ABSTRACT Low‐field magnetic resonance imaging (LF‐MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging can be obtained in the standing horse. There is potential for increased diagnostic capacity combining PET with MRI, given that PET assesses the metabolic activity of injured tissues, whereas MRI provides structural and functional details on both bone ...

Antibiotic‐Impregnated Calcium Sulfate Beads for Local Therapy of Severe Skull Base Osteomyelitis
Novel Local Therapy of Severe Skull Base Osteomyelitis. ABSTRACT We report on a patient with severe progressive osteomyelitis of the lateral skull base, despite targeted long‐term antibiotic therapy. Successful treatment and recovery of the facial nerve palsy were achieved through additional surgical debridement and insertion of synthetic calcium ...

Clinical Patterns of Osteoarticular, Bone Marrow and Urogenital Paracoccidioidomycosis
ABSTRACT Background Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an endemic systemic mycosis in Latin America, classically characterized by pulmonary, mucosal and lymphatic involvement. Extrapulmonary manifestations affecting uncommon organs remain poorly characterized and may contribute to diagnostic delay and adverse outcomes. Methods We conducted a retrospective

Etiology of infectious spondylodiscitis: is there an associaton with successful treatment?
Introduction Infectious spondylodiscitis is rising in incidence and and is often a late diagnosis and identification of the causative agent. The objective was to evaluate the treatment outcomes of patients with infectious spondylodiscitis depending on

From Culture to Sequencing: Evolving Strategies for the Diagnosis of Pediatric Spondylodiscitis
Diagnostic approaches to pediatric spondylodiscitis have evolved from culture‐based methods with limited sensitivity to advanced molecular and sequencing technologies. Metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) enables rapid, culture‐independent pathogen identification, improving diagnostic accuracy, guiding therapy, and reducing invasive procedures
