is one of the main causes of invasive candidiasis. Rapid identification of antifungal resistance is crucial for selection of an appropriate antifungal to improve patient outcomes. Mutations at specific loci are strongly correlated with resistance to antifungal agents.

- A study investigated the effects of a 12-week program that combined square dancing with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in middle-aged women.
- The intervention group showed significant improvements in SUI symptoms, quality of life, and treatment adherence compared to the control groups, which either received standard health advice or square dancing alone.
- The enjoyable and social aspect of square dancing likely helped maintain motivation and satisfaction, even amidst COVID-19 restrictions.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of rezafungin, a new antifungal, against various invasive fungal isolates and compares it to existing echinocandins, anidulafungin and caspofungin.
- A total of 1,150 clinical isolates were tested, showing that echinocandins, including rezafungin, maintain strong activity against fluconazole-resistant strains.
- Sequencing revealed mutations linked to echinocandin resistance, and rezafungin demonstrated comparable efficacy and even higher susceptibility rates, suggesting its potential for clinical use.
Abiotic stresses such as salinity and low temperature have serious impact on peanut growth and yield. The present work investigated the function of a MYB-related transcription factor gene obtained from peanut under salt and low temperature stresses by transgenic methods. The results indicated that the overexpression of in could enhance the resistance of transgenic plants to freezing and salt stresses.

Ultraviolet visible (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) characterizations indicate that the synthetic quality, redox capacity, and visible light harvesting efficiency of TBADT, especially the separation efficiency of its photogenerated electron-hole pairs, are regulated by the metal ion dopants and gradually improved with a change of the dopant from Fe, Fe, and Co to Ni, along with a continuous and significant enhancement of its photocatalytic efficiency in the visible-light-triggered selective oxidation of ethylbenzene with dioxygens in acetonitrile.
