IMB chemists led by Organic Materials scientist James Hendrick have teamed up with researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore to create new nanofibers that attack drug-resistant fungal cells, while leaving healthy ones alone.
The nanotechnology is made from recycled plastic that the scientists were able turn into new molecules by using an organic catalyst. “The ability of these molecules to self-assemble into nanofibers is important because unlike discrete molecules, fibers increase the local concentration of cationic charges and compound mass,” said Yi Yan Yang, one of the project’s head researchers.
If you are suffering from fungal toenails you should seek the care of a podiatrist such as Dr. Mayer Salama of Salama Foot Care. Dr. Salama can diagnose your problem as well as provide you with treatment options.
Toenail Fungus Treatment
Toenail fungus is a problem which affects many people and is hard to get rid of. Fortunately, there are several methods to go about treating toenail fungus.
Antibiotics & Treatments
Lamisil – is the most commonly effective treatment for toenail fungus. It is available as an antibiotic Terbinafine tablet and cream. Terbinafine is a chemical component which kills fungal growth on the body. Applying regular doses will gradually kill the fungal growth. It is important to keep the area clean and air free.
Sandals or open toed shoes – wearing these will allow air movement and help keep feet dry. They also expose your feet to light, which fungus cannot tolerate. Socks with moisture wicking material also help as well
Alternative Treatments
Those who are skeptical or unsure of using Lamisil containing terbinafine may consider the following:
Alcohol, tea tree oil, hydrogen peroxide, or Vicks VapoRub will help as well.
There are always surgical procedures that are available for toenail fungus. Some people would like immediate quick removal of toenail fungus. Surgeons will be able to cut through and remove the growth using laser surgery. It is important not to try and remove it yourself. Once removed, your old shoes will need to be replaced to avoid reinfection.
