We report a case of an immunocompetent individual who was diagnosed with fungal tenosynovitis of the wrist caused by , a yeast in the Saccharomycetales order that has never been reported to cause infections in humans. The yeast grew in routine culture and was sent to a reference laboratory for identification and susceptibility testing. The patient ultimately received six surgeries and five months of antifungal therapy, including micafungin and voriconazole, before clinical resolution.

Case report: Exploring cortico-muscular coherence during Mirror visual feedback for deafferentation pain: a proof-of-concept study.
Front Hum Neurosci

Graduate School of Health Science, Kio University, Nara, Japan.
Background: Mirror visual feedback (MVF) has shown promise as a treatment for deafferentation pain following brachial plexus injury, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to assess MVF's effect on two patients with deafferentation pain by analyzing cortico-muscular coherence (CMC), a measure of functional connectivity between the brain and muscles.
Methods: Two patients with brachial plexus injuries performed wrist movements with and without a mirror, accompanied by electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG).

Flexor tendon lacerations require precise surgical repair, often using Mitek suture anchors. This report describes a recurrent infection 10 years post-FDP repair, caused by anchor migration and inflammation. Anchor removal was necessary to prevent further complications, highlighting potential long-term risks.

Purpose: Hip osteoarthritis is a common chronic condition primarily affecting the elderly, characterised by the presence of pain, joint stiffness, and restricted movement. Ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block combined with viscosupplementation may offer symptomatic improvement in patients with hip osteoarthritis unable to undergo total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to evaluate pain and function in patients with hip osteoarthritis following the administration PENG block combined with viscosupplementation.

Pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis (FTS) is a rapidly progressing infection of the flexor tendon sheath synovial fluid. Bacterial seeding most often occurs from trauma overlying the sheath followed by swift proximal propagation. FTS is an uncommon but high morbidity disease that emergency physicians must identify early to prevent devastating complications such as tendon rupture, digit necrosis, and sepsis.
