Self‐Assessment Triage for Inflammatory Arthritis: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Objective Prompt referral to a rheumatologist is essential for the prevention of joint damage in people with inflammatory arthritis (IA). We investigated whether rheumatology referrals can improve triage if additional information from two self‐assessment tools, namely the tender joint count (TJC) and the Early Inflammatory Arthritis Detection Tool ...

In Vivo Emergence of Oxacillin Resistance in mecA‐Negative MSSA Endocarditis With Metastatic Infection

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is particularly challenging when complicated by infective endocarditis (IE), metastatic spread, or evolving antimicrobial resistance. We describe a 76‐year‐old woman with poorly‐controlled diabetes who presented with bilateral knee septic arthritis and persistent methicillin‐sensitive S.

Calcified Chondroid Mesenchymal Neoplasm of the Temporomandibular Joint: A Rare and Recently Described Benign Tumor

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm (CCMN) was first recognized as a distinct pathologic entity in 2021 at the University of Washington, and fewer than 100 cases of CCMN have been described in the literature. The CCMN tumor is characterized by the presence of chondroid matrix elements with an FN1–receptor TK gene fusion. CCMNs frequently arise
