Diabetic foot infections, a common but diagnostically challenging clinical presentation, requires the difficult differentiation between soft tissue-only infection, diabetic neuropathic osteoarthropathy, osteomyelitis or a combination of these pathological processes. While there are clinical predictors for osteomyelitis and simple bedside tests available, imaging is often required for accurate diagnosis. A variety of anatomic and molecular imaging tests are in clinical use, each with its advantages and disadvantages. This review will provide an overview of the different available imaging modalities and their diagnostic criteria, emphasizing the role of hybrid imaging for the accurate diagnosis of osteomyelitis.

Background: Accurate segmentation of lesions is beneficial for quantitative analysis and precision medicine in multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Purpose: Currently, multimodal MRI fusion segmentation networks still face two main issues. On one hand, simple feature concatenation fails to fully capture the complex relationships between different modalities, as it overlooks the importance of dynamically changing feature weights across modalities.

Multimodal phototheranostics utilizing single molecules offer a "one-and-done" approach, presenting a convenient and effective strategy for cancer therapy. However, therapies based on conventional photosensitizers often suffer from limitations such as a single photosensitizing mechanism, restricted tumor penetration and retention, and the requirement for multiple irradiations, which significantly constrain their application. In this report, we present an aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) bacteria hybrid bionic robot to address above issues.

Objective: Salivary gland neoplasms are rare in pediatric and adolescent populations. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the salivary glands that most frequently arises in the parotid gland as a painless swelling. Herein we present a rare case of MEC in a child with metastasis to the cervical lymph node as primary presentation.

The glymphatic system is a vascular-dependent network, involving cerebrospinal fluid circulation, that facilitates waste clearance from the brain. Although glymphatic dysfunction has been implicated in various neurologic diseases, its influencing factors are still not fully understood. We aimed to evaluate glymphatic clearance in moyamoya disease (MMD) and explore its associations with arterial stenosis and ventricular size.

Acquired systemic-to-pulmonary venous shunts are rare, occurring when collateral vessels form between systemic and pulmonary veins, bypassing the right heart and alveolar spaces. We present the case of a 29-year-old male with recurrent prosthetic tricuspid valve (TV) endocarditis. Following redo TV surgery, he developed refractory hypoxemia, resistant to diuresis and supplemental oxygen.
