[Mycoses].

Medical mycology as part of medical microbiology is advancing rapidly. Effective therapeutic strategies are already available in chemotherapy and are being further developed. Their application requires reliable laboratory diagnostic techniques, which, in turn, result from mycological basic research. Opportunistic mycoses vary greatly in their clinical and pathological symptoms, because the unde...

Systemic Mycoses

I was particularly hopeful that a more illuminating discussion of the application of lasers to medicine would be given in Chapter 6. The topics involved are: Eye Surgery (primarily welding of detached retinas), Lasers in Dentistry, and Lasers and Skin (treatment of skin cancers). There are also brief sections on "Protecting the Eye" and use of lasers in "Medical and Biological Research." Here a...

Occupational mycoses.

Moulds exist widely in nature and because of their ability to catabolise or synthesise certain complex organic substances some are used in industries such as food, brewing, and drug manufacture as raw material or catalysts. In addition, some pathogenic moulds may live and reproduce in fur, straws, wood, grain, and dusts. In recent years there has been a real increase in the number of patients s...
