Characterization of a biosurfactant producing electroactive Bacillus sp. for enhanced Microbial Fuel Cell dye decolourisation.

A biosurfactant producing Gram positive bacterium isolated from anodic biofilm of textile wastewater fed MFC was identified as Bacillus sp. MFC (Accession number: MT322244). Scanning Electron Microscopy of the bacterium showed appendages, the bacterium forms biofilm on Congo red agar medium.

Outcome of Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia With FLT3-ITD Mutation: The Experience of Children's Cancer Hospital Egypt, 2007-17.

Introduction: The presence of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with high rates of induction failure and worse survival. Its presence places the patient into a high-risk group. We aimed to describe the outcome of pediatric AML with FLT3-ITD mutation.

Efficacy of Gamma-Irradiated Macroporous Microbial Biomat for Lead Removal: A Proposed Application to Aquacultures.

Lead mobilization in aquaculture and its generated health hazards prompted the use of a cheap and reusable method for its removal within a short duration. A 3D macroporous microbial biomat formed of Trichoderma viride immobilized on luffah was used for Pb removal. The biomat was used to remove 79% of initial 400 mg/kg Pb in 24 h that increased to 87% under optimized conditions of pH, temperature, and contact time.

Effect of aerobic exercise during pregnancy on antenatal depression.

Background: Antenatal depression is not uncommon and is associated with a greater risk of negative pregnancy outcomes.

Aim: Exploring the effect of exercise in preventing and treating antenatal depression.

Methods: This was a prospective interventional controlled study carried out in 100 pregnant women treated at the Ain-Shams Family Medicine Center and Maadi Outpatient Clinic, Cairo, Egypt.
