Epidemiology and Outcomes of Candida-Associated Osteoarticular Infections: A Multicenter Retrospective Study from Turkey.

This multicentre retrospective study investigated the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and fluconazole resistance rates of Candida species in osteoarticular infections across Turkey as well as the factors influencing complete recovery. Data were gathered from 73 adult patients diagnosed with proven or probable Candida-associated osteoarticular infections between 2015 and 2025 from 20 healthcare centres.

Bacteriological profile of diabetic foot ulcers and analysis of serum meteorin levels.

Objective: With the increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in recent years, diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), which are common and serious chronic complications of diabetes, have also become widespread. DFU is highly associated with a significant deterioration in quality of life as well as increased morbidity and mortality. Meteorin is a potent neurotrophic growth factor and shows antiangiogenic, antihyperalgesic, antinociceptive and neuroprotective effects.
