We describe a case of pacemaker endocarditis due to Candida albicans in a patient who
responded favorably to combined surgical and antifungal therapy. Only five cases of candidal …

Long-ranged forces between surfaces in a liquid control effects from colloid stability 1 to
biolubrication 2 , and can be modified either by steric factors due to flexible polymers 3 , or by …

A novel class of homogeneous nickel(II) catalysts, ie [Ni{o,o‘(CH 2 NMe 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 }Br],
denoted as Ni(NCN‘)Br, is reported to mediate in the presence of activated alkyl halides, eg, …

Callose deposition in Arabidopsis has emerged as a popular model system to quantify
activity of plant immunity. However, there has been a noticeable rise in contradicting reports …

(Nano)composites of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) were prepared by melt blending the
polymer with natural Na + montmorillonite and montmorillonite modified by hydrogenated …

Bioactive and bioresorbable composite materials were fabricated using macroporous poly(dl-lactide)
(PDLLA) foams coated with and impregnated by bioactive glass (Bioglass ® ) …

Background Treatment outcomes for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis remain poor. We aimed
to estimate the association of treatment success and death with the use of individual drugs, …

A new type of macromolecular architecture, denoted as dendrimer-like star block copolymers,
is reported. These block copolymers are described by a radial geometry where the …

Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) techniques offer the opportunity to properly design
polymer chains and adjust their chemical and physical properties. Among these techniques, …

Highly porous composites scaffolds of poly-d,l-lactide (PDLLA) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide)
(PLGA) containing different amounts (10, 25 and 50wt%) of bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass …
