Antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida auris strains: Analysis of clinical strains in a tertiary-care educational university hospital.

Herein, we aimed to investigate the antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida auris clinical strains in our setting Bahrain Oncology Center-King Hamad University Hospital-Bahrain. C. auris strains isolated from different clinical specimens in the Microbiology Laboratory from October-2021 to November-2022 were evaluated.

Identification of novel endogenous control miRNAs in heart failure for normalization of qPCR data.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs, are utilized as biomarkers for a wide range of disorders. Circulating miRNAs are proposed as potential markers in the clinical identification of heart failure (HF). However, identifying miRNA biomarkers in HF requires identification of robust endogenous control miRNAs for normalization in differential expression analysis.

Can daily bathing with 4% chlorhexidine + daily chlorhexidine wipe for 1 week be effective in decolonizing Candida auris colonization?

Background: Herein, it is aimed to present the decolonizing rates of Candida auris colonized cases after daily bathing with 4% chlorhexidine plus daily cleaning with 4% chlorhexidine wipe for 1 week (will be mentioned as DCHX).

Methods: The study period was from October, 2021, to November, 2022. Inclusion criteria were (i) age > 18, (ii) receiving DCHX, (iii) proven C.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles: Characterizations and cytocompatibility with lapine primary tenocytes.

Current treatment systems for tendon injuries are very few and do not ensure complete cure. This is a serious health concern for sports persons and the aged population. It is known that the nano- or microsized particles of natural products such as /cumin seed () has been used traditionally as a home remedy for the treatment of tendon injuries.
