Synovial fluid dual‐biomarker algorithm accurately differentiates osteoarthritis from inflammatory arthritis

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 304-310, February 2025.
This study addresses an unmet need for objective diagnosis of osteoarthritis to improve clinical decision‐making and patient outcomes. Testing of human knee synovial fluid specimens that represented osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, crystalline arthritis, and native septic arthritis was carried out using internally and externally validated synovial

Incidental Detection of Asymptomatic Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis in an Elderly Patient With Pulmonary Embolism

open access: yesAcute Medicine &Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
Asymptomatic upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) was incidentally found in an elderly patient with sepsis who lacked typical risk factors such as central venous catheterization or malignancy. Comprehensive thrombotic imaging should include the upper extremities in patients with elevated D‐dimer levels, especially those with sepsis or limited ...
