Article Abstract
Aim: Pediatricians are trained to identify recurrent or unusual infections in children, prompting evaluation for inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Some monogenic IEI, however, may present atypically. This study describes our experience with children diagnosed with activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome (APDS2) including unusual presentations.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on two children diagnosed with APDS2 at Shaare Zedek and Sheba Tel-Hashomer Medical Centers in Israel. Both patients underwent immune assessments, genetic testing, and treatment between 2019 and 2024.
Results: Two patients, a 17-year-old female (P1) and a 7-year-old male (P2), were diagnosed with APDS2 after presenting with recurrent juvenile parotitis (P1) and severe lymphadenopathy (P2). Immunologic evaluation revealed hypogammaglobulinemia and combined immune deficiency. Genetic testing identified variants (c.1425 + 1G > T in P1 and c.1425 + 1G > C in P2). Both received intravenous immunoglobulins and prophylactic antibiotics. P2 was treated with rapamycin, leading to resolution of lymphadenopathy.
Conclusion: This report highlights the clinical presentation of APDS2, a rare monogenic IEI in children, including the atypical manifestation of RJP and the common feature of lymphadenopathy. Pediatricians should stay vigilant for red flags of IEI during clinical evaluations, as early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care are crucial for effective management.

The class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway (PI3K) is a master regulator of cellular growth, and plays essential roles in controlling immune cell function, metabolism, chemotaxis and proliferation. Activation of class I PI3Ks generates the signalling lipid PIP that activates multiple pro-growth signalling pathways. Class I PI3Ks can be activated by multiple plasma membrane stimuli, including G-protein coupled receptors, Ras superfamily GTPases, and receptor tyrosine kinases.

Adrenal lipomas are benign tumors containing ectopic adipose tissue in the adrenal gland, an organ that normally lacks both adipocytes and their progenitors. The origin of this ectopic fat remains enigmatic, and the absence of a genetic animal model has hindered its investigation. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P], a key signaling lipid that regulates cellular growth and differentiation, is tightly regulated by the lipid phosphatases PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) and SHIP2 (SH2-containing inositol phosphatase 2).

This study aimed to evaluate the antidepressant potential of Nitazoxanide (NTZ), an antiprotozoal drug with known anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced mice model of depression. NTZ was administered at doses of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kg, and its effects were assessed through a series of behavioral tests, including the forced swim test, tail suspension test, actophotometer test, and social interaction test. NTZ treatment at 150 and 300 mg/kg significantly improved behavioral and biochemical outcomes, relieving depressive-like symptoms and restoring neurochemical balance.

Neurocognitive disorders represent a significant global health challenge and are characterized by progressive cognitive decline across conditions including Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and diabetes-related cognitive impairment. The hippocampus is essential for learning and memory and requires intact neuroplasticity to maintain cognitive function. Recent evidence has identified the brain insulin signaling pathway as a key regulator of hippocampal neuroplasticity through multiple cellular processes including synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter regulation, and neuronal survival.
