Antifungal potential of silver nanoparticles stabilized with the flavonoid naringenin.

Fungal infections caused by yeast have increased in recent decades, becoming a major threat to public health. Antifungal therapy represents a challenging problem because, in addition to presenting many side effects, fungal resistance has been increasing in recent years. As a result, the search for new therapeutic agents has advanced with the use of new technologies such as nanoparticles (NPs).

The Past, Present, and Future of Biomarkers for the Early Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers with a very poor 5-year survival rate and reduced therapeutic options when diagnosed in an advanced stage. The dismal prognosis of pancreatic cancer has guided significant efforts to discover novel biomarkers in order to anticipate diagnosis, increasing the population of patients who can benefit from curative surgical treatment. CA 19-9 is the reference biomarker that supports the diagnosis and guides the response to treatments.

Pediatric Intracochlear Schwannoma: Case Series and Review of the Literature.

Background: Intracochlear schwannomas (ICSs) are a subtype of intralabyrinthine schwannomas, completely located in the cochlear lumen. ICSs are particularly rare in the pediatric population. Putative diagnosis is made on the basis of magnetic resonance findings with signal characteristics that should remain the same at follow-up imaging.

Synergistic potential of Bauhinia holophylla leaf extracts with conventional antifungals in the inhibition of Candida albicans: A new approach for the treatment of oral candidiasis.

Objective: This study investigated the combination of Bauhinia holophylla (Bong.) Steud. leaf extracts with conventional antifungal agents, highlighting the extracts' potential as adjuvants in treating oral candidiasis.
