Assessing equity in the uptake of remote foot temperature monitoring in a large integrated US healthcare system
ConclusionsRTM growth was concentrated in a small number of higher-resourced facilities, with evidence of lower enrollment among those who were Black and lived farther from specialty care. Future studies are needed to identify and address barriers to uptake of new interventions like RTM to prevent exacerbating existing ulceration and amputation disparities. (Source: PLoS One)

Differentiation of Native Vertebral Osteomyelitis: A Comprehensive Review of Imaging Techniques and Future Applications
Med Sci Monit. 2024 Mar 31;30:e943168. doi: 10.12659/MSM.943168.ABSTRACTNative vertebral osteomyelitis, also termed spondylodiscitis, is an antibiotic-resistant disease that requires long-term treatment. Without proper treatment, NVO can lead to severe nerve damage or even death. Therefore, it is important to accurately diagnose the cause of NVO, especially in spontaneous cases. Infectious NVO is characterized by the involvement of 2 adjacent vertebrae and intervertebral discs, and common infectious agents include Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Brucella abortus, and fungi. Clinical symptoms are generall...

The Continued Impact of Godina's Principles: Outcomes of Flap Coverage as a Function of Time After Definitive Fixation of Open Lower Extremity Fractures
Conclusion Early soft tissue reconstruction of open lower extremity fractures performed within 7 days of ORIF reduces complication rates and reduces the variability of complication rates including SSIs, acute osteomyelitis, and hardware failure.

Intercalary Resection of the Tibia for Primary Bone Tumors: Are Vascularized Fibula Autografts With or Without Allografts a Durable Reconstruction?
CONCLUSION: VFG, alone or combined with an allograft, could be considered in reconstructing a lower extremity after intercalary resections of the tibia for primary bone tumors, and it avoids the use of a large endoprosthesis. However, this procedure was associated with frequent, often severe complications during the first postoperative years and complication-free survival of 58% at 5 years. Nearly 10% of patients ultimately had an amputation. For patients whose reconstruction succeeded, the technique provides a durable reconstruction with good MSTS scores, and we believe it is useful for active patients with long life expe...

Examining the causal relationship between circulating immune cells and the susceptibility to osteomyelitis: A Mendelian randomization study
CONCLUSION: Through our MR analysis, we have provided evidence supporting a causal relationship between genetic predisposition to higher circulating immune cell counts and an increased risk of osteomyelitis. Specifically, our findings highlight the association between elevated CD8+ T cell counts and a heightened susceptibility to osteomyelitis. These results offer valuable insights for the future exploration of immunotherapy approaches in the management of osteomyelitis.PMID:38492335 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111815 (Source: International Immunopharmacology)

Chronic otorrhea and osteomyelitis of the external auditory canal by Achromobacter xylosoxidans: an uncommon diagnosis
ConclusionsAtypical pathogens such asA. xylosoxidans can be the cause of chronic otitis externa. Early diagnosis and specific antibiotherapy can prevent the development of further complications, such as osteomyelitis. In these cases, otic cultures play an essential role to identify the causal germ. This is the first case of EAC osteomyelitis due toA. xylosoxidans reported to date.

Differential Diagnosis of Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis and Charcot Neuropathic Osteoarthropathy with Deep Learning Methods
AbstractOur study aims to evaluate the potential of a deep learning (DL) algorithm for differentiating the signal intensity of bone marrow between osteomyelitis (OM), Charcot neuropathic osteoarthropathy (CNO), and trauma (TR). The local ethics committee approved this retrospective study. From 148 patients, segmentation resulted in 679 labeled regions for T1-weighted images (comprising 151 CNO, 257 OM, and 271 TR) and 714 labeled regions for T2-weighted images (consisting of 160 CNO, 272 OM, and 282 TR). We employed both multi-class classification (MCC) and binary-class classification (BCC) approaches to compare the classi...
