Panel of known genetic mutations (SPINK1, PRSS1, PRSS2, CTRC, and CFTR) in patients with Fibrocalcific pancreatic diabetes (FCPD)compared to Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) and healthy controls with emphasis on SPINK1 (N34S) mutations. Whole blood samples were used to detect mutations by PCR followed by Sanger sequencing. In-silico analysis of N34S performed, to explore role in pathogenesis.

They offer natural solutions for managing post-prandial glycemia and its long-term consequences. Therefore, understanding the composition and inherent dynamics of the functional food matrix (FM) is crucial.

- COVID-19 patients are at a higher risk for fungal infections, prompting a study to identify fungal pathogens in both COVID positive and negative patients, as well as assess their antifungal resistance and biofilm formation abilities.
- The study found a 6.70% prevalence of fungal pathogens in COVID-positive cases and 22.77% in negative cases, with Candida albicans being the most common pathogen identified.
- Results indicated that most Candida species were susceptible to miconazole but resistant to ketoconazole, highlighting the need for increased awareness and antifungal susceptibility testing in clinical settings.
