Journal: PLoS ONE
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0008524

Figure Legend Snippet: Data in all panels represents mice treated 3 times per week for 3 weeks with anidulafungin (green bars), caspofungin (yellow bars), micafungin (blue bars) at the doses noted and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole at 50/200 mg/kg (pink bars, T/S) or untreated (red bars, C/S). Bars indicate log 10 mean cysts±standard deviation (SD) per lung. Panel A: High dose echinocandin treatment, cyst burdens. All groups were significantly different than the untreated control mice (C/S), P<0.001. Panel B: Low dose echinocandin treatment, cyst burdens. Cyst burdens were compared to untreated controls (C/S) and P values for each group are listed on the graph; (*) indicates P<0.001. Panel C: High dose echinocandin treatment, trophic burdens *P<0.001 treated vs untreated control mice (C/S). Panel D: Low dose echinocandin treatment, trophic burdens. *P<0.001 treated vs untreated control mice.
Techniques Used: Standard Deviation

Figure Legend Snippet: Percent survival for treated vs untreated mice was calculated for the 21 day treatment period using GraphPad Prism v.4. Asterisks indicate a significant difference from untreated controls (C/S). Line colors reflect the treatment and regimen as shown on the figure legend. Panel A: 10 mg/kg treatment regimen: anidulafungin: P = 0.02; caspofungin: P = 0.006; micafungin: P = 0.0006; T/S: 0.002. Panel B: 5 mg/kg treatment regimen: anidulafungin: P = 0.002; T/S: P = 0.02; Panel C: 2.5 mg/kg regimen: anidulafungin: P = 0.004; T/S: P = 0.002; Panel D: 1.0 mg/kg regimen: anidulafungin: P = 0.0049; caspofungin: P = 0.002; T/S: P = 0.002; Panel E: 0.5 mg/kg regimen: anidulafungin: P = 0.002; caspofungin:P = 0.007; T/S: P = 0.002; Panel F: 0.1 mg/kg regimen: anidulafungin: P = 0.004; T/S: P = 0.002.
Techniques Used:

Figure Legend Snippet: Grocott's methenamine silver-stained sections of lungs from: untreated mice (Panels A–C); representative sections from mice treated with 10-, 5- and 1 mg/kg caspofungin (Panels D–F;) representative sections from mice treated with 10-, 5- and 1 mg/kg micafungin (Panels G–I); and 10-, 5- and 1 mg/kg anidulafungin (Panels J–L). 1,250× magnification; 10 um bars in Panels A–C are the same for Panels D–L. Arrows indicate morphologies discussed in the text.

Journal: Critical Care
doi: 10.1186/cc7924

Figure Legend Snippet: Tornado diagram. The solid vertical line represents the total incremental lifetime costs per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for survivors using micafungin compared with fluconazole as empiric treatment of suspected intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired candidemia as calculated in the base case scenario. The horizontal bars represent the range of this difference when the corresponding single input is varied across its designated range with all other input parameters held constant. All costs inflated to 2008 $US using medical component of the consumer product index; a 3% annual discount applied. BSI = blood stream infection; C&S = culture and sensitivity; CG = Candida glabrata ; CK = Candida krusei , MYC = micafungin.
