Laryngotracheal trauma-induced Macklin effect: A case report.

Laryngotracheal trauma is a relatively rare traumatic injury seen particularly in young male adults. Trauma due to strangulation is one of its most frequent circumstances. However rare, pneumomediastinum is a particular complication of severe blunt neck injuries leading to alveolar ruptures.

Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma: A rare differential diagnosis of sinonasal mass.

Sino-nasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartomas (REAHs) are rare entity. They are benign tumors with excellent results after complete excision. We report a case of a 57-year-old male with a history of endoscopic surgery for right nasal polyps 20 years ago.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland concomitant with tuberculosis infection: A case report and review of the literature.

Tuberculosis of the salivary glands and particularly of the parotid gland is a localization that remains rare even in endemic countries. The association of intra parotid tuberculosis with a benign tumor has been found only in rare cases in literature. A 50-year-old woman with a history of normal pressure hydrocephalus treated surgically, non-smoker, presented with a right parotid swelling progressively increasing in size for 3 years.

Carbon mineralization, biological indicators, and phytotoxicity to assess the impact of urban sewage sludge on two light-textured soils in a microcosm.

The agricultural reuse of urban sewage sludge (USS) modifies soil properties depending on sludge quality, management, and pedo-environmental conditions. The aim of this microcosm study was to assess C mineralization and subsequent changes in soil properties after USS addition to two typical Mediterranean soils: sandy (Soil S) and sandy loam (Soil A) at equivalent field rates of 40 t ha (USS-40) and 120 t ha (USS-120). Outcomes proved the biodegradability of USS through immediate CO release inside incubation bottles in a dose-dependent manner.
