Chapter 6: "Conflicting Desires".
Dr. Jeffrey Zigman was at a crossroads, torn between two seemingly irreconcilable paths. On one hand, his scientific career hung in the balance, with multiple grants demanding his attention. Without securing the necessary financial support,...
...his state-of-the-art laboratory would be forced to close its doors, bringing his research to a grinding halt. On the other hand, his unwavering determination to solve the murder-mystery consumed his thoughts, pushing him further into the depths of the chilling investigation.

While the fictional boss is investigating a murder-mystery, @oceankripa is doing the real work with @SalilVarshney7 @deepapli1 & others investigating the potential role for #ghrelin in hypoglycemia unawareness associated with recurrent hypoglycemia. #T1DM doi.org/10.3389/fendo.… Image
Recurrent episodes of insulin-induced hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes can result in hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure, characterized by a compromised response to hypoglycemia by counterregulatory hormones (counterregulatory response) and hypoglycemia unawareness.
This so-called HAAF is a leading cause of morbidity in diabetes and often hinders optimal regulation of blood glucose levels. Yet, the molecular pathways underlying HAAF remain incompletely described.

Dr. Jeffrey Zigman found himself immersed in a world where ghrelin, neurocircuitry, and the mysteries of the mind intertwined with the perplexing murder case. Image
As he continued his investigation, he couldn't shake the significance of the handwritten clue mentioning "earlobes." It seemed like an unlikely detail, but Dr. Zigman knew that sometimes the most peculiar elements held the key to unraveling a mystery.
Deep in thought, he recalled a lesser-known area of scientific research—the connection between certain physical traits, such as earlobe shape, and underlying genetic factors. Earlobes could be classified into two main types: attached and unattached.

As GN bacteria go, it's an interesting bug:
Highly motile, curved, GNR, #Urease-positive, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive
Related to Campylobacter, for family fun
Nice crossover with our #Gastroenterology colleagues, eh #IDtwitter and @IDSAInfo

GN, and as such should be sensitive to most #antibiotics that target GN with pretty good susceptibilities over time for:
#amoxicillin #tetracycline #aminoglycoside #nitroimidazole #macrolide
