This case describes a scenario of lime-induced phytophotodermatitis. Phytophotodermatitis is a dermatitis caused after the skin is exposed to photosensitizing compounds in plants and then exposed to sunlight. Many common plants including citrus fruits, celery, and wild parsnip contain these photosensitizing compounds which cause phytophotodermatitis. It is important for a physician to be aware ...

background limited data are available regarding the effects of combined administration of cumin cyminum l. and lime on weight loss and metabolic profiles among subjects with overweight subjects. objectives the current study aimed to assess the effects of combined administration of cumin cyminum l. and lime on weight loss and metabolic profiles among subjects with overweight. patients and method...

expansive soils may cause disaster if not adequately taken care of. lime continues to be commonly used for modification of these types of soils although it may have limited success in some applications. thus, the present study was performed to address the viability of using silica fume (sf) as industrial waste to modify the behavior of expansive soils. this achieves the double objectives of ove...

Lime is a commercially important fruit in Thailand whose sale price depends on the fruit’s size; hence, farmers must grade limes by size before distribution. However, as lime grading machines are very expensive and each province has different limits, often performed manually, which time-consuming error-prone. Agricultural production systems for automatic selection use image processing technique...

Cable and Wireless, Jamaica (C&WJ) operated in Jamaica under an exclusive license which made them a virtual monopoly. In 1999 the Government of Jamaica decided to renegotiate the license and liberalize the telecommunications industry. Early in the liberalization process new companies entered the market and C&WJ struggled to cope with the new competitive dynamics of the market. C&WJ although dom...

Increasingly, strontium (Sr) isotopes are used to distinguish locals and migrants in prehistoric studies, by measuring 87 Sr/ 86 Sr human remains comparing these values the distribution of bioavailable study area, often surface water. However, it has recently been shown that agricultural lime can have a substantial impact on ratio concentration water areas where soils low- non-calcareous. Agric...

Lime witches’ broom phytoplasma (16SrII, LWB) causes major losses to lime cultivation in Iran. The role of its immunodominant membrane protein (IMP) in the specific interaction with vector proteins was addressed. The carboxy terminal moiety of LWB IMP, coding the extracellular part of the protein, was expressed (LWB f∆IMP) as a tool to study IMP interactions with insect proteins. In preliminary...
