Effects of Fogging System and Nitric Oxide on Growth and Yield of 'Naomi' Mango Trees Exposed to Frost Stress.

In years with unfavorable weather, winter frost during the blossoming season can play a significant role in reducing fruit yield and impacting the profitability of cultivation. The mango Naomi cultivar L. has a low canopy that is severely affected by the effects of frost stress.

Assessment of community psycho-behavioral responses during the outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV): a cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: The novel coronavirus 2019 (2019-nCoV) is a public health emergency of international concern resulting in adverse psychological impacts during the epidemic.

Methods: From 1 to 10 April 2020, we conducted an online survey. The online survey collected information on demographic data, precautionary measures against (2019-nCoV), self-health evaluation, knowledge, and concerns about (2019-nCoV), and appraisal of crisis management.

Effect of Salt Stress and Foliar Application of Salicylic Acid on Morphological, Biochemical, Anatomical, and Productivity Characteristics of Cowpea ( L.) Plants.

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of salinity on vegetative growth, chemical constituents, and yields of cowpeas () and the possible benefits of salicylic acid (SA) on these plants after damage from salinity. To achieve these objectives, two pot experiments were carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture, Al-Azhar University, Egypt, during the two growing seasons of 2019 and 2020. The results revealed that salinity significantly decreased, and SA treatment substantially increased the plant height, number of compound leaves, number of internodes per plant, fresh weights of leaves and stems, productivity, photosynthetic pigments content, and concentrations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) of the cowpea plants compared with the control.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: Does repair after two years of age have a worse outcome?

Introduction: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is the commonest cause of disorders of sex development (DSD) in children. The timing of surgery, early versus late, is a subject of current debate. We hypothesize that surgery for congenital adrenal hyperplasia after age two results in a worse outcome than procedures performed earlier in the neonatal period.

Sex assignment practice in disorders of sexual differentiation: survey results from paediatric endocrinologists in the Arab region.

Background Sex assignment is a major issue in disorders of sexual differentiation (DSD). Not all conditions of DSD have clear recommendations on assignment and timing of surgery. Reports about sex assignment practice and the influence of culture and religion in the Arab region are scarce.

Frequency and risk factors of depression in type 1 diabetes in a developing country.

Background: Living with type 1 diabetes, especially in developing countries, can feel overwhelming for parents and children because constant vigilance is required for proper care with an inadequacy of resources. Our aim was to investigate the frequency and risk factors of depressive symptoms in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: The study was conducted using epidemiologic studies Depression Scale Questionnaire for Children (CES-DC) on 86 patients with type 1 diabetes from the Diabetes Clinic in Alexandria University Children's Hospital, Egypt.

E-Waste and Harm to Vulnerable Populations: A Growing Global Problem.

Background: Electronic waste (e-waste) is produced in staggering quantities, estimated globally to be 41.8 million tonnes in 2014. Informal e-waste recycling is a source of much-needed income in many low- to middle-income countries.

Lipohypertrophy in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and the associated factors.

Background: Despite the important implications of lipohypertrophy for diabetes control, there is a dearth of information and research about the subject in children. The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of lipohypertrophy in children with type 1 diabetes, and to evaluate the associated factors.

Findings: 119 children coming for regular follow up in the diabetes clinic were examined for the presence of lipohypertrophy by inspection and palpation.

Linear growth, growth-hormone secretion and IGF-I generation in children with neglected hypothyroidism before and after thyroxine replacement.

We studied growth hormone (GH) stimulation and insulin-like growth factor -I (IGF-I) generation tests in 15 children with neglected congenital hypothyroidism (CH) (age = 6.4 +/- 4.2 years) and measured their growth parameters for >1 years after starting thyroxine (T4) replacement.
