Antifungal, Insecticidal, and Repellent Activities of Essential Oil and Molecular Docking of Its Constituents against Acetylcholinesterase and -Tubulin.

The aim of this study was to determine the phytochemical composition and evaluate the antifungal and insecticidal properties of essential oil (EO). GC-MS was employed to analyze the phytochemical profile of the EO. The antifungal activity of the EO was assessed by calculating growth inhibition rates for , , and .

Exploring the use of association rules in random forest for predicting heart disease.

Heart disease is one of the most dangerous diseases in the world. People with these diseases, most of them end up losing their lives. Therefore, machine learning algorithms have proven to be useful in this sense to help decision-making and prediction from the large amount of data generated by the healthcare sector.

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant, Anti-Diabetic, Anti-Acetylcholinesterase, Anti-Inflammatory, and Antimicrobial Properties of L. and L. Essential Oils.

The objectives of this work were to determine the phytochemical composition and antioxidant, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-acetylcholinesterase properties of L. and L. EOs.

Incidence of surgical site infections and prediction of risk factors in a hospital center in Morocco.

Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the postoperative period and are important surgical and hospital quality indicators. In this context, our study aims to identify SSIs associated risk factors and to develop a predictive model.

Methodology: 2521 patients who underwent surgery, between June 2018 and May 2019, in four surgery departments, at the Taza Provincial Hospital (Morocco) were diagnosed for SSI according to the standards of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Relationship between Nasal Carriage of and Surgical Site Infections in a Hospital Center in Morocco.

Background: Surgical site infection is a major public health problem in the world. Nasal carriage is a major risk factor for the development of nosocomial infection, especially methicillin-resistant (MRSA). Our work aims to determine the prevalence of , methicillin-resistant , and the associated risk factors and to evaluate their sensitivity to 27 antibiotics.

Microbiological Monitoring of the Environment Using the "Association Rules" Approach and Disinfection Procedure Evaluation in a Hospital Center in Morocco.

Background: The hospital environment, especially surfaces and medical devices, is a source of contamination for patients.

Objective: This study carried out, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time at Taza Hospital in Morocco aimed to assess the microbiological quality of surfaces and medical devices in surgical departments and to evaluate the disinfection procedure in time and space.

Methods: Samples were taken by swabbing after cleaning the hospital surface or medical device, to isolate and identify germs which were inoculated on semiselective culture media then identified by standard biochemical and physiological tests, using the analytical profile index (API) galleries.

Main Therapeutic Uses of Some Moroccan Hot Springs' Waters.

Morocco has an important groundwater reserve, especially in the Atlas domain, corresponding to its largest water reservoir. This reserve comes from rainwater infiltrated into rocks and sediments to give rise to mineralized waters feeding many springs and having curative properties, which confer each spa-specific therapeutic indications, based on the medicinal properties of its waters. All over the world, mineral waters of thermal springs have interesting therapeutic uses to cure some diseases; unfortunately, such potential is underexploited in Morocco.

Environmental Impact Assessment of Taza City's Wastewater: Application through Principal Component Analysis.

Taza City is among the Moroccan cities which is in full urban expansion, with a daily wastewater discharge volume estimated at 16534 m/d in 2020, and expected to reach 20056 m/d by 2030. These waters, collected in a combined sewerage network, are directly released into the natural environment without any treatment. Indeed, a large part of this water is discharged into Oued Defali, the main tributary of Oued Larbâa.
