Formulation of functional noodles by adding Lentinus edodes mushroom powder: Physiochemical attributes, cellular mineral uptake and improved glycemic index

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a healthier version of noodles by adding shiitake mushroom powder at 4% concentration. These mushroom noodles had better nutritional content with more protein and minerals like iron and calcium that the body could actually absorb. Most importantly, the mushroom noodles caused a slower, more gradual rise in blood sugar compared to regular noodles, making them potentially beneficial for people managing diabetes.

Acute fungal endometritis in women with abnormal uterine bleeding: Clinical and microbiological insights

mycolabadmin

Women with persistent abnormal uterine bleeding often undergo extensive testing without finding a cause. This study discovered that fungal infections, caused by Candida species, may be responsible for about 12% of such cases. The researchers found that direct sampling of the uterine lining is essential for diagnosis since surface vaginal cultures miss these infections. Treatment with an antifungal medication called voriconazole combined with surgical cleaning of the uterus proved effective in resolving the condition.

Acute fungal endometritis in women with abnormal uterine bleeding: Clinical and microbiological insights

mycolabadmin

This study examined a rare fungal infection of the uterus called fungal endometritis that causes abnormal bleeding and discomfort in women. Researchers found that about 12% of women with unexplained abnormal bleeding had this fungal infection, which was caused by different species of Candida yeast. A simple test using vaginal swabs was not effective for diagnosis; instead, doctors needed to take samples directly from the uterine lining. Treatment with an antifungal medication called voriconazole combined with surgical cleaning was successful in all cases studied.
