The theory is that the radial nerve becomes irritated and/or inflamed from friction caused by compression by muscles in the forearm. [1] Some speculate that radial tunnel syndrome is a type of repetitive strain injury (RSI), but there is no detectable pathophysiology and even the existence of this disorder is questioned. [1]
Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (or sometimes RS 3 PE) is a rare syndrome identified by symmetric polyarthritis, synovitis, acute pitting edema (swelling) of the back of the hands and/or feet, and a negative serum rheumatoid factor. [2] If no underlying disorder can be identified (idiopathic RS3PE), this entity ...
Hirayama disease, also known as monomelic amyotrophy (MMA), [1] [2] is a rare motor neuron disease first described in 1959 in Japan. Its symptoms usually appear about two years after adolescent growth spurt and is significantly more common in males, with an average age of onset between 15 and 25 years.
Grade 1 (mild edema): Involves the distal parts such as a forearm and hand or a lower leg and foot. The difference in circumference is less than 4 cm (1.6 in) and no other tissue changes are present. Grade 2 (moderate edema): Involves an entire limb or corresponding quadrant of the trunk. Difference in circumference is 4–6 cm (1.6–2.4 in).
Palindromic rheumatism is a disease of unknown cause. It has been suggested that it is an abortive form of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), since anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) and antikeratin antibodies (AKA) are present in a high proportion of patients, as is the case in rheumatoid arthritis. [6]
Its incidence varies from 0.2 to 1.36% as recorded in case reports. [39] Compartment syndrome after a snake bite is more common in children. [ 38 ] Increased white blood cell count of more than 1,650/μL and aspartate transaminase (AST) level of more than 33.5 U/L are associated with developing compartment syndrome. [ 39 ]
4:1: 4:1: 9:1: 1:1: 3:2: 1:9 Typical age of onset (years) 2-12 (peak 2–3) 2-12 (peak 2–3) Adolescence: Any: Mid childhood: Adolescence Joint Pattern: Asymmetric; often large joints (knee, ankle, wrist, elbow) Often asymmetric; multiple small and large joints Symmetric; multiple small and large joints Symmetric; multiple small and large joints
