Background: Neurologic symptoms seen in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) may not be entirely caused by immunotoxicity. We aim to highlight these confounding conditions through clinical cases to encourage early recognition and management.

Methods: We describe a series of seven cases from our institution that were treated with ICI and presented with Neurologic symptoms and were diagnosed with superimposed conditions beyond immunotoxicity.

: Acute isolated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocations are rare and often misdiagnosed during initial evaluation due to subtle clinical presentation, low index of suspicion, and imaging barriers. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical to avoid chronic instability, limited wrist mobility, and osteoarthritis. This systematic review evaluates the functional outcomes of conservative and surgical treatment protocols for acute isolated DRUJ dislocations.

Variations in the development of carpal bones are uncommon, with the scaphoid bone typically forming from the fusion of the os centrale carpi and the radial chondrification center during embryogenesis. A bipartite scaphoid is a rare congenital disorder that occurs when these ossification centers fail to fuse, with a prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between optical spectral transmission (OST) and markers of clinical inflammatory arthritis in patients diagnosed with rheumatic diseases.
  • OST measurements were taken from 1,312 joints of 60 patients at two different times, comparing results with clinical activity measures like DAS28 and swollen joint counts.
  • Findings showed that OST scores were significantly higher in patients with inflammatory arthritis, and changes in OST values were closely related to changes in clinical activity markers, suggesting OST could be a useful tool for monitoring disease activity.
