Background/Objectives: Intestinal dysbiosis and systemic inflammation are involved in the pathophysiology of obesity its complications. Presepsin is a recently discovered marker, being soluble form bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor. Due to imbalance gut flora subsequent disruption intestinal barrier, circulating LPS levels have been found be elevated patients with metabolic diseases, even absence infection. However, date, no studies evaluated whether associated presepsin levels....
Abstract Background Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a recently described respiratory tract virus with significant morbidity among children of younger age. The widespread molecular diagnostic testing has identified hMPV as an important pathogen the upper and lower even in adults, especially older immunosuppressed. aim this study was to identify patients hospitalized infection describe their characteristics. Methods Rhinopharyngeal samples admitted years 2021-22, 2022-23 2023-24 from October...
Systemic inflammation has been recognized as the cause and consequence of metabolic dysregulation in diabetes mellitus (DM). Presepsin recently emerged a promising biomarker for detection bacterial infections sepsis. There is evidence that gut dysbiosis results increased circulating concentrations Gram-negative bacteria lipopolysaccharide, linkage presepsin, which turn promotes insulin resistance correlates with risk diabetic complications. Thus, we hypothesized presepsin could reflect...
Borreliosis (Lyme disease) is a zoonosis, mediated to humans and small mammals through specific vectors (ticks), with increasing global incidence. It associated variety of clinical manifestations can, if not promptly recognized left untreated, lead significant disability. In Europe, the main Borrelia species causing disease in are burgdorferi s.s., afzelii, garinii, spielmanii. The Ixodes ricinus tick their principal vector. Although Lyme considered endemic Balkan region Turkey, all three...
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare and often severe complications of malignancies, significantly impacting patient prognosis quality life. They characterized by a diverse range onconeural autoantibodies, with further discoveries likely due to ongoing research. Among these, high-risk autoantibodies primarily target intracellular neural cell antigens. We present cases lung cancer patients who developed limbic encephalitis seizures at diagnosis, suggestive PNS. Each case...
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has evolved to be the most significant cause of healthcare-associated diarrhoea and one leading representatives infections, with a high associated mortality. The aim this retrospective study was record incidence rates epidemiological clinical features CDI in large tertiary hospital northern Greece years 2022-2023. All patients CDI-compatible symptomatology positive diagnostic test (GDH—glutamate dehydrogenase toxin-positive FIA—Fluorescent...
