Article Synopsis
- There are treatments for a disease called visceral leishmaniasis (VL), but sometimes it can come back in some patients even after they seem cured.
- This case talks about a 19-year-old girl from Bangladesh who had VL return after being treated multiple times, but doctors used a new approach to help her.
- After following a special treatment plan, she stayed healthy and didn't have any more relapses for a whole year after finishing her treatment.

December 2023
Article Synopsis
- - A 24-year-old SRY-positive 46,XX Indian male presented with small testicular size, underdeveloped phallus, lack of facial hair, and gynecomastia, revealing signs of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism.
- - Despite having a 46,XX karyotype, the presence of the SRY gene indicates a male phenotype that develops complications like hypogonadism and infertility after puberty.
- - Management includes testosterone therapy, artificial reproductive technologies, surgical interventions for genital issues, and psychological/genetic counseling to address infertility, hypogonadism, and emotional distress.
Aims: The aim was to see the frequency of CAN in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with peripheral neuropathy, and its association with peripheral nerve conduction abnormalities.
Methods: A cross-sectional study at BIRDEM was conducted in 62 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus having electrophysiologically diagnosed peripheral neuropathy. CAN was detected by four clinical tests - heart rate response to deep breathing and valsalva maneuver, blood pressure response to standing and sustained handgrip.
The activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is associated with reductions in circulating lipids and glucose in rodents and contributes to energy expenditure in humans indicating the potential therapeutic importance of targetting this tissue for the treatment of a variety of metabolic disorders. In order to evaluate the therapeutic potential of human BAT, a variety of methodologies for assessing the volume and metabolic activity of BAT are utilized. Cold exposure is often utilized to increase BAT activity but inconsistencies in the characteristics of the exposure protocols make it challenging to compare findings.

Infrared thermography is a promising way to quantify BAT; however, a standardized methodology has not been established. This study aims to establish a standardized and reproducible protocol to measure thermal response to cold in the supraclavicular area using thermographic imaging.

Diagnosis of localized primary renal Aspergillus infection in diabetic patients requires careful investigations due to its benign presentation and lack of associated systemic clinical features. There is also paucity of information on the role of conservative treatment of such localized infection with antifungal agents only.
