, and Associated to : First Report Worldwide.

A dieback was observed on three-year-old pot-grown plants of in Sicily (Italy). Symptoms, including stunting, yellowing and blight of the leaf crown, root rot and internal browning and decay of the basal stem, closely resembled the Phytophthora root and crown rot syndrome, common in other ornamentals. Isolations from rotten stem and roots, using a selective medium, and from rhizosphere soil of symptomatic plants, using leaf baiting, yielded three species, , and , were obtained.

Cold water immersion after a soccer match: Does the placebo effect occur?

Although cold water immersion (CWI) is one of the most widely used post-exercise strategies to accelerate recovery processes, the benefits of CWI may be associated with placebo effects. This study aimed to compare the effects of CWI and placebo interventions on time course of recovery after the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST). In a randomized, counterbalanced, crossover study, twelve semi-professional soccer players (age 21.

Methods: we conducted a national prospective longitudinal descriptive study of data collected from the National Surveillance System of SARS-CoV-2 infection of the ONMNE, Ministry of Health. All COVID-19-related deaths that occurred in Tunisia between March 2020 and February 2021 were included in this study.

Single Crystal Investigations, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, DFT Studies, Molecular Docking, Physico-Chemical Characterization, and Biological Activity of a Novel Non-Centrosymmetric Compound with a Copper Transition Metal Precursor.

A novel organic-inorganic hybrid non-centrosymmetric superconductor material [2-ethylpiperazine tetrachlorocuprate(II)] has been synthesized and investigated by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, thermal analyses, and density functional theory (DFT) studies. The single-crystal X-ray analysis indicates that the studied compound crystallizes in the P222 orthorhombic space group. Hirshfeld surface analyses have been used to investigate non-covalent interactions.

[Correlation between changes in electrocardiographic and echocardiographic measurements and the nature of the sport practiced].

Aims: Intense and regular sports practice leads to electrical and morphological cardiac remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate a correlation between electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes and the nature of the sport practiced.

Methods: Retrospective study of the electrocardiogram and echocardiography of competitive athletes recruited in the medical-sports center of Sousse RESULTS: A total of 554 athletes were included.

Sarcoid-Like Reaction in the Kidney Following Rituximab for Mantle Lymphoma in a 60-Year-Old Man.

The sarcoid-like reaction is a rare autoinflammatory disease that can affect lymph nodes or organs but does not meet the diagnostic criteria for systemic sarcoidosis. Several drug classes have been associated with the development of a systemic sarcoid-like reaction, which defines drug-induced sarcoidosis-like reactions and can affect a single organ. Anti-CD20 antibodies (rituximab) have rarely been reported as responsible for this reaction and this adverse effect has mainly been described during the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Comparative Study on Chemical Composition of Green and Black Table Olives Brines of the Endemic ''Sigoise'' Cultivar: Recovery of high-Added Values Compounds.

The effluents derived from the processing of table olives stand for a serious environmental problem. The study aims to valorize the brine water of table olives at different stages of ripening (green and black) of the Algerian variety Sigoise of Bejaia (East) and Mascara (West). The physico-chemical characterization revealed that these samples display have a high acid pH and salinity.

[ type B (Hib) meningitis in older children: about a case].

Physiological and genomic insights into abiotic stress of halophilic archaeon Natrinema altunense 4.1R isolated from a saline ecosystem of Tunisian desert.

Halophilic archaea are polyextremophiles with the ability to withstand fluctuations in salinity, high levels of ultraviolet radiation, and oxidative stress, allowing them to survive in a wide range of environments and making them an excellent model for astrobiological research. Natrinema altunense 4.1R is a halophilic archaeon isolated from the endorheic saline lake systems, Sebkhas, located in arid and semi-arid regions of Tunisia.

Comparative Study of the Effective Properties of 0-3 and Gyroid Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Cement-Piezocomposites.

In the present numerical simulation work, effective elastic and piezoelectric properties are calculated and a comparative study is conducted on a cement matrix-based piezocomposite with 0-3 and gyroid triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) inclusions. The present study compares the effective properties of different piezoelectric materials having two different types of connectivity of the inclusions namely, 0-3 inclusions where the inclusions are physically separated from each other and are embedded within the matrix and the second one is TPMS inclusions having interpenetrating phase type connectivity. Effective properties are calculated for four different materials at five different volume fractions namely, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% volume fractions of inclusion by volume.
