Aspergillus coinfection in critically Ill patients with severe dengue

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2023
In 2014–2015, a significant outbreak of dengue fever occurred in southern Taiwan, with a subsequent decline in dengue incidence. Despite this, there is emerging concern about virus-associated aspergillosis, yet limited research has explored coinfections ...

Pharmaceutical use of galactomannans [PDF]

Química Nova, 2011
The pharmaceutical use of galactomannans from different sources, commercial and noncommercial, has been extensively studied over the past decade. Galactomannans show potential in the global trend towards the use of more plant-based products for ecological motives, and their production and application do not cause pollution or disturb the ecosystem ...

Prognostic Value of Serum and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Galactomannan Levels in Invasive Aspergillosis: An 8-Year Experience at a Tertiary Cancer Center

Journal of Fungi
Background: Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a life-threatening fungal infection that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals and has high morbidity and mortality rates, necessitating timely diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the

Makapuno Coconut: A Potential New Commercial Source of Galactomannan

CORD, 2010
Novel uses of Makapuno mutant coconut were explored. The focus was on the endosperm, which is rich in galactomannan as compared with that of the normal coconut.

Upgrading the Nutritional Value of PKC Using a Bacillus subtilis Derived Monocomponent β-Mannanase

Molecules, 2022
Palm kernel cake (PKC) is an abundant side stream that can only be added to non-ruminant feed in small concentrations due to its content of antinutritional factors, mainly galactomannan, which cannot be digested by non-ruminants.

Galactomannan use in clinical practice: providing free testing is not the full answer

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
Introduction: Invasive aspergillosis is a condition associated with a high mortality rate mostly due to difficulties in performing an early diagnosis. In recent years, galactomannan detection has markedly improved the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis,

Investigating plant galactomannans [PDF]

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2002
AbstractThis paper presents a review of biological importance and occurrence of galactomannan in plants. Its chemical composition and structure are reviewed, and a short laboratory practical exercise on the isolation and determination of D‐mannose/D‐galactose ratio of plant galactomannan is presented.

Enzyme specificity in galactomannan biosynthesis

, 1995
Membrane-bound enzymes from developing legume-seed endosperms catalyse galactomannan biosynthesis in vitro from GDP-mannose and UDP-galactose. A mannosyltransferase [mannan synthase] catalyses the extension of the linear (1-->4)-beta-linked D-mannan ...
