Pyrazoloazines are extremely useful in agriculture and medicine. The main objective of this article is to synthesize some new pyrazoloazines. Ethyl 3-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate undergoes diazotization, couples with activated methylene compounds and cyclizes to form pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]tri-azine derivatives. The title compound also reacts with $\alpha$-substituted cinnamonitriles to produce pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives. Structures of newly synthesized compounds are established via chemical and spectral methods.

Isolated Sudden Bilateral Neurosensory Hearing Loss as a Presentation of Lyme Neuroborreliosis: A Case Study

Rochd Sara,Benhoummad Othmane,Salhi Salma,Lakhdar Youssef,Rochdi Youssef,Raji Abdelaziz,Oualhadj Hamza,Kamouni Youssef El,Zouhair Said 대한청각학회 2024 Journal of Audiology & Otology Vol.28 No.1

Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is a rare but potentially serious manifestation of Lyme disease, caused by the spirochete <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>. Although LNB can affect various neurological systems, neurosensory hearing loss as the sole presentation is uncommon. We report a case of a 23-year-old woman who presented with a 2-month history of temporal headache, tinnitus, and instability, which was followed by sudden bilateral hearing loss without any other associated symptoms. Pure-tone audiometry revealed profound bilateral hearing loss. Serological testing for various pathogens was negative, except for <i>B. burgdorferi</i> IgM, which was confirmed using Western blot analysis. The patient received doxycycline treatment; unfortunately, no recovery of hearing was observed. This case report highlights the importance of considering LNB as a potential cause of neurosensory hearing loss, particularly in areas where Lyme disease is endemic, as well as the need for timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential complications.

Modified Activated Carbons from Olive Stones for the Removal of Heavy Metals

Youssef, A.M.,El-Nabarawy, Th.,El-Shafey, E.I. Korean Carbon Society 2006 Carbon Letters Vol.7 No.1

The activated carbon "C" was obtained by carbonization followed by activation with steam at 40% of burn-off. Oxidized carbons C-N, C-P and C-H were obtained by oxidizing the activated carbon C with concentrated nitric acid, ammonium peroxysulfate and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. The textural properties of the carbons were determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The acidic surface functional groups were determined by pH titration, base neutralization capacity and electrophoretic mobility measurements. The cation exchange capacities of un-oxidized and oxidized carbons were determined by the removal of Cu(II) and Ni(II) from their aqueous solutions. The surface area and the total pore volume decreased but the pore radius increased by the treatment of activated carbon with oxidizing agents. These changes were more pronounced in case of oxidation with $HNO_3$. The surface pH of un-oxidized carbon was basic whereas those of the oxidized derivative were acidic. The removal of Cu(II) and Ni(II) was pH dependent and the maximum removal of the both ions was obtained at pH of 5-6. Cu(II) was more adsorbed, a phenomenon which was ascribed to its particular electronic configuration.

Removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) From Aqueous solution Using Oxidized Activated Carbons Developed From Pecan Shells.

Youssef, A.M.,EL-Khouly, Sahar M.,El-Nabarawy, Th. Korean Carbon Society 2008 Carbon Letters Vol.9 No.1

Oxidized activated carbons were prepared by reacting steam-activated carbon developed from pecan shells with nitric acid of varying strength (15, 30, 45 and 60%). The textural properties and the chemistry of the surface of the non-oxidized and of the oxidized carbons were determined from nitrogen adsorption and base neutralization capacities. The uptake of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution by these carbons was determined by kinetic and equilibrium experiments as well as by the column method. Treatment with nitric acid brought about drastic decrease in surface area and remarkable increase in the pore size of the carbon with these changes depending on the strength of nitric acid. Nitric acid increased the surface acidity by developing new surface oxygen functional groups of acidic nature. $HNO_3$-oxidized carbons exhibited high adsorption capacities for Pb(II) and Cd(II). The adsorption of these ions increased with the decrease of the surface pH of the carbon and with the increase of the solution pH from 2.5 to 6 and 7. The amount adsorbed from lead and cadmium was also related to the amount of surface acidity, the pH of the point of zero charge and on some metal ion parameters. Cadmium and lead uptake by the investigated carbons followed pseudo-second order model and the equilibrium sorption data fitted Langmuir adsorption model.

New Action Pattern of a Maltose-forming α-Amylase from Streptomyces sp. and its Possible Application in Bakery

( Youssef Ben Ammar ),( Takayoshi Matsubara ),( Kazuo Ito ),( Masaru Lizuka ) 생화학분자생물학회 2002 BMB Reports Vol.35 No.6

An α-amylase(EC 3.2.1.1) was purified that catalyses the production of a high level of maltose from starch without the attendant production of glucose. The enzyme was produced extracellularly by thermophilic Streptomyces sp. that was isolated from Thailand`s soil. Purification was achieved by alcohol precipitation, DEAE-Cellulose, and Gel filtration chromatographies. The purified enzyme exhibited maximum activity at PH 6-7 and 60℃. It had a relative molecular mass of 45 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE. The hydrolysis products from starch had α-anomeric forms, as determined by ^1H-NMR. This-maltose-forming α-amylase completely hydrolyzed the soluble starch to produce a high level of maltose, representing up to 90%. It hydrolyzed maltotetrose and maltotriose to primarily produce maltose (82% and 62%, respectively) without the attendant production of glucose. The high maltose level as a final end-product from starch and maltooligosaccharides, and the unique action pattern of this enzyme, indicate an unusual maltose-forming system. After the addition of the enzyme in the bread-baking process, the bread`s volume increased and kept its softness longer than when the bread had no enzyme.

Water Vapor Adsorption and Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition on Date Pit Carbonization Products

Youssef, A.M.,El-Nabarawy, Th.,Ahmed, S.A. Sayed,Rashwan, W.E. Korean Carbon Society 2005 Carbon Letters Vol.6 No.4

Carbonization products C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 were prepared by the carbonization of date pit in limited air, at 500, 600, 700, 800 and $1000^{\circ}C$, respectively. C1-V-600, C3-V-600, C1-V-1000 and C3-V-1000 were prepared by thermal treatment of C1 and C3 under vacuum at 600 and $1000^{\circ}C$. The textural properties were determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and from carbon dioxide adsorption at 298 K. The surface pH, the FTIR spectra and the acid and base neutralization capacities of some carbons were investigated. The amounts of surface oxygen were determined by out-gassing the carbon-oxygen groups on the surface as $CO_2$ and CO. The adsorption of water vapor at 308 K on C1, C2, C3 and C4 was measured and the decomposition of $H_2O_2$ at 308 K was also investigated on C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5. The surface area and the total pore volume decreased with the rise of the carbonization temperature from 500 to $1000^{\circ}C$. The adsorption of water vapor is independent on the textural properties, while it is related to the amount of acidic carbon-oxygen groups on the surface. The catalytic activity of $H_2O_2$ decomposition does not depend on the textural properties, but directly related to the amount of basic carbon-oxygen complexes out-gassed as CO, at high temperatures.

Youssef El Hajj Shehadeh,Omar Alfandi,Dieter Hogrefe 한국통신학회 2012 Journal of communications and networks Vol.14 No.4

This paper tackles the problem of generating shared secret keys based on the physical characteristics of the wireless channel. We propose intelligent quantization mechanisms for key generation,achieving high secret bits generation rate. Moreover, some practical issues affecting the performance of the key generation mechanism are deeply investigated. Mainly, we investigate the effects of delay and mobility on the performance and we enhance the key generation mechanism accordingly. As a result, this paper presents a framework towards robust key generation from multipath wireless channels.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage following septorhinoplasty

Youssef, Ahmed,Ahmed, Shahzad,Ibrahim, Ahmed Aly,Daniel, Mulvihill,Abdelfattah, Hisham M.,Morsi, Haitham Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surge 2018 Archives of Plastic Surgery Vol.45 No.4

Septoplasty/septorhinoplasty is a common ear, nose and throat procedure offered for those patients with deviated septum who are suffering from nasal obstruction and functional or cosmetic problems. Although it is a basic and simple procedure, it could lead to catastrophic complications including major skull base injuries which result in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. We describe two different cases of traumatic CSF leaks following septoplasty/septorhinoplasty at two different sites. The first patient suffered a CSF leak following septoplasty and presented to Alexandria University Hospital. The leak was still active at presentation and identified as coming from a defect in the roof of the sphenoid sinus and was repaired surgically. The second patient presented 4 days after her cosmetic septorhinoplasty with a CSF leak and significant pneumocephalus. She was managed conservatively. Understanding the anatomical variations of the paranasal sinuses and implementing proper surgical techniques are crucial in preventing intracranial complications when performing either septoplasty or septorhinoplasty. A good quality computed tomography of the nose and paranasal sinuses is a valuable investigation to avoid major complications especially CSF leaks following either procedure.
