Clinical Presentation of Blastomycosis is Associated With Infecting Species, Not Host Genotype
Conclusions: Our study did not identify any genetic risk factors for blastomycosis. Instead, the species of Blastomyces causing the infection had a significant effect on disease severity.PMID:38609141 | DOI:10.3121/cmr.2024.1880 (Source: Clinical Medicine and Research)

Ketorolac Injections for Musculoskeletal Conditions: A Narrative Review
Clin Med Res. 2024 Mar;22(1):19-27. doi: 10.3121/cmr.2024.1847.ABSTRACTMusculoskeletal conditions of the upper and lower extremities are commonly treated with corticosteroid injections. Ketorolac, a parenteral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, represents an alternative injectant for common shoulder, hip, and knee conditions. A review of the current literature was conducted on the efficacy of ketorolac injection in musculoskeletal diseases. Several studies support the use and efficacy of ketorolac injection in subacromial bursitis, adhesive capsulitis, and hip and knee osteoarthritis. Given the systemic effects of glucoc...

A National Survey of Neonatologists' Perspectives on Probiotics Use in Neonatal Intensive Care Units in the U.S.A
Conclusion: Though a majority of respondents are not currently using probiotics in their NICU, a large number of nonusers are interested in using probiotics in the future. Differences continue to exist in the brand of probiotics used in US NICUs.PMID:38609145 | DOI:10.3121/cmr.2024.1848 (Source: Clinical Medicine and Research)

Osteonecrosis of the Knee: The Unintended Consequence of Steroid Abuse
We describe a male, aged 29 years, who presented with dull aching bilateral knee pain of 2-years' duration after a long-term steroid abuse for weight and muscle mass gain. Radiological and magnetic resonance imaging studies confirmed osteonecrosis of femoral and tibial condyles and secondary degenerative arthritis of the knee joint. Prompt suspicion, early diagnosis, and intervention in osteonecrosis of knee joints, and termination of steroids may reverse the pathology and prevent progression of disease.PMID:38609146 | DOI:10.3121/cmr.2024.1855 (Source: Clinical Medicine and Research)

Air Embolism-Induced Ischemic Stroke Following Orthognathic Surgery in a Patient With Goldenhar Syndrome
Clin Med Res. 2024 Mar;22(1):44-48. doi: 10.3121/cmr.2024.1882.ABSTRACTGoldenhar syndrome, a rare congenital anomaly, manifests as craniofacial malformations often necessitating intricate surgical interventions. These procedures, though crucial, can expose patients to diverse postoperative complications, including hemorrhage or infection. A noteworthy complication is stroke, potentially linked to air embolism or local surgical trauma. We highlight a case of a male patient, aged 20 years, who experienced a significant postoperative complication of an ischemic stroke, theorized to be due to an air embolism, after undergoing ...
