Background: Infections with fluconazole-resistant Candida parapsilosis have been increasing in Israeli hospitals with unclear implications for patient outcomes.
Objectives: To determine the frequency, mechanisms, molecular epidemiology, and outcomes of azole-resistant C. parapsilosis bloodstream infections in four hospitals in Israel.
Article Synopsis
- Dystonia is a common movement disorder with a complex genetic background, showing significant variability in its clinical presentation and genetics.
- The study involved exome sequencing of nearly 1,924 patients, mainly from two major registries, focusing on those with genetic prescreening negative results and early age at onset.
- Researchers discovered 137 likely pathogenic variants in 51 genes among the patients, with many being novel, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing and understanding the disorder's genetic links.
Article Synopsis
- Vibrational Raman scattering involves energy exchange between light and molecular vibrations, notably described in quantum terms where both are quantized.
- When these vibrations occur within a plasmonic nanocavity, as seen in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the setup acts as an optomechanical cavity that enhances light-vibration interactions, leading to potential advancements in vibrational state manipulation and nonlinear optics at the nanoscale.
- This Perspective aims to bridge the concepts of molecular cavity optomechanics (McOM) and traditional methods, summarizing current progress and challenges while emphasizing parameters crucial for enhancing light-matter interactions in the context of SERS and nanoplasmonics.
