Pharmacokinetics of Micafungin in Critically Ill Patients [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
AbstractWe investigated covariates of pharmacokinetics of micafungin in critically ill patients. After application of micafungin, plasma samples were collected. Non-linear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM 7.3) was used to develop the pharmacokinetic model. Using this model, the adequacy of a fixed 100 mg dosing regimen was evaluated in the study cohort.

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.
