We present a case of renal abscess caused by infection in a previously healthy middle-aged man. He presented with sepsis and an acute kidney injury, and although not identified on his initial assessment, he had sustained a dog bite 5 days prior to hospital admission. The patient developed left loin pain and imaging investigation revealed a renal abscess.

Article Synopsis
- * Nanomedicine, particularly liposomal nanoparticles, is promising for targeted drug delivery, improving bioavailability, and reducing damage to healthy cells by specifically delivering anticancer drugs to cancerous tissues.
- * Researchers are addressing the issue of slow drug release from these nanoparticles by employing techniques such as magnetic fields and light exposure to enhance the speed of drug delivery, with studies analyzing the effectiveness of various formulations.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a severe disease caused by metabolic disorders, particularly carbohydrate metabolism disorders. The disease is a fatal global trouble characterised by high prevalence rates, causing death, blindness, kidney failure, myocardial infarction, amputation of lower limps, and stroke. Biochemical metabolic pathways like glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycogenesis, and glycogenolysis are critical pathways that regulate blood glucose levels with the glucokinase (GK) enzyme playing a central role in glucose homeostasis.
