Antifungal Susceptibilities ofCryptococcus neoformans

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Resumen Los perfiles de susceptibilidad de los hongos de importancia médica en los países menos desarrollados siguen sin caracterizarse. Medimos las CMI de anfotericina B, 5-flucitosina, fluconazol, itraconazol y ketoconazol para aislados clínicos de Cryptococcus neoformans de Tailandia, Malawi y los Estados Unidos y no encontramos evidencia de ...

Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing of Drug‐Loaded Intravitreal Implants

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Selective laser sintering enables the fabrication of biodegradable and biocompatible intravitreal implants with tunable microstructures for sustained drug delivery. By modulating laser scanning speed, the polymer matrix architecture is engineered to control the release kinetics of dexamethasone and riboflavin over several months. This approach offers a

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: Current Approaches [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2020
Although not as ubiquitous as antibacterial susceptibility testing, antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) is a tool of increasing importance in clinical microbiology laboratories. The goal of AFST is to reliably produce MIC values that may be used to guide patient therapy, inform epidemiological studies, and track rates of antifungal ...

3D Bioprinted Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) Model Using Tunicate Derived Nanocellulose (NC) Bioink

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
A 3D bioprinted HNSCC model for use in anti‐cancer drug testing is established in proof‐of‐concept. The innovative tunicate‐derived nanocellulose hydrogel proved to be a viable alternative to gelatin‐based hydrogel, offering improved bioprintability for HNSCC model establishment.

PLUS: Primary Layer for Universal Sensing Enabling Improved Immunocapture of Biomarkers in Clinical Scenarios

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Primary Layer for Universal Sensing (PLUS), a universal coating for bioprobe immobilization across diverse substrates, is introduced. Unlike conventional methods, PLUS is directly grown from dopamine and avidin, creating a roughened surface with abundant biotin‐binding sites.

In-vitro Susceptibility Testing of Dermatophytes Isolated in Delhi (India) Against Five Antifungal Drugs

Medical and Health Science Journal
Background: Over the past few decades, cases of dermatophytosis have been on the rise. Recently, the introduction of newer, less toxic antifungal drugs has improved treatment options. However, the prolonged use of antifungals has led to the emergence of

Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...
