Arthritis and osteomyelitis in childhood and adolescence-Bacterial and nonbacterial
Z Rheumatol. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1007/s00393-024-01504-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBacterial arthritis and osteomyelitis are usually acute diseases, which in this way differ from the often insidious course of nonbacterial osteomyelitis; however, there is often an overlap both in less acute courses of bacterial illnesses and also in nonbacterial osteitis. The overlapping clinical phenomena can be explained by similar pathophysiological processes. In bacteria-related illnesses the identification of the pathogen and empirical or targeted anti-infectious treatment are prioritized, whereas no triggering agent is known for...

Clinical characteristics of neonatal and infant osteomyelitis and septic arthritis: a multicenter retrospective study
CONCLUSION: Distinct differences were found between neonatal and infants with osteoarticular infections. Future studies should focus on improving diagnosis and subsequent treatment regimens for younger age groups.PMID:38642591 | DOI:10.1016/j.jped.2024.03.003 (Source: Jornal de Pediatria)

Occurrence and significance of elevated D-dimer levels in different types of osteomyelitis: a clinical study
CONCLUSIONS: No significant correlation was found between D-dimers and osteomyelitis, including positive bacterial cultures, implant-related osteomyelitis, or osteomyelitis without trauma. However, 40% of the patients had higher D-dimer levels.PMID:38639505 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202404_35894 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

Diabetic Foot Infections in the Emergency Department
Emerg Med Clin North Am. 2024 May;42(2):267-285. doi: 10.1016/j.emc.2024.01.003. Epub 2024 Mar 4.ABSTRACTDiabetic foot infection (DFI) is among the most common diabetic complications requiring hospitalization. Prompt emergency department diagnosis and evidence-based management can prevent eventual amputation and associated disability and mortality. Underlying neuropathy, arterial occlusion, immune dysfunction, and hyperglycemia-associated dehydration and ketoacidosis can all contribute to severity and conspire to make DFI diagnosis and management difficult. Serious complications include osteomyelitis, necrotizing infection...
