Countries with tuberculosis as an endemic disease face many challenges. Isolated tubercular tenosynovitis is a rare presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and involvement of the ankle is even rare. We present a case of isolated tubercular tenosynovitis of the ankle, the diagnosis of which was suggested radiologically and confirmed by histopathology. Clinicians dealing with tuberculosis infected patients need to be aware of such rare presentations for proper diagnosis and management.

The Grotte du Bison, in Arcy-sur-Cure (Yonne, France), yielded a large assemblage of 49 Neandertal remains from late Mousterian layers, offering critical insights for the study of Middle to Upper Paleolithic populations of Western Europe. Previous studies described the external morphology of 13 isolated teeth and a partial maxilla. Building on this previous work, the current study provides further descriptions and analyses of the remains, including one postcranial fragment, six cranial fragments, two maxillary fragments, and 40 isolated teeth.

Article Synopsis
- - Identifying bacteria in native vertebral osteomyelitis is difficult due to slow culture methods and varying accuracy of molecular diagnostics like 16S PCR and metagenomic sequencing, creating uncertainty in their clinical effectiveness.
- - A study conducted in 2023 reviewed data from January 1970 to June 2023 to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratios of these molecular methods in adults suspected of having this condition, excluding certain types of osteomyelitis.
- - Out of 3403 studies reviewed, 10 were selected for analysis based on strict criteria, ultimately involving 391 patients, revealing moderate risk of bias but good applicability for diagnosing native vertebral osteomyelitis.

General Medicine, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, IND.
Liver abscess is a rare presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. It may present with nonspecific symptoms such as fever, weight loss and abdominal pain and requires a high degree of suspicion. We present a case of a 57-year-old male previously treated for a liver abscess and presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and fever and a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) showed a loculated liver abscess.

Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis of the musculoskeletal system is rare, representing only 1-3% of all TB cases, with isolated cases in the foot being even less common, impacting mainly the spine and large joints.
- A 55-year-old man misdiagnosed with Charcot foot experienced persistent left foot pain, which eventually led to an MRI revealing joint inflammation and bone damage, identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- This case underscores the need for awareness of osteoarticular tuberculosis in immunocompromised patients and highlights the value of a multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
