    Abstract Studies conducted on the chemical composition of Zamzam water are conflicting especially for arsenic. Therefore, the aim of our study is to study the composition of tap and bottled Zamzam water and to compare its quality according to international guidelines of drinking water. Six Zamzam tap water samples as well as one bottled sample were analyzed according to standard methods (APHA) for their chemical constituents (pH, TDS, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Mn, Al, As, Cl

    Abstract Some viruses are known to be associated with increased apoptosis. Apoptotic cell death triggered by these viruses has a complex role in host antiviral immunity, and might facilitate the viral clearance or act as a mechanism for virus-induced tissue injury and disease progression. The induction of apoptosis is a hallmark of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Accumulating evidence suggests that there is a direct relationship between apoptosis rate and COVID-19 pathogenicity/severity. Targeting virus-induced apoptosis could be a promising strategy in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.

    Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in seriously ill patients is a major concern due to its ability to form biofilm and secrete effector toxins. There is little information on the prevalence of T3SS effector toxins and biofilm production in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from Nigeria. The goal of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of T3SS toxins and biofilm production among isolates from selected tertiary hospitals in Nigeria. This study examined 430 clinical isolates from our previous work, comprising 181 MDR (multidrug-resistant) and 249 non-MDR isolates. Biofilm production and type III secretion toxins were determined using colorimetric microtiter plate assay and polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Carbapenem-resistant isolates were typed using REP-PCR and BOX-PCR. Biofilm production was detected in 386/430 (89.8%) of the isolates. Out of 386 biofilm producers, 167 (43.3%) were multidrug-resistant isolates. PCR identified four T3SS virulence types among 430 isolates, including 78 (18.1%) exoU+/exoS- isolates, 343 (79.8%) exoU-/exoS + isolates, 5 (1.2%) exoU+/exoS + isolates, and 4 (0.9%) exoU-/exoS- isolates. Both REP- and BOX-PCR consist of eight clusters. On the REP-PCR dendrogram, ExoU

    Abstract Citrullus lanatus var. Colocynthoide "Gurum" is an unconventional crop that can be utilized as a new source of edible oil and has the ability to grow in a variety of harsh conditions. To mitigate the adverse effects of salinity on seed germination and plant performance of C. lanatus, seeds were primed in the aqueous extracts of the seaweed Ulva lactuca before planting under greenhouse conditions. The aqueous extract of U. lactuca at 8% w/v led to maximal seed germination percentage and seedling growth of C. lanatus. Moreover, U. lactuca extract counteracted the negative effects of salt stress on the plant by significantly increasing the activity of SOD, CAT, and POD. The bioactive components of U. lactuca, e.g. glycine betaine and phenolic compounds can account for such beneficial role of algal extract on C. lanatus. Thus, priming of C. lanatus seeds in U. lactuca extract with various concentrations of U. lactuca extract can be employed as an effective practice for successful seed germination, improved plant growth and enhanced salt resistance, probably as a result of increased antioxidant enzymes activity and photosynthetic pigments.

    Abstract Objectives: Death with graft function is one of the most catastrophic events after kidney transplant. Various pre and posttransplant risk factors have been linked to death with graft function. Characterization of this event is crucial to set successful preventive measures. Here, we reported on death with graft function among living donor kidney transplant recipients seen at the Urology and Nephrology Centre at Mansoura University (Mansoura, Egypt) throughout a period of >4 decades.
    Materials and methods: This single-center study included 2953 patients who received living donor kidney transplant between March 1976 and December 2018. Patient data were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who had death with graft function were compared with other patients with regard to pre- and posttransplant data. Causes of death with graft function were also studied.
    Results: Among our patients (1654 male [56%] and 1299 female [44%] patients), death with graft function was reported in 9.9% of patients and responsible for 58.3% of deaths and 24.6% of graft losses. Male sex, pretransplant dialysis and blood transfusion, pre- and posttransplant diabetes and hypertension, high HLA mismatches, antithymocyte globulin induction, steroid and cyclosporine use, steroid dose, acute rejection episodes, and posttransplant infections and malignancy were significantly higher among the death with graft function group. However, multivariate analyses showed that only pretransplant diabetes, steroid dose, and posttransplant infections were risk factors for death with graft function. The most common causes of death with graft function were cardiovascular disease, infections, and malignancy.
    Conclusions: Death with graft function remains a significant hindrance to competent kidney transplant outcomes. We found that the most common contributors to this major event were cardiovascular disease, infections, and malignancy. More attention is needed to modify risk factors of cardiovascular disease, to update implementation policies for posttransplant vaccinations, and to conduct increased malignancy surveillance, as well to adopt less aggressive immunosuppression regimens.

    Abstract We present the imaging findings of thoracic systemic venous anomalies diagnosed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Persistent left superior vena cava is the commonest anomaly of the thoracic systemic veins encountered either incidentally as an isolated finding or associated with congenital heart disease. Inferior vena cava (IVC) interruption with azygos continuation is the second most common anomaly, which may also be isolated or be associated with left isomerism syndrome. The article will also discuss other rarer systemic venous anomalies including retroaortic brachiocephalic vein and IVC drainage into the left atrium. Finally, the impact of pre-procedure reporting of thoracic systemic venous anomalies on the choice of intervention and patient outcome will be addressed.
