A rare case of patella tuberculosis is reported. Clinical signs comprised chronic inflammatory pain, knee swelling and joint stiffness, with two years' evolution. Standard X-ray showed focal osteolysis with intact joint line. Diagnosis was based on surgical biopsy during arthrotomy. Treatment comprised nine months' antibiotherapy and bone curettage to prevent intra-articular extension. At 42 months' follow-up, functional results were good, without recurrence of infection.

MASK-air, Montpellier, France.
Background And Objectives: The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines classify rhinitis as "intermittent" or "persistent" and "mild" or "moderate-severe". To assess ARIA classes in a real-world study in terms of phenotypic differences and their association with asthma.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional real-world study based on users of the MASK-air® app who reported data for at least 3 different months.

Article Synopsis
- - Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are tools that help assess a patient's health at a specific time and are important for personalized healthcare.
- - The paper reviews the use of visual analog scales (VAS) for measuring asthma and allergic rhinitis control, particularly focusing on the MASK-air app, which includes electronic VAS forms.
- - A randomized controlled trial was conducted to validate the electronic VAS, and further evaluations confirmed the effectiveness of VAS questions and additional medication scores for allergic asthma symptoms.

Patellar tuberculosis (TB) is a rare manifestation of musculoskeletal tuberculosis, accounting for a small proportion of cases. This case report presents a detailed analysis of a female patient in her early 30s who presented with isolated TB of the patella without concurrent pulmonary involvement. The patient received antitubercular chemotherapy, consisting of a 4-month intensive phase followed by an 8-month continuation phase.

Article Synopsis
- - The traditional healthcare approach often overlooks patients' personal experiences and strengths, focusing mainly on disease treatment. Person-centered care aims to align medical decisions with individual values and preferences, particularly for those with chronic conditions.
- - This paper seeks to enhance care for rhinitis and asthma by developing digital care pathways and incorporating real-world evidence to create a more patient-centered approach.
- - Key components of the review include advancements in mHealth, the integration of artificial intelligence, a novel classification system for airway diseases, and proposals for the ARIA 2024 guidelines, all targeting a sustainable and applicable healthcare model.
Ambiguity of Primary Patellar Tuberculous Osteomyelitis as a Pre-Patellar Bursitis: A Case Report.
Arch Bone Jt Surg
January 2024
Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old man initially diagnosed with prepatellar bursitis later discovered to have osteomyelitis of the patella due to tuberculosis.
- Treated through surgery (curettage and biopsy) and antibiotics, the patient's condition improved significantly.
- Early intervention is crucial for successful recovery, as differentiating between bursitis and tuberculous osteomyelitis can be difficult.
