BACKGROUND
Bone marrow edema syndrome (BMOS) is a phenomenon primarily affecting the lower extremity. It is characterized by a sudden onset of pain and an ill-defined osseous hyperintense signal in magnetic resonance imaging. The main cause of BMOS is still largely unknown. Its pathophysiology is
Transient bone marrow edema (TBME) is a self-limiting disease characterized by joint pain with localized bone marrow edema by MRI and has been reported in many case series and case reports. It is well known that joints of the lower extremity including hips, knees, ankles, and feet are the classical
BACKGROUND
Transient bone marrow edema in the foot and ankle is an uncommon condition that should be distinguished from early avascular necrosis, stress fracture, or bone bruise. The diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation of pain with weightbearing without a history of trauma, combined with
The cases of four newborn infants with congenital rickets are reported. All infants were native Canadian: three were Cree and one was Inuit. One had a narrow chest and pulmonary hypoplasia, two had clinical and radiological signs of rickets with craniotabes, thickened wrists, and prominent
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is a rare disease of children, which is characterized by chronic diarrhea and complicated with malnutrition, including fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. We report a girl aged 4 years and 8 months who was diagnosed with the disease by endoscopic duodenal biopsy at 8
Patients with Fabry disease frequently develop left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and renal fibrosis. Due to heat intolerance and an inability to sweat, patients tend to avoid exposure to sunlight. We hypothesized that subsequent vitamin D deficiency may contribute to Fabry cardiomyopathy. This study
Vitamin D-deficient chicken embryos were obtained by feeding laying hens diets in which 3-7 micrograms calcitriol replaced the vitamin D3 supplement. A large proportion of the D-deficient embryos failed to complete the prehatching positional changes required to start pulmonary respiration. For this
This manuscript reviews the role of Vitamin D and its deficiency in pathology of the foot and ankle. Vitamin D is an essential vitamin which targets a number of tissues and organs, and plays an important role in calcium homeostasis. Vitamin D deficiency is common, particularly at higher latitudes
A 71-year-old man presented with acute pulmonary edema related to new onset of severe left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction, 30%). His symptoms did not improve with emergency therapy with diuretics and dobutamine. He was noted to be severely hypocalcemic (5.5 mg/dL) and subsequently showed
Heart failure, a common condition affecting older patients, is associated with increased hospitalization and mortality rates among geriatric patients. We describe the case of an 86-year-old woman with moderate renal failure, who presented pulmonary edema and severe myocardial dysfunction due to
Insufficiency fractures often occur in the sacrum and pubic rami but have rarely been reported in the ilium, where their frequency may be underestimated. We studied a series of 14 patients with insufficiency fractures of the ilium. Six patients had an oblique fracture through the wing of the ilium
The nephrotic syndrome (NS) in adult patients is a rare entity. It is characterized by a tetrad consisting of edema, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and hypercholesterolemia. NS can be caused by intrinsic glomerular disorders or secondary damage to the glomerulus triggered by systemic diseases,
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), also called drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), is a severe reaction usually characterized by fever, rash, and multiorgan failure, occurring 1-8 weeks after drug introduction. It is an immune-mediated reaction involving macrophage
