Relevance. There are a large number of clinical tests for the diagnosis rotator cuff tendon injuries and their consequences. Timely collected anamnesis thorough examination key to an accurate choice treatment tactics.
 Objective: determine diagnostic value in patients with arthropathy.

Background and objectives: In hemophiliac patients, recurrent intra-articular bleeding leads to progressive arthropathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold-standard technique for joint assessment. The development of ultrasound protocols standardized scales such as “Hemophilia Early Arthropathy Detection with Ultrasound” (HEAD-US) “Point-of-care Ultrasonography” (POC-US) allow patient ...

Collagenous gastritis is a rare cause of heartburn in adults. Histopathological examination gastric mucosal biopsy from the stomach shows submucosal collagen deposition. The pathophysiologic mechanism unknown, and collagenous cases have been associated with certain drugs, such as olmesartan non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medical conditions, common variable immunodeficiency, primary IgM deficie...

Cementless surface replacement arthroplasty of the shoulder is designed to replace the damaged joint surfaces and restore normal anatomy with minimal resection of bone. We have used the Copeland shoulder arthroplasty for 14 years. Between 1986 and 2000, 285 surface replacement arthroplasties were implanted in our unit. The prosthesis has evolved during this time, but the principle of minimal bo...

We previously reported that inflammatory arthropathy resembling rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develops among transgenic mice carrying the long terminal repeat (LTR)-env-pX-LTR region of human T cell leukemia virus type I (LTR-pX-Tg mice). Because four genes are encoded in this region, we produced transgenic mice that only express the tax gene to examine its role in the development of arthritis. Tra...

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to evaluate laboratory data behaviour in two dialysis populations, with and without dialysis-related arthropathy and pain. METHODS We produced an elaboration of more than 160,000 items of biochemical data of 25 dialysis-related arthropathy patients with chronic articular pain, and 25 patients asymptomatic for joint pain and arthropathy. The pain visual anal...

OBJECTIVE The goal of the present work was to report two new clinical cases on Charcot spinal arthropathy (Charcot spine) and to identify and review all cases reported in the literature since 1978. METHOD In parallel with a description of the clinical and radiological features of two new cases, we performed a detailed literature review after searching the PubMed and Pascal databases with the ...

Hip arthropathy in haemophilic patients is disabling for hip and other common target joints. Even if bleedings in the hip are not frequent, femoroacetabular alterations may affect the functional ability of patients at a very young age. A haematologic prophylaxis combined with an adequate lifestyle and regular and low-traumatic physical activity are the keys to preventing such arthropathy. In th...

Two yttrium-90 (90Y) radiosynovectomy procedures were compared. One procedure, performed at the Royal Perth Rehabilitation Hospital (RPRH) required a shorter immobilisation time than that performed at the Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital (SCGH). There were no significant differences in outcome between the two procedures for the groups with inflammatory and osteoarthropathy. Thirty two patients (45...

OBJECTIVES Pyrophosphate arthropathy has been linked to diverse clinical subtypes. The two most common are: acute synovitis (pseudogout) and chronic pyrophosphate arthropathy ("pseudo-osteoarthritis"). We have conducted a study to examine whether these are overlapping syndromes. METHODS We reviewed all synovial fluid (SF) analyses performed in our laboratory from January 1988 to May 1997 to d...
