Saussurea costus extract as bio mediator in synthesis iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and their antimicrobial ability.

Saussurea costus is from medicinal plants and have therapeutic properties that were recorded in a variety of medical functions. The usage of biomaterials in the synthesis of nanoparticles is an essential strategy in green nanotechnology. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were composed in the stage of (2:1, FeCl2: FeCl3) solution by using the aqueous extract of Saussurea costus peel in an eco-friendly method to evaluate their antimicrobial property.

Clinical and radiological findings of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in children: About 16 children hospitalized in the pediatric department of a Tunisian tertiary care hospital.

Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological entity most frequently described in young- or middle-aged adults with a rare occurrence among children.

Aim: To determine the clinical, radiological features and outcome of PRES in children admitted to a Tunisian tertiary care pediatric department.

Methods: we retrospectively reviewed records of all children under 18 years old diagnosed with PRES and admitted to the PICU of the Pediatric department of Sahloul University Hospital from January 2000 to August 2021.

Antioxidant, cytotoxic and antibacterial potential of biosynthesized nanoparticles using bee honey from two different floral sources in Saudi Arabia.

Nowadays, the innovative study of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is excessive since they have incredible biomedical applications. The current study aimed to find out the potential of honey from two different floral sources ( and ) as biogenic mediators to synthesize AgNPs and to evaluate their antioxidant, cytotoxic and antimicrobial abilities. Biogenic AgNPs were studied for particle characterizations and the expected biomolecules helped in the reduction process of silver (Ag) ions to AgNPs.

Locally advanced cervical cancer in renal transplant patients: a dilemma between control and toxicity.

Purpose: Treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer in patients with a renal graft requires precautions. The graft is usually in a pelvic position, close to the clinical target volume (CTV). Preserving the graft while ensuring local control is a challenge we have faced in two occasions.
