In the dynamic survey of 577 persons having had contacts with yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida the effectiveness of tests for the diagnosis of mycogenic sensitization was made with the use of a number of immunological methods. The basophil degranulation test was shown to have higher sensitivity and specificity in the detection of hypersensitivity to microbial strains used in the production processes of microbiological synthesis, while the use of polysaccharide antigens is more expedient in immunological reactions, such as the precipitation test with the finished product obtained by these processes and with C. albicans. Some prevalence of the level of sensitization in the presence of Candida carriership was established in persons having had contacts with these fungi.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence and demographic profile of keratoconus (KC) among high school students in Nairobi County, Kenya.
Methods: In this population-based, prospective, cross-sectional study, multistage cluster sampling was used to select the participants. All students underwent visual acuity measurement, auto-refraction, retinoscopy and corneal topography.

Parent-child relationship quality has critical implications for parental emotional well-being across the lifespan. The present study assessed how relationship quality is related to daily encounters between parents and children, how those encounters are linked with parents' mood, and how these associations vary by age. Participants (N = 129, ages 33-91) reported baseline relationship quality with a total of 337 children (ages 1-69).

The development of safe, environmentally friendly, edible antimicrobial packaging films represents a promising alternative to conventional plastic packaging for reducing spoilage and extending the shelf life of fresh food. Here, we propose a novel strategy to construct edible β-CD-MOF/carvacrol@zein (BCCZ) composite films by intertwining β-CD-MOF loaded with the antimicrobial essential oil carvacrol, and zein. The resulting BCCZ films exhibit high humidity-triggered, long-lasting bactericidal efficacy, effective fruit preservation, and excellent biosafety.

Purpose: The prevalence of sedentary lifestyles (SL), which includes both high volumes of extended sitting behavior and a low volume of steps accumulated across the day, among older adults continues to rise contributing to increases in associated comorbidities and the loss of independence. The social, personal, and economic burdens are enormous. In recognition of the health implications of SL, current public health physical activity guidelines now emphasize the complimentary goals of sitting less by moving more.

Cellulose is a renewable biodegradable polymer derived from abundant natural resources. Substituting petroleum-based polymers with cellulose-based bioplastics is an effective way to alleviate environmental issues like resource depletion and white pollution. However, challenges such as poor thermostability, hard to thermoform and water sensitivity seriously hinder the fabrication and use of cellulose-based bioplastics.
