Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is a severe, life-threatening infection that requires prompt diagnosis and aggressive surgical intervention. Management is particularly challenging when the condition is complicated by bilateral empyema and perivascular involvement. A 73-year-old woman presented with septic shock several days after experiencing pharyngeal pain.

- Advances in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with ultrasonography (US) and artificial intelligence (AI) aim to create a better system than traditional nerve conduction studies, focusing on accurately measuring severity.
- The study involved 75 individuals, recording 132 US videos during finger movements, and creating three datasets to compare the effectiveness of various machine learning algorithms in classifying CTS severity.
- Results indicated that comprehensive video data significantly improved accuracy, with one algorithm achieving a sensitivity of 1.00 and an accuracy of 0.75, highlighting the importance of observing median nerve (MN) movement for accurate diagnosis.
Face recognition is an important aspect of human non-verbal communication. Event-related potentials or magnetic fields, such as the N170/M170 component, are considered essential neural markers of face processing. Compared to upright human faces, inverted human faces and upright but not inverted animal faces cause longer latencies and larger amplitudes of these components.

Aims: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) enhance GABAergic transmission via the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/GLP-1 receptor pathway. Oral γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) administration reduces body temperature in humans; thus, DPP4i may reduce body temperature in humans. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of DPP4i administration on the body temperature of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

This mini-review focuses on electroencephalography (EEG) markers of early dementia-related precursors, including subjective cognitive decline, subjective memory complaints, and cognitive frailty. We present recent findings from EEG analyses identifying high dementia risk in older adults, with an emphasis on conditions that precede mild cognitive impairment.
