The enhanced thermal efficiency exhibited by Casson nanofluids offers significant practical applications across various industrial and engineering sectors. This study focuses on the mathematical investigation of the steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid through a stretched/shrinking cylinder, taking into account the effects of suction and thermal radiation. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) have been subjected to a similarity transformation, resulting in a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs).

Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar non-ketotic syndrome (HHNS) is a life-threatening complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus with a wide range of presenting symptoms. Neurological symptoms, such as coma, can also be part of the manifestation of HHNS; however, focal seizures remain a rare but notable association.  A 85-year-old male patient with no history of diabetes presented to our emergency department complaining of a two-day history of twitching movements of his left wrist.

BACKGROUND Mucormycosis is a serious, potentially fatal fungal infection caused by species in the Mucorales order. Together with candidiasis and aspergillosis, it is one of the most significant fungal infection that carries a high rate of mortality. Early detection and initiation of antifungal therapy with adequate surgical debridement improves the clinical outcome.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has recently been used as an ingredient in probiotic supplements. Invasive Saccharomyces infection have been documented, and multiple predisposing risk factors have been identified including critical illness, ICU admission, antibiotics use, central venous catheters, probiotics use, and immunosuppression. We report a case of a 74-year-old man admitted for acute cholangitis taking a probiotic supplement containing the subtype Saccharomyces boulardii.
