Aviator Xpro EC 225 is a new fungicide for use in cereals, containing the active substance bixafen and already approved prothioconazole. Prothioconazole was assessed by Norwegian Scientific Committee Food Safety 2006, therefore not included this report.
 VKM requested Authority to consider possible health risk operators related properties of used 225; particular evaluate relevance effects ...

We present 24 μm photometry of the intermediate-age open cluster Praesepe. We assemble a catalog of 193 probable cluster members that are detected in optical databases, the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and at 24 μm, within an area of ∼ 2.47 square degrees. Mid-IR excesses indicating debris disks are found for one early-type and for three solar-type stars. Corrections for sampling statisti...

Fluconazole in vitro susceptibility test results for 256,882 isolates of Candida spp. were collected from 142 sites in 41 countries from June 1997 to December 2007. Data were collected for 197,619 isolates tested with voriconazole from 2001 to 2007. A total of 31 different species of Candida were isolated. Increased rates of isolation of the common non-albicans species C. glabrata (10.2% to 11....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A simplified antifungal disk diffusion test using Mueller-Hinton agar containing 2% glucose and methylene blue 5 microg/mL (GM-MH, Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute [CLSI] M44-A) has proved to correlate well with the standard reference test. A new azole, voriconazole, has recently been approved for clinical therapy in Taiwan. This study investigated the reliabil...

This numerical study provides the first simulation of the anthropogenic tritium invasion and its decay product helium-3 (He) in the Mediterranean Sea. The simulation covers the entire tritium (H) transient generated by the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests performed in the 1950s and early 1960s and is run till 2011. Tritium, helium-3 and their derived age estimates are particularly suitable for...

background and purpose: oropharyngeal candidiasis (opc) and antifungal drug resistance are major health concerns in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). the increased reports of antifungal resistance and expanding drug therapy options prompted the determination of antifungal susceptibility profile. the present study was performed to determine the antifungal susceptibility of candid...

Objective: Invasive fungal infections caused by Candida species have increased significantly. Candidemia is not only associated with a mortality, but also extends the duration of hospital stay and increases the cost for medical care. Although, the clinical presentations of the patients with candidemia caused by Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida species are indistinguishable, the suscept...
