Abstract	The transformative potential of blockchain technology in the renewable energy sector is increasingly gaining recognition for its capacity to enhance energy efficiency, enable decentralized trading, and ensure transaction transparency. However, despite its growing importance, there exists a significant knowledge gap in the holistic understanding of its integration and impact within this sector. Addressing this gap, the current study employs a pioneering approach, marking it as the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis in this field. We have systematically examined 390 journal articles from the Web of Science database, covering the period from 2017 through the end of February 2024, to map the current landscape and thematic trajectories of blockchain technology in renewable energy. The findings highlight several critical thematic areas, including blockchain's integration with smart grids, its role in electric vehicle integration, and its application in sustainable urban energy systems. These themes not only illustrate the diverse applications of blockchain but also its substantial potential to revolutionize energy systems. This study not only fills a crucial gap in existing literature but also sets a precedent for future interdisciplinary research in this domain, bridging theoretical insights with practical applications to fully harness the potential of blockchain in the renewable energy sector.

Abstract	The main purpose of the work is twofold. First, we tried to identify the main determinants that may explain the consumption of residential water in Tunisia using the pseudo panel method. This technique proved its effectiveness to overcome the lack of panel data. Moreover, the comparison between the obtained results using this method and those calculated based on the cross-sectional data showed the robustness of the pseudo-panel estimators. In the second step, our goal examined the policies and strategic orientations that seemed to be useful to manage water consumption in Tunisia. Estimation results reveal that the income elasticity of Tunisian residential demand for water is of about 1.18% and price elasticity is around 0.34 confirming that residential water demand in Tunisia is inelastic. This analysis consolidates the assumptions highlighting a coupling between Economic Status and drinking water consumption, the synergy between the equipment rate and water demand, and the synergy between the type of housing structure and the drinking water demand. In addition, it also emphasized the coupling between the socio-professional category of the household head and water consumption, the coupling between household size and water consumption, and the classical economic assumption confirming that price elasticity is negative.

Abstract	Tuberculosis of the salivary glands and particularly of the parotid gland is a localization that remains rare even in endemic countries. The association of intra parotid tuberculosis with a benign tumor has been found only in rare cases in literature. A 50-year-old woman with a history of normal pressure hydrocephalus treated surgically, non-smoker, presented with a right parotid swelling progressively increasing in size for 3 years. Clinical examination revealed a 4 cm long, firm, mobile, painless parotid swelling without inflammatory signs and without accessory lymphadenopathy. The oropharyngeal examination was without abnormalities. Ultrasound showed a mass of 31 × 27 mm suggesting a pleomorphic adenoma. MRI confirmed the suspicion of a pleomorphic adenoma of both lobes. The patient underwent a conservative total parotidectomy. The extemporaneous examination was in favor of a pleomorphic adenoma while the final pathology showed the coexistence of active tuberculosis lesions. The patient was put on long-term antituberculosis treatment with good clinical evolution. The clinical presentation of parotid tuberculosis is nonspecific mimicking any other tumor and the diagnosis can only be made by histological examination. Therapeutic management is based on long-term antituberculosis treatment.

Abstract	The H9N2 subtype of influenza A virus circulates frequently among poultry in Asian and North African countries causing economic loss in the poultry sector. The antigenic variations of the H9N2 virus were at the origin of its genetic evolution through the emergence of viral strains transmissible to humans and resistant to chemical antivirals, which require a strengthening of the fight means against this virus. In this study, we used a random linear hexapeptide library fused to the gene III protein of M13 filamentous bacteriophage to select new antiviral peptides that inhibit the infectivity of H9N2 virus. After three rounds of stringent selection and amplification, polyclonal phage-peptides directed against H9N2 virus were assessed by ELISA, and the optimal phage-peptides were grown individually and characterized for binding to H9N2 virus by monoclonal phage ELISA. The DNA of 27 phage-peptides clones was amplified by PCR, sequenced, and their amino acid sequences were deduced. Sixteen different phage-peptides were able to bind specifically the H9N2 virus, among them, 13 phage-peptides interacted with the hemagglutinin H9. Two selected peptides, P1 (LSRMPK) and P2 (FAPRWR) have shown antiviral activity in ovo and P1 was more protective in vivo then P2 when co-administered with the H9N2 virus. Mechanistically, these peptides prevent infection by inhibiting the attachment of the H9N2 virus to the cellular receptor. Molecular docking revealed that the peptides LSRMPK and FAPRWR bind to hemagglutinin protein H9, but interact differently with the receptor binding site (RBS). The present study demonstrated that the peptide P1 (LSRMPK) could be used as a new inhibitory molecule directed against the H9N2 virus.

Abstract	Introduction: early respiratory rehabilitation is required for patients with coronavirus virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) sequelae to reduce the risk of serious disabilities after hospital discharge. Methods: it was a comparative prospective study including patients with persistent symptoms one month after discharge. The patients were hospitalized at the pneumology department D of Abderahman Mami hospital for COVID-19 pneumonia. The study involved two groups: (G1) included patients who participated in respiratory muscle training program (twice a week during 6 weeks), and a control group (G2). The groups were matched based on age, sex and body mass index (BMI). Persistent symptoms and pulmonary lung function (forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), total lung capacity (TLC) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), maximal inspiratory pressure (PI max) and maximal expiratory pressure (PE max), 6 Minute Walk distance (6-MWD) at baseline and after 6 weeks were compared between the two groups. Results: the two groups of patients were comparable in terms of age, sex, BMI, comorbidities, and extent of lung computed tomography (CT) lesions. Compared to G2, a significant improvement of persistent symptoms was noted in G1, including dry cough (p=0.002), dyspnea (p=0.001), chest pain (p=0.002), and fatigue (p=0.001). The mean of percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) increased from 96.68% to 97.93% (p<0.01) in G1. A significant improvement in the percentages of change of FEV1 (p=0.005), FVC (p=0.003), TLC (p<0.001), DLCO (p<0.001), and 6-MWD (p=0.015) was also noted in G1 after this program. Nevertheless, only the percentage of FEV1 (p=0.02) increased in the control group. No impact of respiratory muscle training on PI max and PE max was noted. Conclusion: the present study demonstrated a significant improvement of persistent symptoms and exercise tolerance after short-term respiratory muscle training in patients suffering from COVID-19 sequelae.

Abstract	Background: Ectrodactyly is a rare congenital limb malformation characterized by a deep median cleft of the hand and/or foot due to the absence of central rays. It could be isolated or depicts a part of diverse syndromic forms. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in the Methods: We report a case of syndromic ectrodactyly consistent with ADULT syndrome, with an additional ophthalmic manifestation of agenesis of meibomian glands. The proband, as well as her elder sister, presented with congenital cone dystrophy.The molecular investigation was performed in the proband using Whole Exome Sequencing. Family segregation of the identified variants was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Results: Two clinically relevant variants were found in the proband: the novel de novo heterozygous missense c.931A > G (p.Ser311Gly) in the Conclusions: Whole Exome Sequencing allowed dual molecular diagnoses: de novo
