Centers for Advanced Ent, Woodbridge, VA, US.
Background: Meniere's disease arises when an abnormal fluid accumulation results in heightened pressure within the inner ear or labyrinth. Its symptoms encompass vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and a sensation of fullness in the ear. Various triggers for Meniere's disease are known, from smoking and alcohol consumption to recent viral illnesses, allergies, and anxiety.

Background: Cysticercosis, a parasitic infection caused by the larval stages of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, predominantly affects cerebral and ocular tissues. The subcutaneous manifestation of this disease is a relatively uncommon clinical occurrence. Previously very few or no cases of cysticercosis presenting as subcutaneous solitary painful swelling have been reported in the literature.

Initially, she displayed generalised nonspecific symptoms, leading to a misinterpretation of disseminated tuberculosis (TB). However, further radiological, haematological and pathological investigations revealed extensive dissemination of cysticercosis.

Article Synopsis
- Helminth infections in school-age children lead to cognitive deficits, and deworming treatment improves memory recall; similar effects are observed in mice with distinct differences between sexes.
- Male and female mice showed different parasite loads and changes in neurotransmitter levels, with males experiencing increased norepinephrine and serotonin in the hippocampus, while females had decreased levels.
- The study indicates that the brain's response to infection varies across different structures and can explain the behavioral changes seen in infected individuals, highlighting the complex interactions between the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems.
