Lewy Body Dementia Hidden by Long-Term Schizophrenia

Lewy body dementia (LBD) can be especially difficult to identify in patients with a long history of psychiatric illness, where overlapping neuropsychiatric and motor symptoms may mask its emergence.

Kefir-Associated Yeast Linked to Patient Health Risks

Candida kefyr, a yeast species historically considered a rare human pathogen, is now being identified as an emerging cause of invasive fungal infections in solid organ transplant recipients, according to a recent case report and literature review.
