The objective of this study is to analyze the detection rate, the pathogenic fungus distribution, risk factors and drug sensitivity of fungal infection of external auditory canal in patients diagnosed with chronic otitis media. The data of a total of 419 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media or middle ear cholesteatoma who were admitted from January 2019 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 419 patients were included, and 71 patients(16.

Riverbank filtration (RBF) is an effective pretreatment technology for drinking water, removing organic micropollutants (OMPs) mainly through biodegradation. Despite documented improvements in OMP removal with extended adaptation time, the mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study assessed the removal of 128 OMPs over 82 d in a simulated RBF system, identified those with improved removal, and analyzed their properties.

Background: Itraconazole is the treatment of choice for many fungal infections, including histoplasmosis. While the tolerability of itraconazole has been described in short-term trial settings, there are few studies on side effects during long-term therapy. Fluconazole, which is usually thought to be less toxic, is associated with 52% toxicity in long-term treatment.

Purpose: Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (RVVC) is a problematic clinical condition for which fluconazole treatment is commonly prescribed. This study investigated the interkingdom vaginal and gastrointestinal microbiomes of RVVC patients who use fluconazole intermittently or as longer-term maintenance therapy for symptom management and compared them to healthy controls.
Methods: Vaginal swabs and fecal samples were collected.

Due to the increase in the number of drug-resistant strains, new antifungal compounds with limited potential for the development of resistance are urgently needed. NFAP2, an antifungal protein (AFP) secreted by () , is a promising candidate. We investigated the ability of to develop resistance to NFAP2 in a microevolution experiment compared with generic fluconazole (FLC).
