Global and Multi-National Prevalence of Fungal Diseases—Estimate Precision
TL;DR: The accuracy of the estimation of the burden of serious fungal infections country by country for over 5.7 billion people is questioned in the 43 published papers within the LIFE initiative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan-based hydrogels: Preparation, properties and applications.
TL;DR: The molecular dynamics simulation were performed on the delivery of the anticancer chlorambucil (CB) drug using three silica filled polymeric nanocomposites based on chitosan (CS), polylactic acid (PLA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and it was illustrated that among three drug delivery systems, the CSnanocomposite was the most efficient DDS due to the lowest drug diffusion.

Candida albicans Gene Deletion with a Transient CRISPR-Cas9 System
TL;DR: It is shown here that the CRISPR-Cas9 genetic elements can function transiently, without stable integration into the genome, to enable the introduction of a gene deletion construct.

An Update on Candida tropicalis Based on Basic and Clinical Approaches.
TL;DR: C. tropicalis has been considered an osmotolerant microorganism and this ability to survive to high salt concentration may be important for fungal persistence in saline environments, which makes this species suitable for use in biotechnology processes.

National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2006 Summary
TL;DR: Visits to primary care physicians at community health centers were more likely to document health education compared with office-based practices, whereas diagnostic or screening services, drug mentions, and any nonmedication treatment occurred at approximately the same proportion of visits for primary care providers in both type of settings.

Antifungal Susceptibilities of Candida Species Causing Vulvovaginitis and Epidemiology of Recurrent Cases
Sandra S. Richter,Rudolph P. Galask,Shawn A. Messer,Richard J. Hollis,Daniel J. Diekema,Michael A. Pfaller +5 more
TL;DR: The results support the use of azoles for empirical therapy of uncomplicated candidal vulvovaginitis and suggest recurrent episodes are more often caused by non-albicans species, for which azole agents are less likely to be effective.
