Pneumococcal infective endocarditis (PIE) is a rare but serious infection often presenting with systemic complications such as septic emboli, myocarditis, and septic arthritis. This case report highlights a 49-year-old male who presented with acute-on-chronic lower back pain and fever, later diagnosed with PIE complicated by septic spinal arthritis, paraspinal myositis, and developing myocarditis. A 49-year-old male presented to the emergency department (ED) with worsening back pain and fever after treatment failure for suspected pyelonephritis.

Article Synopsis
- * The case report describes a 68-year-old female with stage IV DLBCL who was treated with glofitamab alongside salvage radiotherapy after failing other treatments, leading to positive outcomes with manageable side effects.
- * The combination therapy resulted in a complete metabolic response without significant radiation toxicity, suggesting that further research is needed to explore this treatment approach for r/r DLBCL patients.
Validation of the Root Analysis Score for C5 Viability in Patients With Pan-Brachial Plexus Injury.
J Hand Surg Am
June 2024
Division of Hand and Microvascular Surgery, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Electronic address:
Purpose: Pan-brachial plexus injury patients present a reconstructive challenge. The root analysis score, developed from parsimonious multivariable modeling of 311 pan-brachial plexus injury patients, determines the probability of having a viable C5 nerve based on four categories: positive C5 Tinel test, intact C5 nerve on computed tomography myelogram, lack of hemidiaphragmatic elevation, and absence of midcervical paraspinal fibrillations.
Methods: Root analysis scores were calculated for a separate cohort of patients with pan-brachial plexus injuries.
