OBJECTIVE
To describe a rare case of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome caused by gouty arthritis.
METHODS
A 76-year-old man presented with swelling and pain in the dorsum of feet and hands bilaterally. From the laboratory and radiologic findings, the
BACKGROUND
ACTH, a member of the melanocortin group of proteins, has long been used in the treatment of gout and is considered as an alternative therapeutic option, especially in difficult-to-treat patients.
METHODS
We performed a systematic electronic search (Medline and ScienceDirect) using the
Gout, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease, and calcium hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) are the three most common crystal-induced arthropathies. Multimodality imaging may help in their diagnosis, and is useful for a precise and comprehensive assessment and grading of
The authors reviewed the files of male patients who have been hospitalized over a 12 year period for a rheumatoid-factor negative arthritis beginning after age 50. Polymyalgia rheumatica, psoriasis or crystal-induced arthritis were excluded. The remaining 105 observations were classified according
Effect of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, pranoprofen (PPF), on sodium urate crystal-induced inflammation was investigated in comparison with standard drugs for treating acute gout in experimental animals. PPF inhibited sodium urate crystal-induced paw edema in both rats (1-10 mg/kg, p.o.)
In suspected and diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows detection of all relevant pathologies, such as synovitis, tenosynovitis, bone marrow edema (osteitis), bone erosion and cartilage damage. MRI is more sensitive than clinical examination for monitoring
Elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA), defined as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with onset at age 60 years or over, differs slightly at presentation from younger-onset RA (YORA) by a more equal gender distribution, a higher frequency of acute onset with systemic features, more frequent involvement
