Analysis of molecular resistance to azole and echinocandin in species in patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Background And Purpose: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is considered the most common mucosal infection caused by species. Azoles were considered the first-line treatment for VVC or recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) in both healthy and immunocompromised populations. Recently, azole-resistant isolates, especially among non- samples have been encountered.

The effect of female sex hormones on Hsp27 phosphorylation and histological changes in prefrontal cortex after tMCAO.

Background: Female sex hormones are protective factors against many neurological disorders such as brain ischemia. Heat shock protein like HSP27 is activated after tissue injury. The main purpose of the present study is to determine the effect of a combined estrogen / progesterone cocktail on the morphology of astrocytes, neurons and Hsp27 phosphorylation after cerebral ischemia.

Teaching Skill Acquisition and Development in Dental Education.

Development of dental faculty members is paramount to providing outstanding education and role modeling for students. With the large number of second career educators in dental schools, an efficient method of acquiring teaching skills is important for new faculty members. Knowing the skill progression and learning experiences identified by dental educators of varying rank may lead to more efficient, effective faculty development.
