Biomarker-guided antifungal stewardship policies for patients with invasive candidiasis
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are among the life-threatening issues in patients with impaired immune system. High administration of antifungals in these patients imposes a heavy economic burden on the national health system. In addition, despite the usually expensive antifungal regimens, the mortality rate due to fungal infections is still high, resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives pe...
متن کاملAntifungal azoles: old and new.
Management of fungal infections is complex with increasing choice of antifungals. Mortality and morbidity are significant despite treatment. Azoles are commonly used compounds which inhibit fungal lanosterol 14 demethylase, thereby depleting ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane with the accumulation of lanosterol precursors. Imidazoles (miconazole, ketoconazole, clotrimazole) are used in topi...
متن کاملStopping Criteria for SVMs
The support vector machine has been shown to be comparable to the state of the art for classification. In certain situations however, the convergence to a global optimum of the optimization problem can be very slow. It is shown that solutions suboptimal in terms of the optimization problem can still have very good performance. By using a heuristic stopping criterion (termed HERMES) these soluti...
متن کاملDefining safe criteria to diagnose miscarriage: prospective observational multicentre study
OBJECTIVES To validate recent guidance changes by establishing the performance of cut-off values for embryo crown-rump length and mean gestational sac diameter to diagnose miscarriage with high levels of certainty. Secondary aims were to examine the influence of gestational age on interpretation of mean gestational sac diameter and crown-rump length values, determine the optimal intervals betwe...
متن کاملAntifungal azoles – new antidote for chronic pelvic pain?
Cent Eur J Urol 2013; 66: 200-201 DOI: 10.5173/ceju.2013.02.art22 Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a poorly–defined condition or a group of conditions in which chronic pain in the genital area and pain during prostate palpation are the two most common features. Causative treatment is rarely available since in most cases the etiology in unknown. Paradoxically, long–t...
