Investigating foliar application of bulk and nanoparticles titanium dioxide on fennel productivity to mitigate the negative effects of saline irrigation water.

Background: Fennel essential oils are fragrance compounds used in food and pharmaceutical sectors. One of the major impediments to expansion of fennel farming in Egypt's reclamation areas is saline water. Titanium dioxide (TiO) or TiO nano particles (TiONP) can be utilized to boost the yield of aromatic plants cultivated under saline irrigation water.

Gallic acid affects chamomile flower's essential oil.

Chamomile essential oil is used in the food and medicinal industries. Gallic acid has been identified as one of the most significant biological elicitors. At dosages of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/L, Gallic acid was sprayed on chamomile plants.

Glutathione to ameliorate growth criterions and chemical constituents of geranium irrigated with salt water.

Essential oil of geranium () has biological activities that make it used in food and pharmaceutical manufactures. High salinity is one of the factors that lead to lack of expansion in the production of medicinal and aromatic plants, especially in the new reclaimed soil located at arid and semi arid regions. Glutathione is a natural antioxidant that can help plants to withstand unfavorable environmental conditions such as the salinity of irrigation water.

Feasibility of Transcatheter Closure of Large Secundum Atrial Septal Defect with Absent Superior or Inferior Rim.

Introduction: Surgical closure of a large secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) with an absent superior or inferior rim is the standard method of management, but transcatheter closure of such a defect is possible and feasible.

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of transcatheter closure of large secundum ASD with an absent superior or inferior rim through implantation of a cheatham platinum (CP) stent at the entrance of the superior vena cava (SVC) or inferior vena cava (IVC) into the right atrium (RA) to create a suitable rim for subsequent complete closure of the defect using a septal occluder. .

Transcatheter closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defect with anomalous pulmonary venous drainage: Innovative technique with long-term follow-up.

Introduction: Surgical closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is the standard management. A safe and effective transcatheter approach will be an attractive option.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility and long-term safety of transcatheter closure of SVASD with anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
