Distribution of species and risk factors for aspergillosis in mainland China: a systematic review.

Background: , a widespread fungus in the natural environment, poses a significant threat to human health by entering the human body the airways and causing a disease called aspergillosis. This study comprehensively analyzed data on aspergillosis in published articles from mainland China to investigate the prevalence of , and risk factors, mortality rate, and underlying condition associated with aspergillosis.

Methods: Published articles were retrieved from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct online search engines.

Epidemiology and antifungal susceptibilities of clinically isolated species in South China.

Aspergillosis is a rising concern worldwide; however, its prevalence is not well documented in China. This retrospective study determined epidemiology and antifungal susceptibilities at Meizhou People's Hospital, South China. From 2017 to 2022, the demographic, clinical, and laboratory data about aspergillosis were collected from the hospital's records and analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and ANOVA.

Cryptococcosis in Southern China: Insights from a Six-Year Retrospective Study in Eastern Guangdong.

Objective: Cryptococcosis is a fatal infection that can affect both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients, and it is little understood in China's various regions. This research aimed to look at the epidemiology, risk factors, and antifungal susceptibility pattern of in eastern Guangdong, China.

Methods: A six-year (2016-2022) retrospective study was conducted at Meizhou People's Hospital, China.

Six-Year Retrospective Analysis of Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Antifungal Susceptibilities of Candidiasis from a Tertiary Care Hospital in South China.

Candidiasis is a life-threatening disease that increases mortality in critically ill patients. However, such epidemiological data are still lacking in underdeveloped regions of China. A retrospective analysis (2016 to 2021) was conducted in Meizhou People's Hospital, China to study the burden of candidiasis, particularly candidemia, and antifungal susceptibilities of the species among hospitalized patients.

Impact of Video Technology on the Comprehension of Patients With First Insulin Injection and the Efficiency of Nurse Education.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of video and paper materials used for teach-back education on the first insulin injection for patients with diabetes. The study enrolled 110 patients hospitalized for diabetes who had received education on their first insulin injection in the endocrinology department. The patients were divided into an intervention group ( = 55) and a control group ( = 55) using convenience sampling.

Terbinafine Hydrochloride Combined With Itraconazole for Fungal Skin Diseases: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Terbinafine and itraconazole are the common antifungal drugs in clinic. In vitro experiments proved that terbinafine combined with itraconazole achieves better antifungal effects. However, clinical study addressing this issue was still scarce.
