Relative Frequency of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy in Egypt: A Reference Laboratory Report.
Front Biosci (Schol Ed)
December 2024
Biochemical Genetics Department, Human Genetics and Genome Research Institute, National Research Centre, 12622 Cairo, Egypt.
Background: Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by a deficiency in arylsulfatase A (ARSA) activity and belongs to the group of lysosomal storage diseases. A biochemical diagnosis of MLD is based on determining the residual ARSA activity in leukocytes, skin fibroblasts, and urine. This study documents our biochemical experience and estimates the relative frequency of MLD over 21 years (2001-2022).

January 2024
Food Laboratory Department, Food and Drugs Authority, Post Office Box CT2783, Cantonments, Accra, Ghana.
Introduction: Potassium bromate (KBrO) is an oxidizing agent added to flour to improve bread quality. However, KBrO is nephrotoxic, and a class B carcinogen banned in most countries, including Ghana.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the residual KBrO concentration in bread and to estimate the chemical and carcinogenic risk that is associated with the consumption of these breads in Ghana.

Using Agaricus bisporus crude extract in distance based 3D microfluidic paper-based analytical device and spectrophotometric analytical procedures for thiols determination.

December 2024
Analytical Chemistry Division, Chemistry Department, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119234, Moscow, Russia. Electronic address:
Novel and simple spectrophotometric and distance based procedures for thiols (L-cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, and glutathione) determination in biological fluids and pharmaceuticals have been proposed based on their inhibitory action on the oxidation of catechol in the presence of Agaricus bisporus crude extract (ABE). The influence of L-glycine, L-alanine, L-proline, L-methionine, L-cystine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, and bilirubin on the thiol determination has been investigated. Uric acid, bilirubin, L-cystine (oxidized thiol), and L-amino acids do not interfere with the determination.

Mar Drugs
November 2024
Department for Life Quality Studies, University of Bologna, Corso d'Augusto 237, 47921 Rimini, Italy.
Marine microalgae are emerging as promising sources of polyphenols, renowned for their health-promoting benefits. Recovering polyphenols from microalgae requires suitable treatment and extraction techniques to ensure their release from the biomass and analytical methodologies to assess their efficiency. This review provides a comprehensive comparison of traditional and cutting-edge extraction and analytical procedures applied for polyphenolic characterization in marine microalgae over the past 26 years, with a unique perspective on optimizing their recovery and identification.
