This is why fungal infections are Difficult to treat.

The UN General Assembly has endorsed the Equal Earth projection, a map that more accurately shows countries’ relative sizes. Unlike the centuries-old Mercator projection, which makes regions near the poles appear much larger and Africa relatively smaller, Equal Earth preserves countries’ true relative land areas.

Diphtheria is a serious, highly contagious infection caused by toxin-producing Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It spreads person-to-person through respiratory droplets when coughing or sneezing, and rarely through contact with skin lesions or soiled articles, with patients able to spread it for 2 to 4 weeks after symptoms begin. It usually affects the nose and throat, starting with sore throat, low fever, malaise and nasal discharge, then forming a thick bluish-white, grayish-green or black adherent membrane in the throat that can block breathing. Other forms cause skin infections and temporary muscle paralysis, and when systemic, the toxin can damage the heart, nervous system and other organs, with about 1 in 10 infected people dying even with treatment. Treatment must start quickly, before lab results return. It involves an injection of antitoxin to block the toxin and antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria, plus hospital isolation and monitoring. Close contacts need testing and may receive preventive antibiotics. One attack does not give lifelong immunity. Prevention is by vaccination with diphtheria toxoid as DTP, DT or Td, at least three primary intramuscular doses which is part of routine childhood immunization, though protection does not last forever and boosters are needed. In Nigeria, this has been critical: NCDC reported more than 10,000 confirmed cases nationally in 2026 alone, with 12,150 suspected and 884 deaths recorded from Jan to Nov 2025, mainly in children 5-14 who were unvaccinated. Kano accounted for over 85% of the burden at its peak.

Experts just completed the first-ever complete nerve map of the clitoris. The team says it paves the way for safer pelvic surgeries and a deeper understanding of female anatomy. In a monumental breakthrough for anatomical science, researchers have successfully created the first-ever three-dimensional map of the nerve network inside the clitoris. While the intricate pathways of the penis’s nerves were fully plotted nearly 30 years ago, the clitoris has historically been neglected by the medical community due to persistent cultural taboos and technical challenges. Led by Dr. Ju Young Lee at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers, researchers used state-of-the-art, high-intensity X-ray imaging from a particle accelerator to map the complex, tree-like branching of the dorsal nerve with micrometer-level precision. This revolutionary mapping provides an unprecedented foundation to transition the organ from a historical footnote into a subject of rigorous physiological study. Beyond expanding our understanding of female pleasure and orgasms, this milestone discovery has profound clinical implications. Having an accurate map of these dense sensory pathways can guide surgeons to avoid accidental nerve damage during delicate pelvic procedures, such as gender-affirming surgeries, reconstructive surgeries for survivors of female genital mutilation, and common gynecological operations. By transforming how medical professionals view and treat pelvic anatomy, this study marks a vital first step toward closing the massive gender gap in medical research and ensuring safer, more effective healthcare for women worldwide. source: Lee, J.
