, contributed to increase salinity in the soil as well as in irrigation water and to seriously threaten date palm cultivation sustainability. There are also growing concerns about soil erosion and its repercussions on date palm oases.
