The present research aimed to correlate changes in saline soil properties and cabbage agro-physiological attributes under compost-biochar co-application. The treatments used prior to cabbage cultivation were soil applications of compost/biochar mixtrure (CMB) at rates of 0 (CMB 0 ), 10 (CMB 10 ), and 20 (CMB 20 ) t ha –1 in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The CMB 20 was the effective practice for re...

Objective This research aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and safety of nitazoxanide and escitalopram as adjuvant therapies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods In this randomized controlled parallel study, 90 patients with active RA were randomized into three groups; group 1 (control group; n = 30) which received traditional therapy, group 2 (Nitazoxanide group; n = 30) which received traditional therapy pl...

Schistosomiasis is a severe illness carried by snails of the genus Biomphalaria , which have a large distribution in Egypt. Control of the intermediate host snail is critical in limiting schistosomiasis spread. On the topic of snails’ management, bioactive products extracted from aquatic invertebrates have gained more interest. Here, for the first time, the current research intended to identify the bioactive compounds present...

Twenty-nine sediment samples were collected from Hurghada Bay, a highly impacted coastal area along the Northern Red Sea of Egypt, to evaluate environmental quality and human-induced effects on benthic ostracods. As potential bioindicators, benthic ostracods are highly responsive to environmental disturbances, with pollution leading to reduced abundance, lower diversity, and increased opportunistic taxa. To investigate the lin...
