Hypnotherapy is recommended for recalcitrant cases of many dermatologic disorders including viral warts, chronic urticarias, psoriasis and alopecia areata. A 23-year old, married lady referred with five years history of confluent verrucous and cauliflower type of viral warts on the dorsum of right foot and many discrete warty papules on the left foot and toes and on different aspects of both ha...

Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is a common complication of lepromatous leprosy. Some patients unresponsive to conventional, first-line therapeutics develop recurrent, recalcitrant ENL. Here, we report a case of severe refractory ENL that was successfully treated with Etanercept. Biologics may be considered as therapeutic alternatives in management of severe, recalcitrant ENL.

An innovative approach based on the combination of analytical pyrolysis coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) compound-specific isotope analysis (Py-CSIA) is used to study composting process maize biomass. This multidisciplinary aims elucidate decomposition rate main biogenic materials (lignin, cellulose, proteins, lipids, and waxes) responses process. According Py-GC/MS ...

The treatment of sulfur odorous compounds in mixture, Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and ethanethiol (EtSH), by biofiltration was examined. A significant effort was focused on the impact of nutrients supply, without forgetting the effect of other parameters such as the pH, on the process performances. Removal efficiencies of three biofilters packed with pine bark and composte...

Synthetic and bioinspired metalloporphyrins are a class of redox-active catalysts able to emulate several enzymes such as cytochromes P450, ligninolytic peroxidases, and peroxygenases. Their ability to perform oxidation and degradation of recalcitrant compounds, including aliphatic hydrocarbons, phenolic and non-phenolic aromatic compounds, sulfides, and nitroso-compounds, has been deeply inves...

Andisols are characterized by a high phosphorus (P) fixation capacity, which is a limiting factor for plant production. Continuous application of P fertilizer may result in an accumulation of P associated with soil organic matter (SOM), which further acts to reduce the availability of the added P. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the impact of P fertilizer inputs on the quantit...

In the last decade, extensive investigation has been done on the bacterial degradation of dioxins and its related compounds, because this class of chemicals is highly toxic and has been widely distributed in the environment. These studies have revealed the primary importance of a novel dioxygenation reaction, called angular dioxygenation, in the aerobic bacterial degradation pathway of dioxin. ...
