We report a case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis in a 9-year-old girl. She presented with a 9-month history of gradually worsening pain and swelling in her left foot. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed but the symptoms persisted. She underwent curettage through a small oval corticotomy window on the first metatarsal bone. The pain and swelling improved promptly ...

It is found that HRnCCH and HRnOH are metastable, chemically bound compounds of radon. These molecules are studied by multi-reference ab initio methods. Equilibrium geometry, NBO partial charges and bond orders, harmonic frequencies, are calculated. Intrinsic life-times are obtained by calculating the dissociation barriers and related partition functions, and by applying transition state theory...

Introduction Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease of unknown etiology. Clinically, the disease is characterized by the insidious onset of local pain and swelling in affected bones. Its course is one of intermittent periods of exacerbation and remission with successive bones affected.CRMO most commonly affects the metaphysis of long bones, especia...

The goal of this teaching case study is to demonstrate the novel use of (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells (WBCs) in diagnosing chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells were utilized to diagnose CRMO. Classically, CRMO is evaluated scintigraphically using (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate/hydroxymethylene diphosphonate. (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled ...

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease of unknown etiology, most commonly affecting the metaphysis of long bones, especially the tibia, femur and clavicle. The clinical spectrum varies from self-limited uni-or multi-focal lesions to chronic recurrent courses. Diagnosis is based on clinical, radiologic and pathological findings, is probably underdia...

We give two weak-strong uniqueness results for the weak solutions to the critical dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation when the initial data belongs to Ḣ−1/2. The first one shows that we can construct a unique Ḣ−1/2-solution when the initial data belongs moreover to L∞ with a small L∞ norm. The other one gives the uniqueness of a Ḣ−1/2-solution which belongs to C([0, T ), CMO).

An 11-year-old boy was diagnosed with chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) and presented with right sacro-femoral and occipital lesions. Initially, a tumor was suspected. However, the bone biopsy showed osteomyelitis with a negative bacterial culture. Bone scintigraphy revealed inflammatory changes on multiple bone lesions. The slight elevation in inflammatory markers such as C-rea...

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disorder that generally occurs in children and predominantly affects the long bones with marginal sclerosis. We herein report two cases of adult-onset CRMO involving the tibial diaphysis bilaterally, accompanied by polyarthritis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed both tibial osteomyelitis and high intensity of t...

Recent reports of joint and bone infections in children have provided several new insights into prompt and accurate diagnosis of these potentially destructive processes. In the HIV era, some reports have focused specifically on musculoskeletal infections at unusual sites with unusual organisms. Other reports further document the fascinating and perplexing entity of chronic recurrent multifocal ...
