1. Rare Presentations of Frontal Sinus Fungus Ball: A Systematic Review
Abstract Introduction The sinus fungus ball is an agglomeration of debris and hyphae, mainly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, within the paranasal sinus, commonly affecting a single sinus, and it only rarely affects the frontal sinus. Objective To identify the state of the art of fungus ball in paranasal sinuses, especially related to the epidemiology of t

2. Antagonistic endophytic bacteria associated with nodules of soybean (Glycine max L.) and plant growth-promoting properties
Abstract A total of 276 endophytic bacteria were isolated from the root nodules of soybean (Glycine max L.) grown in 14 sites in Henan Province, China. The inhibitory activity of these bacteria against pathogenic fungus Phytophthora sojae 01 was screened in vitro. Six strains with more than 63% inhibitory activities were further characterized through optical

3. Estudo etiológico, clínico, laboratorial e epidemiológico da bola fúngica pulmonar por Aspergillus spp / Etiological, clinical, laboratory and epidemiologic study of fungus ball by Aspergillus spp
Descrição: Bola fúngica é definida como uma macrocolônia composta por emaranhado de hifas, células inflamatórias, fibrina, muco e fragmentos de tecidos. Aspergillus fumigatus é o agente etiológico mais frequente, responsável por cerca de 90% dos casos, seguido de A niger e A flavus, respectivamente. O antecedente mais comum para o desenvolvimento d

4. Fungus ball in HIV-infected patients
Aspergillus is a phagocyte opportunistic fungus that causes aspergillosis, an unusual disease in patients with AIDS. Six cases of fungal ball in patients with AIDS are reported here. In this group, all patients had hemoptysis and tuberculosis as the underlying lung disease. The diagnosis of pulmonary fungus ball was based on the clinical and radiographic fea

5. Respiratory tract intracavitary colonization due to scedosporium apiospermum: report of four cases / Colonização intracavitária do trato respiratório por Scedosporium apiospermum: relato de quatro casos
São relatados quatro casos de colonização intracavitária (bola fúngica) do trato respiratório por Scedosporium apiospermum (teleomorfo, Pseudallescheria boydii). É enfatizada a necessidade de cuidadosa busca de aneloconídios, a fim de estabelecer o diagnóstico etiológico no espécime clínico, através da microscopia.

6. Coexistência de colonização fúngica intracavitária (bola fúngica) e tuberculose ativa / Coexistence of intracavitary fungal colonization (fungus ball) and active tuberculosis
Introdução: Embora a tuberculose pulmonar seja o principal fator predisponente para o surgimento de colonização fúngica em cavidade saneada, a coexistência das duas doenças é rara. A simultaneidade de colonização fúngica e micobacteriose ativa na mesma cavidade (bacilos álcool-ácido resistentes entre as massas de hifas) é excepcional. Objetivo:

7. Tecnologia do Pó de Turmalina Preta
The black tourmaline powder of shorlite-dravite series, NaFe3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3OH, has been used in agricultures and in the production of cosmetics, paints, tissues, water and air purifiers. The pyroelectricity and the emission of far infrared radiation of tourmaline are the main properties explored by most products. The black tourmaline shows significan

8. Common bile duct obstruction secondary to infection with Candida.
A patient is reported who had biliary tract obstruction secondary to infection of the common bile duct with Candida albicans, with the formation of a fungus ball. Treatment consisted of surgical removal of the fungus ball and drainage. Chemotherapy was not necessary. Ureteral obstruction through fungus ball formation, and even pulmonary fungus ball formation

9. Maxillary sinusitis caused by Pleurophomopsis lignicola.
An immunocompetent 59-year-old man developed sinusitis over a 6- to 8-month period after cutting down a rotted maple tree (Acer sp.). A polypoid obstruction with a bloody drainage was evident in his right nasal cavity. A computed tomographic scan showed an opacification of the maxillary sinus. Surgery was performed to remove a fungus ball that had extended i

10. Pulmonary Colonization by Chrysosporium zonatum Associated with Allergic Inflammation in an Immunocompetent Subject
We report a case of noninvasive pulmonary disease due to Chrysosporium zonatum in an immunocompetent male. The fungus colonized an existing tuberculous cavity and was isolated from transbronchial lavage fluid and from a percutaneous aspiration specimen. The disease was accompanied by the unusual feature of an allergic reaction. The fungus ball was successful

11. Apparent pulmonary mycetoma following invasive aspergillosis in neutropenic patients.
After the death from massive haemoptysis of two neutropenic patients who had developed apparent pulmonary mycetomas, two subsequent patients underwent successful resection of similar lesions. Histological examination of these lesions confirmed that these so called mycetomas were masses of devitalized lung tissue infiltrated with fungus. The term mycotic lung

12. Correlation between the Elastase Activity Index and Invasiveness of Clinical Isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus
We calculated an elastase activity index (EAI) by dividing the diameter of the elastin lysis halo by the fungal growth diameter. After 10 days' incubation at 37°C, all strains but one obtained from invasive aspergillosis showed an EAI ≥ 1. Of the 18 strains obtained from colonized patients, only 4 (22.2%) had an EAI ≥ 1, whereas neither of the strains i
