The incidence of invasive candidiasis in hospitalized infants is related to postnatal exposures, but large-scale studies relating the incidence of invasive candidiasis to changes in exposures over time are not available.

This study describes the association between the incidence of invasive candidiasis and changes in use of antifungal prophylaxis, empirical antifungal therapy, and broad-spectrum antibacterial antibiotics over time. (Read the full article)

Probiotics might provide an alternative approach for the control of oral candidiasis. However, studies on the antifungal activity of probiotics in the oral cavity are based on the consumption of yogurt or other dietary products, and there is a necessary to use appropriate biomaterials and specific strains to obtain probiotic formulations targeting local oral administration. In this study, we impregnated gellan gum, a natural biopolymer used as a food-additive, with a probiotic and investigated its antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Lactobacillus paracasei 28.4, a strain recently isolated from the oral cavity of a caries-free individual, was incorporated in several concentrations of gellan gum (0.6% to 1%). All tested concentrations could incorporate L. paracasei cells while maintaining bacterial viability. Probiotic/gellan formulations were stable for 7 days when stored at room temperature or 4°C. Long-term storage of bacteria-impregnated gellan gum was achieved when L. paracasei 28.4 was lyophilized. The probiotic/gellan formulations provided a release of L. paracasei cells over 24 hours that was sufficient to inhibit the growth of C. albicans with effects dependent on the cell concentrations incorporated into gellan gum. The probiotic/gellan formulations also had inhibitory activity against Candida spp. biofilms by reducing the number of Candida spp. cells (p < 0.0001), decreasing the total biomass (p = 0.0003), and impairing hyphae formation (p = 0.0002), compared to the control group which received no treatment. Interestingly, probiotic formulation of 1% w/v gellan gum provided an oral colonization of L. paracasei in mice with approximately 6 log of CFU/mL after 10 days. This formulation inhibited the C. albicans growth (p < 0.0001), prevented the development of candidiasis lesions (p = 0.0013), and suppressed inflammation (p = 0.0006) when compared to the mice not treated in the microscopic analysis of the tongue dorsum. These results indicate that gellan gum is a promising biomaterial and can be used as a carrier system to promote oral colonization for probiotics that prevent oral candidiasis.

New Chelsea signing Hakim Ziyech says he wants to hit the same heights as Didier Drogba when he completes his move from Ajax.

Roughly 60% to 70% of Didi Chuxing's business has bounced back from the coronavirus crisis in China, says Jean Liu, president of the mobile app-based transportation firm.

Didi Chuxing is now "even more confident and more committed" to the idea of entering global markets in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, says Jean Liu, president of the mobile app-based transportation firm.

It is hard to imagine how a single sweet — that otherwise holds hereditary, nostalgic and gastronomical relevance for many — keeps reappearing as a bone of contention between members of the civil society. It was only in March that the tussle between West Bengal and Odisha saw a new facet, with the latter challenging the Geographical Indications’s grant to ‘Banglar Rosogolla’ in November 2017, which stated that the juicy and soul-stirring treat was, in fact, from Bengal.

Now, this guilty pleasure is back in the news, and it reappears as West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s ammo. While campaigning in Raniganj and responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Didi claimed Bengal would be gifting him rosogollas made of clay and filled with gravel instead of votes. And while the two leaders made national headlines engaging in a rather infantile, albeit funny, donnybrook, we kept dreaming about the dessert. If you’re looking for a sweet escape from this political circus, here are few places to hide.

Sweeter than roses

Something that is meant to make people happy is now being used as a weapon in a war of words. It is a rather sad state of affairs," laments chef Jerson Fernandes. At this Juhu eatery, the gulabi rosogolla (R399) gets its name from the rose-scented syrup it’s dipped in. "The trick to making perfect rosogollas is kneading the dough well. We soak the chena dumplings in a rose-water sugar syrup, instead of the regular kind. It also happens to be very popular among patrons," Fernandes shares.

Taste of Bengal

At Sweet Bengal, you can choose from plain rosogolla (R20), special rosogolla (R23) and kesari rajbhog (R25), as well as seasonal versions like mango and jaggery. Manager Chanchal Chakraborty tells us, "We source milk from Bengal to esnure authenticity, and the aim is to arrive at perfectly spongy rosogollas." He adds that they sell 2,500 pieces of the treat in total across the city.

Café rosogulla

Staying true to their core principles, this restaurant is serving the traditional Bengali sweet with a zany twist. Speaking about the coffee rosogulla (R425), chef Thomas Zacharias says, "Why restrict rosogulla to its sickly sweet sugar syrup and not infuse it with another flavour? We soak the rosogolla in dark espresso and serve it with salted caramel ice cream and a homemade peanut brittle for crunch."

Treat from the past

Opened in 1971, Sandesh Bengali Sweets would originally serve samosa, jalebi and lassi. Then, sometime in the ’80s, the demand for Bengali sweets rose among Mumbaikars and the establishment introduced a range of sandesh and mishti over the years, but the offering began with rosogollas. "Uss time pe Bengali sweet ka ek hi matlab tha — rosogolla [R16]," shares second-generation owner Chandan Singh, adding, "Now, it has become so popular we sell close to 800 pieces a day."

Only serve it sweet
Around since the 1940s, Brijwasi Sweets’ Goregaon East outlet specialises in Bengali treats. Owner Anurag Agrawal tells us, when his forefathers introduced Mumbaikars to rosogollas in the ’50s, very few knew about the dessert. Today, it is one of their top-selling items. They serve rosogolla (R13 to R26) as well as rajbhog (R35), which is bigger and has an oozy centre. Asked to comment on the debacle between Didi and NaMo, Agrawal said, "I wouldn’t like to get into politics; all I know is that rosogollas should only be served sweet."

Didier Digard joined Middlesbrough from Paris Saint-Germain in 2008, but after two years at the Riverside he moved back to Nice on an initial loan before the move was made permanent.

The 25-year-old defender was last summoned for international duty in 2017 but is yet to be handed his first cap. Laporte had been regularly capped for France's international youth sides.

France manager Didier Deschamps has praised young midfielder Matteo Guendouzi but has warned against expecting too much of the talented youngster.

The Real Madrid striker has not featured for France since back in 2015, with Deschamps choosing to axe him from the squad following the controversy with compatriot Mathieu Valbuena.

Giroud came off the bench in France's Euro 2020 qualifier against Turkey and scored within four minutes, but his header was cancelled out by Kaan Ayhan in a 1-1 draw.

Kante will miss Chelsea's clash with Newcastle due to a groin problem as his injury issues continue, having also been sidelined this season due to knee, ankle and hamstring problems.

Kante has endured a frustrating start to the season as he has been restricted to just six appearances in all competitions for Chelsea after suffering an ankle injury.

Giroud has played 211 minutes for Chelsea this season, with Tammy Abraham first-choice. But, ahead of their Euro 2020 qualifiers with Moldova, Deschamps says he has full faith in the player.

France boss Didier Deschamps denied that his team's lacklustre display in the 2-1 victory over Moldova was down to Les Blues having already qualified for Euro 2020.

Didier Deschamps will therefore get the chance to oversee France's attempt at defending their World Cup crown in three years' time after they beat Croatia 4-2 in the final in Russia last year.

Didier Deschamps has urged Olivier Giroud to leave Chelsea to secure a spot in France's Euro 2020 squad. Giroud started up-front as Deschamps guided France to World Cup glory in 2018.

Olivier Giroud remains an important part of Didier Deschamps' plans for France ahead of the Euros later this year, but has admitted his lack of current playing time at Chelsea is of huge concern.

The visitors went behind in the seventh minute after Wilfried Ndidi dawdled on the ball, allowing Chelsea youngster Mason Mount to nip in, steal it and finish past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

The Nigeria international has been a key man for Leicester this term but Brendan Rodgers revealed before the clash with Aston Villa that Wilfred Ndidi had been injured in training on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old has been a key player in the Foxes remarkable season, as they sit in third place ahead of Saturday's game against fourth-placed Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has refused to put a time limit on Wilfred Ndidi's recovery from injury. Ndidi has missed the Foxes' last two matches and will not feature on Saturday.

The Chelsea striker tucked home in the 66th minute of the Group H clash in Reykjavik after Antoine Griezmann had been kicked by Ari Skulason.

DiDi - which is already available in Melbourne, Geelong, Newcastle, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Perth -announced it would launch in Sydney on March 16.

The midfielder has been an important part of a Foxes side that before the coronavirus outbreak were sitting third in the Premier League table and heading towards a return to the Champions League.
