Though heat has been used for many years for the treatment of painful joints such therapy rarely increases the intra-articular temperature significantly. This pilot study investigated the effect of intra-articular hyperthermia induced by microwaves from a combined heating/cooling instrument on
A 39-year-old woman with long-standing seropositive rheumatoid arthritis who had a total replacement of her left knee with a modular prosthesis in 1994 presented with fever, pruritic rash, and acute synovitis of that joint following local trauma. Synovial fluid showed a charcoal-like color, and
Arthromyalgia are frequent in Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) (16-76%) but arthritis is rare. We report on a 54-year-old woman who, 1 day after suffering from fever, headache and malaise, developed a painful and swollen left knee. A maculopapular rash and the characteristic 'tache noire' skin
A unique case of TMJ synovitis with effusion associated with FMF is described. This effusion was treated by aspiration, once the diagnosis was established. It is believed that aspiration is the most effective way of avoiding aseptic necrosis and should be carried out as soon as the diagnosis is
Arthroscopy done on a 24-year-old turkish male with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and arthritis of the knee joint provided morphological data during the acute stage of FMF-arthritis. Main finding is a heavy granulocytic infiltration of the subsynovial stratum, similar to that seen in
Severe shoulder pain in a 41 year old Arab woman persisted for three months despite non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug treatment. Isotope bone scanning and computed tomography showed inflammation of the glenohumeral joint and a large effusion, which needle aspiration had initially failed to
The microscopic and ultrastructural features seen in the synovium of twelve patients affected by the protracted arthritis variety of FMF is described. It would appear that the small vessels of the synovial membrane are the principle target organ in this articular pathology. Intra articular
Familial Mediterranean fever is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent episodes of fever, peritonitis, synovitis, pleuritis, and erysipelas-like skin lesions. Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by dry eyes, dry mouth, and musculoskeletal involvement.
OBJECTIVE
It has been suggested from anecdotal experience that Panacryl suture (Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson, Westwood, MA) may be responsible for an exaggerated inflammatory response. Our goal was to test the null hypothesis that Panacryl causes aseptic synovitis when used on anchors in the case of
BACKGROUND
The potential tissue replication sites and specific cell types that support in vivo virus survival beyond the acute phase of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) infection have not been fully defined in cattle. To clarify the knowledge gap, tissue specimens were tested after collection
To clarify mechanisms responsible for the self-limiting and nonerosive features of autoinflammatory joint disease in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), we performed a study on synovial tissue obtained surgically from an acutely inflamed hip joint from a boy feared to have septic arthritis but later
