Based on history, maize was first introduced into Tunisia and northern Africa, at large, from the south of Spain. Several subsequent introductions were made from diverse origins, generating new landraces by recombination and selection for adaptation to arid environments.

Thiabendazole (TBZ), a recalcitrant fungicide, is frequently applied in postharvest fruit treatment and generates significant volumes of industrial wastewater (WW) that conventional treatment plants cannot handle. This explores a bioelectrochemical system (BES) for TBZ degradation using Tunisian hypersaline sediments (THSs) as inoculum. Four sets of BES, along with biological controls, were tested using THS subjected to different levels of TBZ biostimulation.

Introduction: In recent years, advancements in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have been notable, improving procedural techniques, imaging, and management of complications.
Aim: We sought to assess the performance and the practice of a high-volume Tunisian PCI center in treating patients with a CTO.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated data from consecutive CTO patients who underwent percutaneous revascularization from October 2019 to January 2024 at the cardiology department of Habib Thameur Teaching Hospital, Tunisia.
