Fungemia Due to Saprochaete capitata in a Non-Neutropenic Critically Ill Patient.

is an uncommon yeast species; its impact on non-neutropenic patients appears to be on the rise. We describe a case of fungemia in a critically ill end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patient on peritoneal dialysis. The patient presented with mesenteric ischemia and underwent several laparotomies during hospitalization.

Analysis of Gremlin 1 Levels Following Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: In the current study, we aimed to assess the levels of Gremlin 1, an adipokine with a rich repertoire of metabolic effects, in association with the glycemic and lipid parameters after sleeve gastrectomy.

Material And Methods: This study was conducted on 31 males with obesity aged 25 to 50 years who underwent sleeve gastrectomy. Plasma Gremlin 1 levels were evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at baseline and 6-12 months after the operation, along with body mass index, insulin, glucose, and lipid profile.
