Introduction: Coccidioidal meningitis (CM) is the most lethal form of disseminated coccidioidomycosis.Current guidelines recommend fluconazole as initial therapy but there has been a paucity of data regarding failure of fluconazole and optimal fluconazole dosage in the treatment of CM.We conducted this study to understand risk factors for fluconazo
During the course of their ontogenesis, plants are continuously exposed to a large variety of abiotic att nighthawk hotspot stress factors which can damage tissues and jeopardize the survival of the organism unless properly countered.While animals can simply escape and thus evade stressors, plants as sessile organisms have developed complex strateg
Corruption often involves bribery, when a briber suborns a power-holder to gain advantages usually at a cost of moral transgression.Despite its wide presence in human societies, the neurocomputational basis of bribery remains elusive.Here, using model-based fMRI, we investigated the neural substrates of how a power-holder decides to accept or rejec
Plasmonic nanostructures, particularly of noble-metal Au and Ag, have attracted long-lasting research interests because of their intriguing physical and chemical properties.Under light excitation, their conduction operation igloo white electrons can form collective oscillation with the electromagnetic fields at particular wavelength, leading to loc
