Mixed Infection With Aspergillosis and Actinomycosis in the Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report

A 74-year-old woman with diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis developed a rare dual infection in her maxillary sinus (a cavity above the teeth) caused by both a fungus (Aspergillus) and bacteria (Actinomyces). Imaging tests initially suggested only fungal infection, but surgery and tissue examination revealed both organisms were present. The patient was successfully treated with surgical removal of the infected material combined with antibiotics, leading to complete recovery.

Reprogramming astrocytic NDRG2/NF-κB/C3 signaling restores the diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction

This study found that regular exercise helps protect the brain of diabetic people from cognitive decline by boosting a protein called NDRG2 in astrocytes (brain support cells). The research shows that NDRG2 works by blocking harmful immune responses that damage synapses (connections between brain cells). In diabetic mice, exercise improved memory and learning ability while increasing NDRG2 levels, while blocking this protein reversed these benefits.
