Cutaneous fistulization: An extremely rare presentation of hydatid liver cyst in a child.

We report the case of a 10-year-old child who presented with a renitent lesion on the left abdominal wall. Clinical, radiological, and intraoperative findings concluded to a cutaneous fistulization of a hydatid cyst of the left lobe of the liver. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination.

Bioinformatic survey of CRISPR loci across 15 Serratia species.

The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) system of prokaryotes is an adaptative immune defense mechanism to protect themselves from invading genetic elements (e.g., phages and plasmids).

A case report of multiple foreign body ingestion with a ring-like configuration: The magnetic effect.

Introduction: Magnetic foreign body (FB) ingestion represents a significant health hazard among children. The increasing use of small attractive magnets as toys or parts of various household accessories makes it easily accessible to children. The aim of this report is to raise awareness of public authorities and parents around exposing children to magnetic toys.

Population Dynamics of in Egypt Reveals Clonal Dominance of 23_A1 and Displacement of 13_A2 Clonal Lineage.

Potato ( L.) and tomato ( L.) are the most economically important vegetable crops in Egypt and worldwide.

Xeroderma pigmentosum and renal leiomyosarcoma: A very rare case report association.

Introduction: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disorder causing extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) rays. It is transmitted by an autosomal recessive mode. This disease is classically characterized by a high risk of skin cancer.

Congenital urethrocele in children. A case report.

Introduction: Congenital urethrocele is a rare disease in children. The diagnosis is often easy but the management remain difficult due to the risk of urethral stenosis form.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 19-month-old child presenting with a penoscrotal mass.

A rare case report of a neonatal idiopathic intussusception in a full-term newborn.

Introduction: In contrast with the usual idiopathic intussusception appearing in infants, neonatal intussusception in full-term newborns is a rare entity and usually due to an organic lead point lesion. It has a misleading and variable presentation. This manuscript reports a very rare case of neonatal idiopathic intussusception in a full-term male newborn in order to highlight the difficulties in establishing an early diagnosis.

New multiplex conventional PCR and quadruplex real-time PCR assays for one-tube detection of Phyllosticta citricarpa, Elsinoë fawcettii, Elsinoë australis, and Pseudocercospora angolensis in Citrus: development and validation.

Phyllosticta citricarpa, Elsinoë fawcettii, Elsinoë australis, and Pseudocercospora angolensis are major pathogens of citrus crops worldwide and can cause non-characteristic symptoms that may lead to confusion regarding the causative agent. These fungi are subject to international phytosanitary regulations, and testing on fruits or leaves requires accurate and easy-to-use tools. New multiplex conventional PCR and real-time PCR assays were developed here to achieve highly accurate simultaneous detection of all four fungal pathogens in fruit tissues.

Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanosheet-Decorated Copper Oxide Nanoparticles: A Potent Antifungal Nanocomposite against Fusarium Root Rot and Wilt Diseases of Tomato and Pepper Plants.

Sustainable use of nanotechnology in crop protection requires an understanding of the plant's life cycle, potential toxicological impacts of nanomaterials and their mechanism of action against the target pathogens. Herein, we show some properties of a candidate antifungal nanocomposite made from copper oxide (CuO; otherwise an essential soil nutrient) nanoparticles (NPs), with definite size and shape, decorating the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets. The successful preparation of the rGO-CuO NPs was confirmed by spectroscopic and microscopic analyses, and its antifungal activity against wild strains of affecting tomato and pepper plants was successfully confirmed.

A Set of Conventional and Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assays for Direct Detection of Elsinoë fawcettii, E. australis, and Pseudocercospora angolensis in Citrus Fruits.

Elsinoë fawcettii, E. australis, and Pseudocercospora angolensis are causal agents of citrus scab and spot diseases. The three pathogens are listed as quarantine pests in many countries and are subject to phytosanitary measures to prevent their entry.

Intestinal Malrotation and Volvulus in Neonates: Laparoscopy Versus Open Laparotomy.

Background: Intestinal malrotations with midgut volvulus are surgical emergencies that can lead to life-threatening intestinal necrosis. This study evaluates the feasibility and the outcomes of laparoscopic treatment of midgut volvulus compared with classic open Ladd's procedure in neonates.

Materials And Methods: The medical records of all neonates with diagnosis of malrotation and volvulus, who underwent surgery between January 1993 and January 2014, were reviewed.

Uncommun etiology of pediatric Hematuria: urethral lymphangioma.

We report a case of urethral cystic lymphangioma. Hematuria is the revealing symptom. Im our knowledge, is the third case described in literature.

Testicular tumours in prepubertal children: About eight cases.

Background: To analyze the spectrum of testicular tumors in prepubertal children and the therapeutic resultants in an unselected population.

Materials And Methods: Our hospital database was analyzed for testicular tumors from January 1995 to December 2010 concerning clinical presentation, treatment and therapeutic results.

Results: Eight patients were operated on because of testicular tumors.

Liver injuries in children: the role of selective non-operative management.

Background: Trauma remains the leading cause of mortality in the pediatric population. Liver injuries occur commonly in blunt abdominal trauma.

Aim: To assess the selective non-operative management of liver injuries in children.

Management of perineal ectopic testes.

Background: Perineal ectopic testis (PET) is a rare congenital anomaly in which the testis is abnormally situated between the penoscrotal raphe and the genitofemoral fold.

Aim: we report six patients treated for PET. The epidemiological, clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects of this rare entity are discussed in light of data of the literature.
