  • Nonvascular Extremity Ultrasound ______
    Comments and Responses Regarding Draft Local Coverage Determination: Nonvascular Extremity Ultrasound _______________________________________________________________________ As an important part of Medicare Local Coverage Determination (LCD) development, National Government Services solicits comments from the provider community and from members of the public who may be affected by or interested in our LCDs. The purpose of the advice and comment process is to gain the expertise and experience of those commenting. We would like to thank those who suggested changes to the Nonvascular Extremity Ultrasound LCD . The official notice period for the final LCD begins on April 15, 2009, and the final determination will become effective on July 1, 2009. Comment: A physician from the Indiana Carrier Advisory Committee (CAC) suggested to include the following ICD-9-CM codes: 729.5 – Other disorders of soft tissues, pain in limb; 782.2 – Symptoms involving skin and other integumentary tissue localized superficial swelling, mass, or lump. There are times when the localized superficial code is more appropriately used. Response: The contractor agrees that these diagnoses are consistent with indications in the LCD and the suggested ICD-9-CM codes will be added. _______________________________________________________________________ Comment: A podiatrist suggested adding the following to the “LIMITATIONS” section of the LCD: Neuromas, plantar fasciitis, superficial ganglia, bursae and abscesses unless there is documented evidence of some clinical presentation that obscures the clinician's ability to establish these simple clinical diagnoses. In the case of plantar fasciitis, diagnostic ultrasound is NOT to be used in making an initial determination (diagnosis) and then should ONLY be used after a failed course of conservative management.

The overlying skin becomes tethered to of stiff hands. Over the past 10 years Christie’s diabetic control has been moderate with the aponeurosis. Unlike the limited digit movement HbA1c levels varying from 7.5–9.0%.

She has no other significant past history. not move when the fingers are flexed. Dupuytren Christie complains that, ‘my ring finger is stuck permanently and my pointer finger sticks contracture is more common in diabetes (especially and clicks sometimes. Both my hands are really stiff in the morning – I’ve had to get a type 1 diabetes) and is thought to be caused by bigger mug for my coffee’. Christie states that until recently the stiffness tended to get glycation of connective tissue with subsequent a bit better later in the day; now she has had trouble all day with things such as opening crosslinking of protein molecules reducing the doors, changing gears and steering the car. She says she feels like her hands are gradually flexibility of soft tissues and being associated with freezing in a cupped position.

Histopathological findings in plantar fibromatosis reveal similar findings to those in palmar fibromatosis (i.e. Dupuytren’s disease), and genetic factors (i.e. familial Published date: Mar 08, 2019 history) for its appearance seems to be of relevance. Treatment options include various non-surgical and surgical procedures; however, progression of disease after non-surgical treatment and recurrence after surgery is a *Corresponding author concern.

    CASE Reumatismo, 2021; 73 (1): 67-69 REPORT Knuckle pads mimic early psoriatic arthritis I. Giovannini1, S. Zandonella Callegher1, E. Errichetti2, S. De Vita1, A. Zabotti1 1Department of Medical and Biological Science, Rheumatology Clinic, University of Udine, Italy; 2Institute of Dermatology, “Santa Maria della Misericordia” University Hospital, Udine, Italy SUMMARY Knuckle pads or Garrod’s nodes are a rare, non-inflammatory condition. They consist of benign, well-circum- scribed fibro-adipose tissue over the small joints of hands and feet. Knuckle pads may be under-diagnosed and mistaken for early arthritis. The rheumatologist should perform an accurate differential diagnosis in which he can be helped by ultrasound and by other colleagues, such as the dermatologist. Ultrasound is considered useful in the assessment of the thickening of the subcutaneous tissue, located usually on the extensor site of proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal hand joints. Dermoscopy may play a role in detecting epidermal and dermal changes. We hereby report the case of a female patient with knuckle pads mimicking psoriatic arthritis. Key words: Knuckle pads, Garrod’s nodes, psoriatic arthritis, ultrasound, dermoscopy. only Reumatismo, 2021; 73 (1): 67-69 use n INTRODUCTION n CASE REPORT he evaluation of small joint swelling We report the case of a 30-year-old previ- Tin young patients is often challenging. ously healthy woman with reddish, occa- This clinical manifestation should be dif- sionally painful swelling of the right hand ferentiated from a joint disease as well as proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints, who from lesions of the para-articular tissues, presented to our rheumatology clinic to such as soft tissue growth or other masses.

    COVID-19 vaccine AstraZeneca analysis print All UK spontaneous reports received between 04/01/21 and 22/09/21 for COVID-19 vaccine Oxford University/AstraZeneca. A report of a suspected ADR to the Yellow Card scheme does not necessarily mean that it was caused by the vaccine, only that the reporter has a suspicion it may have. Underlying or previously undiagnosed illness unrelated to vaccination can also be factors in such reports. The relative number and nature of reports should therefore not be used to compare the safety of the different vaccines. All reports are kept under continual review in order to identify possible new risks.
