To explore the characteristics and therapeutic strategies of Pott's puffy tumor(PPT). The clinical data of two patients with PPT were retrospectively analyzed and combined with the literature, focusing on the comprehensive analysis of perioperative diagnosis and treatment strategies. Both patients underwent muti-disciplinary treatment, including timely administration of sufficient antibiotics capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier. Early removal of PPT lesions was performed using a combined internal and external approach under nasal endoscopic guidance. After standardized perioperative management, the symptoms of the two patients were completely relieved, with no recurrence after one=year follow=up. Postoperative complications such as frontal pain, numbness, local depression, or scar hyperplasiawere not present. PPT, being relatively rare and severe, requires careful attention. Key strategies for standardized perioperative management include multi-disciplinary consultation, timely and adequate antibiotic administration, and surgical intervention using a combined intranasal and extranasal endoscopic approach for lesion removal.

Germline inactivating mutations of the SLC25A1 gene contribute to various human disorders, including Velocardiofacial (VCFS), DiGeorge (DGS) syndromes and combined D/L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (D/L-2HGA), a severe systemic disease characterized by the accumulation of 2-hydroxyglutaric acid (2HG). The mechanisms by which SLC25A1 loss leads to these syndromes remain largely unclear. Here, we describe a mouse model of SLC25A1 deficiency that mimics human VCFS/DGS and D/L-2HGA.

We discuss the paper recently published in Rheumatology Internationa. This article reflects on the prevalence of autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2023) and compares the same with the pre-pandemic period (2016-2019). We assume that SARS-CoV-2 triggers ARD.

This paper introduces a class of insulin-glucose-glucocorticoid impulsive systems in the treatment of patients with diabetes to consider the effect of glucocorticoids. The existence and uniqueness of the positive periodic solution of the impulsive model at double fixed time is confirmed for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) using the [Formula: see text] function. Further, the global asymptotic stability of the positive periodic solution is achieved following Floquet multiplier theory and comparison principle.

Background: Metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) has much lower survival and ultimately develops castration resistance, which expects novel targets and therapeutic approaches. As a result of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis triggers programmed cell death and has been associated with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
Subjects: To better understand how ferroptosis can be used to treat CRPC, we reviewed the following: First, ferroptosis mechanisms and characteristics.

Cannabis use disorder affects up to 42% of individuals with schizophrenia, correlating with earlier onset, increased positive symptoms, and more frequent hospitalizations. This study employed an untargeted lipidomics approach to identify biomarkers in plasma samples from subjects with schizophrenia, cannabis use disorder, or both (dual diagnosis), aiming to elucidate the metabolic underpinnings of cannabis abuse and schizophrenia development. The use of liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry enabled the annotation of 119 metabolites, with the highest identification confidence level achieved for 16 compounds.
