Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the rise of fungal infections in Southeast China, focusing on the prevalence and antifungal resistance of specific species at a Shanghai hospital over four years (2018-2022).
- A total of 253 isolates were identified, with certain species being more prevalent, particularly from the Department of Infectious Disease and primarily isolated from sputum samples.
- Results indicated that non-wild-type isolates showed significant resistance to amphotericin B, while most were susceptible to triazoles, particularly posaconazole, highlighting the need for better management of fungal infections in the region.
Background: The scientific link between mastication strength and cognitive function has not yet been strongly corroborated in population studies. Utilizing large-scale claims, we aim to investigate the association between edentulism and cognitive impairment in older American adults.
Methods: Using de-identified claims from a commercial insurer from 2015-2019, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using multilevel regression models to evaluate the association between denture status and clinically diagnosed cognitive impairment.
