Association between Antifungal Prophylaxis and Rate of Documented Bacteremia in Febrile Neutropenic Cancer Patients [PDF]
, 2017 Published data have suggested a correlation between antifungal prophylaxis and bacteremia in febrile neutropenia. This correlation was investigated among 3002 febrile neutropenic patients enrolled in 4 trials during 1986-1994. Globally, 1322 patients (44%

Fungicidal activity plus reservoir effect allow short treatment courses with terbinafine in tinea pedis [PDF]
, 2008 Terbinafine, a synthetic allylamine, exerts fungicidal activity against dermatophytes, the causative pathogens of tinea pedis. As proven in numerous clinical trials, tinea pedis can be effectively and safely treated by topical terbinafine.

A Strong and Water‐Retaining Biomass Adhesive Inspired by Tofu
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Drawing inspiration from the formation mechanism of the traditional food tofu, a strong and water‐retaining adhesive is designed using the soybean meal (SM) oxidized by glucose oxidase (GOx) and calcium sulfate oligomer (CSO). This design strategy effectively addresses the conflicting requirements of water‐resistant bonding strength and water retention

Synthetic Strategy for mRNA Encapsulation and Gene Delivery with Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This research utilizes the ZIF‐8 for the encapsulation and intracellular delivery of nucleic acids, specifically mRNA, for applications in gene delivery. Integrating PEI addresses the issue of mRNA leakage from ZIF‐8, resulting in the delivery and expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in vitro and firefly luciferase in vivo.

Classification Framework and Structure-Activity-Relationship (SAR) of Tetracycline-Structure-Based Drugs [PDF]
, 2011 By studying the literature about Tetracyclines (TCs), it becomes clearly evident that TCs are very dynamic molecules. In some cases, their structure-activity-relationship (SAR) are known, especially against bacteria, while against other targets, they are virtually unknown.
