Chitosan and alginate/Aspergillus flavus-mediated nanocomposite films for preservation of postharvest tomatoes.

The isolated Aspergillus flavus NSRN22 was used for green synthesis of silver and selenium nanoparticles (AgNPs and SeNPs). New food packaging films produced by combining each type of NPs with chitosan (CS) or sodium alginate (SA) were characterized. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the average particle size was lower in case of AgNPs (9 to 14.

The protective effects of dietary microalgae against hematological, biochemical, and histopathological alterations in pyrogallol-intoxicated .

Microalgae have well-established health benefits for farmed fish. Thus, this study aims to explore the potential protective effects of , is, and against pyrogallol-induced hematological, hepatic, and renal biomarkers in African catfish (), as well as the histopathological changes in the liver and kidney. Fish weighing 200 ± 25 g were divided into several groups: group 1 served as the control, group 2 was exposed to 10 mg/L of pyrogallol, and groups 3, 4, and 5 were exposed to the same concentration of pyrogallol, supplemented with at 20 g/kg diet, is at 50 g/kg diet, and at 5 g/kg diet, respectively, for 15 days.

Discriminative features of immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and associated autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) in a nationwide observational cohort: study from the Egyptian College of Rheumatology.

Objective: The objective of this study is to present the clinical characteristics of immunoglobulin G4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) patients and describe associated overlap with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs).

Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 81 patients with IgG4-RD who were recruited from 13 specialized rheumatology departments and centers across the country in collaboration with the Egyptian College of Rheumatology (ECR). Patients underwent a thorough history-taking and clinical examination.

Effect of a high-impact exercise program on hip strength indices in a group of obese women after bariatric surgery.

The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of a 12-month high-impact physical training program (descending stairs) on bone health in a group of young obese women who had undergone bariatric surgery (type sleeve). Fifty-two premenopausal women with a body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m (range: 35.06-60.
