The present study aims at developing a photocatalytic mesofluidic reactor for the continuous treatment of liquid effluents.

Fasting from dawn to dusk during Ramadan is obligatory for all healthy adult Muslims.

A comparative randomized, single dose, two-way crossover, open label study was carried out to assess bioequivalence and tolerability of test (ZOLAN GPO®) and reference (Zyprexa Zydis®) products of olanzapine 5 mg orally disintegrating tablets for interchange ability in the same quality and safety.

BioequivalenceA sensitive ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method for measurements of N-butylscopolamine in plasma was developed and validated. A SPE extraction was proposed for the clean up of plasma and N-butylscopolamine-d9 was added as internal standard. The analyses were carried out using a phenyl column and mobile phase of acetonitrile:

Tumours of the parapharyngeal space are rare (less than 1% of head and neck tumours). They are of various etiologies, but pleomorphic adenomas from the parotid gland, nerve tumours and paragangliomas of the vagus nerve account for more than two thirds of cases.

Thyroid tissue samples of 200 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy, near total thyroidectomy and subtotal thyroidectomy for surgical management of multinodular goiter were designed our study. The surgical procedures were performed between January 2016 and December 2018 in general surgery department MUST University. Preoperative ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology and the postoperative surgical specimens were delivered to pathology lab at MUST University 6th of October city, Giza. Patients with thyroid neoplasms, thyroiditis, toxic and recurrent goiter were excluded from the study. Personal and demographic data were collected and analyzed. Postoperative clinical complications and incidental neoplasms were evaluated. All the patients were followed up over 1 year for expected clinical complications, recurrence of goiter and appearance of neoplasms.

The spent fuel from the nuclear power reactors is being stored in repositories and dry casks in many countries of the world. However, it does not solve the main problem of the spent fuel, which is the high radiotoxicity of fuel for a long term. A new strategy is required to close the nuclear fuel cycle, and for the sustainability of the nuclear power generation. This strategy could be the plutonium recycling to obtain more energy and recycle the Minor actinides produced during the irradiation, to transmute them into less radioactive products. In this work, we assess the amounts of Minor actinides generated in different fuel designs and the amounts of Minor actinides remaining after recycle them in a thermal reactor.

A growing body of evidence gathered over the past 10 years has demonstrated a clear escalation of sudden death (SD) in Chinese medical staff. This retrospective study was conceived to explore the first evidence of signs of SD, relieving clinical workload and strengthening protection against the overload of Chinese medical staff.

L-tryptophan is an amino acid which helps in the formation of proteins and certain brain-signaling chemicals, etc.

Stool impaction is an ailment resulted from chronic constipation which commonly found in the elderly population. It causes wide range of potential complications if not promptly diagnosed and treated. These complications doubled when elder people experience other comorbidities. A case of an 80 years old lady with advanced dementia, bedridden and non-communicating is presented for clinical study. This patient who was presented with abdominal distention and changes in her mental status was found to have stool impaction based on the clinical and radiological test conducted to her.

Onion is a high-value vegetable consumed in Nigeria on a daily basis, and it forms an integral part of the diet, but the nutritional quality is low due to lack of appropriate cultural practices. The study examined the effects of planting dates on the nutritional quality of onion varieties in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. Five onion varieties (Local white, a local red, karibou, gandiol+, and safari) were subjected into four different planting dates namely, two under rain-fed (early April and August) and two under irrigation (early September and November).

Physical and environmental stress in conjunction with hectic lifestyle and unhealthy food habits are the major cause of diverse neurodegenerative disorders. Oxidative neuronal injury and acetylcholine deficiency have a major impact on learning and memory retention. Most of the treatment strategies are based on the improvement of cholinergic function in the brain and one of the emerging therapeutic targets is to enhance the acetylcholine level in the brain. Standardized botanical extracts including Huperzia serrata (1% Huperzine A, CogniUp), Convolvulus pluricaulis (SP) and Celastrus paniculatus (JY) have been demonstrated to attenuate brain function by serving as a natural acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor.

Individuals who are diagnosed with severe mental illness (SMI) such as schizophrenia have always been viewed publicly as being hazardous, violent, aggressive and unpredictable. Their awareness of the fact that they are being discriminated against and stereotyped results in an intense feeling of being devalued by the society, which is referred to as Self-stigma [1,2].

The current study was investigated for the in vitro cognitive effect of the Consciousness Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) Treated novel proprietary test formulation in terms of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition, neuroprotection, and neurite outgrowth assays in two different neuronal cell-lines (SHS-Y5Y and PC-12 Cells). The test formulation divided into two parts; one part was received the Biofield Energy Treatment by Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi and termed as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, while the other part was denoted as the untreated test sample.

This article examines the current state of soil and water resources, farmland in Azerbaijan Republic, the problem of progressive water and wind soil degradation, the need for the organization of agriculture, taking into account the introduction of automated control systems for irrigation using water saving technology and hardware equipment in it, the study of the characteristics and analysis of experience implementing measures to stabilize ecological and drainage system of agriculture in conditions of insufficient moisture areas in the country, as well as basic aspects of development of environmental reclamation approach balanced, rational use of a particular system of crop rotation and crop taking into account the requirements of economic development and environmental management.

In Bolivia, the faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is cultivated in the Andean region, Altiplano and Interandean valleys. In these valleys mediumsized and early varieties are cultivated.

The first operation of adsorption on leaf surfaces in spray is drop sticking. In the water wettability of the surfaces, the sticking of the drops has a great importance.

Injuries of the Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of the thumb are relatively common and well described in the literature. Stener lesion refers to the displacement of the avulsed distal end of the UCL, moving to lie over the adductor aponeurosis making the chances of spontaneous healing impossible [1].

Gullo´s syndrome is a benign pancreatic hyperenzymemia that appears in healthy individuals and that is maintained over time, with fluctuations and transient normalization of pancreatic enzyme values in the absence of any evidence of clinical or morphological pancreatic disease. Its correct diagnosis is important to assure the carriers of the defect that there is no pancreas disease and to avoid unnecessary examinations, treatments and hospitalizations.
