A gomphosis, also known as a dentoalveolar syndesmosis, [11] or 'peg and socket joint' [12] is a joint that binds the teeth to bony teeth sockets in the maxillary bone and mandible. Gomphos is the Greek word for "bolt". The fibrous connection between a tooth and its socket is a periodontal ligament. Specifically, the connection is made between ...
Cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 are characteristic signs or symptoms of the Coronavirus disease 2019 that occur in the skin. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that skin lesions such as morbilliform (measles-like rashes, 22%), pernio (capillary damage, 18%), urticaria (hives, 16%), macular erythema (rose-colored rash, 13%), vesicular purpura (purplish discolouration, 11% ...
More recent reports have indicated a connection with the Pfizer vaccine for Covid-19 [7] and as a presenting symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection itself. [8] Finally, smaller series have detailed an association with pyoderma gangrenosum , bacterial and viral infections, and occasionally, malignancies.
A synarthrosis is a type of joint which allows no movement under normal conditions. Sutures and gomphoses are both synarthroses. Joints which allow more movement are called amphiarthroses or diarthroses. Syndesmoses are considered to be amphiarthrotic, because they allow a small amount of movement. [1]
We will solicit skin disease pictures from Cochrane Skin consumers globally for addition to Cochrane Skin Systematic Reviews in the Cochrane Library and Wikipedia via the social media outreach. Pictures will need to be of acceptable quality as judged by our medical and technical experts and come with:
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a long-term inflammatory autoimmune disorder which affects the skin and the muscles. Its symptoms are generally a skin rash and worsening muscle weakness over time. These may occur suddenly or develop over months.
The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (also known as degenerative joint disease), occurs following trauma to the joint, following an infection of the joint or simply as a result of aging and the deterioration of articular cartilage. Furthermore, there is emerging evidence that abnormal anatomy may contribute to early development of ...
A synchondrosis (or primary cartilaginous joint) is a type of cartilaginous joint where hyaline cartilage completely joins together two bones. [1] Synchondroses are different from symphyses (secondary cartilaginous joints), which are formed of fibrocartilage , and from synostosis (ossified junctions), which is the fusion of two or more bones.
