Article Synopsis
- The study investigated resistance and virulence markers in fungal strains isolated from community-acquired infections in Bucharest outpatient cases during 2021.
- Among 62 strains analyzed, notable percentages showed different virulence markers and enzyme production, with some strains exhibiting varying adherence to HeLa cells.
- Alternative solutions based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) demonstrated effectiveness in inhibiting microbial growth and virulence factor production, highlighting the need for epidemiological monitoring.
Multiple myeloma is a hematologic neoplasm caused by abnormal proliferation of plasma cells. Sequencing studies suggest that plasma cell disorders are caused by both cytogenetic abnormalities and oncogene mutations. Therefore, it is necessary to detect molecular abnormalities to improve the diagnosis and management of MM.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are diseases caused by the interaction of genetic and non-genetic factors. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the association between six common genetic polymorphisms and T2DM and MetS in males. A total of 120 T2DM, 75 MetS, and 120 healthy controls (HC) were included in the study.
