Biomarker Insights: Evaluation of Presepsin, Apelin, and Irisin Levels in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis.

: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a skin disease caused by parasites. Presepsin, irisin, and apelin are biomarkers that are involved in the inflammatory response. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum levels of specific biomarkers, such as presepsin, apelin, and irisin, and the clinical features, location, number, and size of lesions in patients with CL.

Investigation of new inflammatory biomarkers in patients with brucella.

Background: Delayed diagnosis and inadequate treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases, such as Brucella, lead to high rates of mortality and morbidity. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between serum levels of apelin, presepsin, and irisin with inflammation, laboratory parameters, and blood culture in patients with brucella.

Patients And Methods: This prospective case-control study involves 30 patients with brucellosis and 30 healthy, matched control subjects.

Serum Adropin Level in the Early Period of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Its Relationship With Cobalamin and Folic Acid.

Background: Studies on biomarkers in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction are ongoing. Adropin is a biomarker that has been studied and has been shown to have different effects. This study aimed to examine the adropin level of patients with myocardial infarction within the first 24 hours, as well as its relationship with cobalamin and folic acid.
