The Importance of Argan Oil in Medicine and Cosmetology.

Argan oil, rich in unsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols, exerts beneficial effects on both the intestinal and skin microbiotas. In the gut, it promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as , while reducing pathogenic bacteria, due to its anti-inflammatory properties that help maintain microbial balance. Additionally, it improves the integrity of the intestinal mucosa, reducing the risk of dysbiosis.

Analysis of Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Capacity, Acute Toxicity, and Antinociceptive Properties of Aqueous Extract of Origanum Majorana L.

Pharmacological evaluation showed that AEOM significantly reduced pain in an animal model, suggesting potential analgesic properties. Acute toxicity studies indicated no adverse effects on kidney and liver function or blood parameters at doses up to 800 mg/kg. The analgesic effect is likely mediated by flavonoids in the extract, which may inhibit pain pathways.

Microwave-driven oleic acid esterification over chlorosulfonic acid-treated hydroxyapatite: synergism for intensified biodiesel production.

Treating hydroxyapatite (HAP) with sulfonic acid without structural destruction remains challenging owing to the sensitivity of HAP to acidic pH. In this work, natural derived HAP was prepared using natural phosphate a dissolution/precipitation process. Notwithstanding the challenge, the prepared HAP was treated with three concentrations of chlorosulfonic acid in dichloromethane to prepare HAP-S1, HAP-S2 and HAP-S3 depending on the acid content under carefully controlled conditions.

In light of the increasing water scarcity and the need for sustainable waste management, the use of landfill leachate for irrigation has emerged as both a solution and a concern, posing potential risks to soil health and plant vitality. This study examined the multifaceted impacts of leachate irrigation on the soil characteristics, plant growth, and enzymatic activities of Medicago sativa (M. sativa).

Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma: Immunohistochemical Classification According to Hans Algorithm and Association With Outcome in A Moroccan Institution.

Background: The most prevalent subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Germinal center B-cell (GCB) and non-germinal center B-cell (non GCB) are the two main biologically different molecular subtypes identified utilizing an immunohistochemistry-based approach.

Aim: Our objective in this study is to analyze the impact of immunohistochemical subtypes of DLBCL (GCB or non GCB) on demographic and clinicopathological parameters, response to chemotherapy and survival outcomes.

Early heart disease prediction using feature engineering and machine learning algorithms.

Despite the efforts of healthcare professionals, cardiovascular surgeons and cardiologists' misdiagnosis and misinterpretation of test results may happen every day.

Genetic diversity and genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 during the first 3 years of the pandemic in Morocco: comprehensive sequence analysis, including the unique lineage B.1.528 in Morocco.

During the 3 years following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the African continent, like other regions of the world, was substantially impacted by COVID-19. In Morocco, the COVID-19 pandemic has been marked by the emergence and spread of several SARS-CoV-2 variants, leading to a substantial increase in the incidence of infections and deaths. Nevertheless, the comprehensive understanding of the genetic diversity, evolution, and epidemiology of several viral lineages remained limited in Morocco.

Emergency Endoscopic Endonasal Optic Nerve Decompression for Graves' Orbitopathy.

Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is a rare autoimmune disease that affects patients in their fourth to sixth decade, resulting in retro-orbital inflammation and hypertrophy of extraocular muscles and orbital fat. It is the most common disease affecting the orbit globally, and treatment options vary depending on the severity and activity status of the affection, ranging from local measures such as lubricating eye drops and patching, glucocorticoid eye drops, mydriatics, nonsteroid anti-inflammatory medications to systemic glucocorticoids, and emergency orbital decompression surgery. Immunotherapy and orbital radiation may as well be used as a treatment option even though their efficiency remains controversial.
