Association between platelet count and osteoarthritis in women older than 50 years.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease involving inflammatory processes. Platelets play important roles in both hemostasis and the inflammatory response; however, the relationship between platelet count and OA is unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the association between platelet count and knee and hip OA in Korean women.

Development and feasibility of an intervention featuring individual supported work placements to aid return to work for unemployed people living with chronic pain.

Working in good jobs is associated with good health. High unemployment rates are reported in those disabled with musculoskeletal pain. Supported employment interventions work well for helping people with mental health difficulties to gain and retain employment. With adaptation, these may be useful for people with chronic pain. We aimed to develop and explore the feasibility of delivering such an adapted intervention.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Presenting Initially as Spinal Cord Compression: When Chemotherapy Alone Is Enough.

Spinal cord compression (SCC) is a rare initial presentation and complication of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with nearly all reported cases occurring in the pediatric population. We report a 38-year-old previously healthy man who presented with acute on chronic lower back pain, gait instability, urinary retention, and severe thrombocytopenia. Radiologic examination revealed two soft tissue masses of the thoracic spine associated with compression fractures causing spinal canal narrowing and cord compression. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of ALL. Immediate initiation of high-dose corticosteroids and systemic chemotherapy resolved the patient's symptoms without radiation therapy or surgical intervention. After two courses of chemotherapy, the patient achieved complete remission in the bone marrow. Rapid administration of chemotherapy alone in this case resulted in a complete resolution of SCC. Given the rarity of this complication in adults, no standardized treatment has been established. The success of this case recommends chemotherapy as the initial management of SCC in chemotherapy-naïve ALL.

Bilateral Atypical Facial Pain Caused by Eagle’s Syndrome.

Recurrent throat pain, "foreign body" sensation, difficulty in swallowing, or vague facial pain is many times caused by the presence of an elongated styloid process. Many times, this condition is misdiagnosed and the patient is treated for facial neuralgia. But once Eagle's syndrome is confirmed by clinical and radiological examination, the treatment is always surgical resection. The approach maybe intraoral or extraoral. In this paper, we present a case of Eagle's syndrome caused by bilateral elongation of the styloid process and where surgical resection of the same gave instant permanent relief for the patient.

[POSTERIOR REVERSIBLE ENCEPHALOPATHY SYNDROME IN CHILDREN (CASE REPORT)].

Posterior reversible encephalopathy is a rare clinical and radiological syndrome with a character type of change in the brain: vasogenic edema of the white matter, mainly in the occipital and parietal lobes, usually symmetric, which is a secondary manifestation of acute dysfunction of the posterior cerebrovascular system. The main pathophysiological mechanism of PRES is a violation of tone of cerebral vessels. Hyperactivity of sympathetic NS, oxidative stress, development of endothelial dysfunction, disorders of humoral homeostasis, particularly, interaction between a number of biochemical substances can trigger the last one. The main clinical manifestations are headache, disorders of consciousness (from somnolence to coma), visual disturbances (hemianopsia, scotoma, and cortical blindness), behavioral disorders, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, epileptic seizures. The article presents the description of clinical observation of the posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a child verified by MRI-data.
