Хроническая инфекция транспланта-призрака миелит успешно лечится ритуксимабом.

Хроническая трансплантация стволовых клеток после пересадки аллогенетических стволовых клеток (All-HSCT) представляет собой серьезное осложнение (CGHD) и часто имитирует аутоиммунные заболевания. Симптомы центральной нервной системы (ЦНС) являются редкими проявлениями КГГР и трудно диагностировать. В рамках проекта " Консенсус национальных институтов здравоохранения в области СЖГХД " , разработанного в 2020 году, были обсуждены проявления СНС в виде " нетипичных проявлений СЖГХД " с участием различных органов, помимо классических органов СЖГХ. У нас был случай миелита после

Polymyalgia rheumatica: An update (Review).

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects the connective vascular tissue, characterized by pain accompanied by morning stiffness, predominantly of the neck muscles, hip and shoulder girdle. Usually, patients with this disease are >50 years of age and biological inflammatory syndrome is present with an increase in both the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels, aspects similar to giant cell arteritis. The aim of the present review was to depict the current pathogenic hypothesis, diagnostic and treatment approach for patients with PMR, an

Carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common peripheral neuropathies. It affects mainly middle aged women. In the majority of patients the exact cause and pathogenesis of CTS is unclear. Although several occupations have been linked to increased incidence and prevalence of CTS the evidence is not clear. Occupational CTS is uncommon and it is essential to exclude all other causes particularly the intrinsic factors such as obesity before attributing it to occupation. The risk of CTS is high in occupations involving exposure to high pressure, high force, repetitive work, and vibrating tools.

Multiple Bone Metastases as the First Manifestation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patient with Noncirrhotic Liver.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) generally occurs on the background of chronic liver disease. Chronic hepatitides B and C and alcoholic liver disease are well-known risk factors for HCC, and it is uncommon in noncirrhotic liver. Extrahepatic metastasis seldom occurs in patients with early stage intrahepatic HCC and isolated bone metastases as a first documented extrahepatic metastasis is unusual presentation. In this report, we present a rare case of small solitary HCC (<3 cm) in noncirrhotic liver, presenting isolated bone metastases as a sole manifestation in patient with no well-known risk fa

Ultra-short stem intercalary prosthetic reconstruction for joint preservation in metaphyseal tumor management: a retrospective review of twenty-five cases.

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the outcomes, survival, and ASL incidence of ultra-short stem intercalary prosthetic reconstruction for tumors involving the metaphysis of bone. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 25 patients treated at two centers with wide resection for primary or metastatic bone tumors (femur, tibia, humerus) followed by reconstruction using ultra-short stem intercalary prostheses combined extracortical plates. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score. Survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-

Joint manifestations revealing inborn metabolic diseases in adults: a narrative review.

Inborn metabolic diseases (IMD) are rare conditions that can be diagnosed during adulthood. Patients with IMD may have joint symptoms and the challenge is to establish an early diagnosis in order to institute appropriate treatment and prevent irreversible damage. This review describes the joint manifestations of IMD that may be encountered in adults. The clinical settings considered were arthralgia and joint stiffness as well as arthritis. Unspecific arthralgias are often the first symptoms of hereditary hemochromatosis, chronic low back pain may reveal an intervertebral disc calcification in

Long-Term Outcomes of Pituitary Gland Preservation in Pituitary Macroadenoma Apoplexy: Case Series and Review of the Literature.

Introduction  For patients presenting with neurological changes from pituitary tumor apoplexy, urgent surgical intervention is commonly performed for diagnosis, tumor resection, and optic apparatus decompression. Although identification and preservation of the pituitary gland during the time of surgery can be challenging, it may lead to improve endocrine outcomes. Methods  A retrospective case series of all patients with macroadenomas presenting with apoplexy at Loyola University Medical Center from 2016 to 2018 was studied. Demographic, radiographic, and intraoperative characteristics were co

Myeloma Spine and Bone Damage Score (MSBDS) on Whole-Body Computed Tomography (WBCT): Multiple Reader Agreement in a Multicenter Reliability Study.

Objective: To assess the reliability of the myeloma spine and bone damage score (MSBDS) across multiple readers with different levels of expertise and from different institutions. Methods: A reliability exercise, including 104 data sets of static images and complete CT examinations of patients affected by multiple myeloma (MM), was performed. A complementary imaging atlas provided detailed examples of the MSBDS scores, including low-risk and high-risk lesions. A total of 15 readers testing the MSBDS were evaluated. ICC estimates and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated based on mean

Diagnostic imaging for spinal disorders in the elderly: a narrative review.

The high prevalence of neck and low back pain in the rapidly aging population is associated with significant increases in health care expenditure. While spinal imaging can be useful to identify less common causes of neck and back pain, overuse and misuse of imaging services has been widely reported. This narrative review aims to provide primary care providers with an overview of available imaging studies with associated potential benefits, adverse effects, and costs for the evaluation of neck and back pain disorders in the elderly population. While the prevalence of arthritis and degenerative

Uncovering the knowledge about systemic amyloidosis relevant to the rheumatologists.

Amyloidosis is a localized or systemic disease caused by deposition of proteins in the extracellular space of various organs and tissues. As part of the disease, proteins that were originally soluble misfold and acquire a fibrillar conformation that renders them insoluble and resistant to proteolysis. Systemic amyloidosis is a rare, often underdiagnosed condition. In recent years, the incidence of newly diagnosed cases of amyloidosis has been increasing in association with the aging of the population and greater access to diagnostic tests. From a clinical perspective, systemic amyloidosis is f

A Rare Culprit or an Elusive Culprit in Disguise? Unraveling Wild-Type ATTR Cardiac Amyloidosis in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a rare disorder caused by the deposition of abnormal proteins called amyloid in the myocardium, leading to dysfunction. The 2 most common forms of amyloidosis are AL (light chain) and ATTR (transthyretin). Diagnosing amyloidosis is challenging, especially in its early stages, due to its nonspecific symptoms and overlap with other conditions. Recent studies suggest that the incidence of wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis is rising, likely due to improved diagnostic techniques and an aging population. We present the case of a 72-year-old male with lower extremity ede

What should rheumatologists know about Gaucher disease and Fabry disease? Connecting the dots for an overview.

Gaucher and Fabry diseases are lysosomal storage disorders in which deficient enzyme activity leads to pathological accumulation of sphingolipids. These diseases have a broad phenotypic presentation. Musculoskeletal symptoms and pain complaints are frequently reported by patients. Thus, rheumatologists can be contacted by these patients, contributing to the correct diagnosis, earlier indication of appropriate treatment and improvement of their prognosis. This review describes important concepts about Gaucher and Fabry diseases that rheumatologists should understand to improve patients' quality

Quantitative Imaging and Radiomics in Multiple Myeloma: A Potential Opportunity?

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common type of hematological disease and, although it is rare among patients under 40 years of age, its incidence rises in elderly subjects. MM manifestations are usually identified through hyperCalcemia, Renal failure, Anaemia, and lytic Bone lesions (CRAB). In particular, the extent of the bone disease is negatively related to a decreased quality of life in patients and, in general, bone disease in MM increases both morbidity and mortality. The detection of lytic bone lesions on imaging, especially computerized tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance I

Hypophosphatemic Osteomalacia Induced by Low-Dose Adefovir-Related Fanconi Syndrome.

Adefovir dipivoxil (ADV), an antiviral agent for chronic hepatitis B virus infection, has been associated with nephrotoxicity, particularly Fanconi syndrome, even at low doses (10 mg/day). Fanconi syndrome is a generalized proximal tubular dysfunction leading to phosphate wasting and hypophosphatemic osteomalacia. Here, the author reports a case of a 58-year-old man with a 2-year history of bone pain involving the left foot, upper back, and left scapula, later extending to the right foot and chest wall, without antecedent trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed insufficiency fractures in b

Integrating imaging and biomarker assessment to better define psoriatic arthritis and predict response to biologic therapy.

The treatment options for PsA have substantially expanded over the last decade. Approximately 40% of patients will not respond to first-line anti-TNF-α therapies. There is limited data to help clinicians select the most appropriate biologic therapy for PsA patients, including guidance for decisions on biologic therapy switching. In this review we will examine the current understanding of predictors of response to treatment. Imaging technology has evolved to allow us to better study psoriatic disease and define disease activity, including synovitis and enthesitis. Enthesitis is implicated in th

Fibromyalgia syndrome: etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

Fibromyalgia syndrome is mainly characterized by pain, fatigue, and sleep disruption. The etiology of fibromyalgia is still unclear: if central sensitization is considered to be the main mechanism involved, then many other factors, genetic, immunological, and hormonal, may play an important role. The diagnosis is typically clinical (there are no laboratory abnormalities) and the physician must concentrate on pain and on its features. Additional symptoms (e.g., Raynaud's phenomenon, irritable bowel disease, and heat and cold intolerance) can be associated with this condition. A careful differen
