  • Is Palindromic Rheumatism Amongst Children a Benign Disease? Yonatan Butbul-Aviel1,2,3, Yosef Uziel4,5, Nofar Hezkelo4, Riva Brik1,2,3,4 and Gil Amarilyo4,6*
    Butbul-Aviel et al. Pediatric Rheumatology (2018) 16:12 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12969-018-0227-z RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Is palindromic rheumatism amongst children a benign disease? Yonatan Butbul-Aviel1,2,3, Yosef Uziel4,5, Nofar Hezkelo4, Riva Brik1,2,3,4 and Gil Amarilyo4,6* Abstract Background: Palindromic rheumatism is an idiopathic, periodic arthritis characterized by multiple, transient, recurring episodes. Palindromic rheumatism is well-characterized in adults, but has never been reported in pediatric populations. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical features and outcomes of a series of pediatric patients with palindromic rheumatism. Methods: We defined clinical criteria for palindromic rheumatism and reviewed all clinical visits in three Pediatric Rheumatology centers in Israel from 2006through 2015, to identify patients with the disease. We collected retrospective clinical and laboratory data on patients who fulfilled the criteria, and reviewed their medical records in order to determine the proportion of patients who had developed juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Results: Overall, 10 patients were identified. Their mean age at diagnosis was 8.3 ± 4.5 years and the average follow-up was 3.8 ± 2.7 years. The mean duration of attacks was 12.2 ± 8.4 days. The most frequently involved joints were knees. Patients tested positive for rheumatoid factor in 20% of cases. One patient developed polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis after three years of follow-up, six patients (60%) continued to have attacks at their last follow-up and only three children (30%) achieved long-term remission. Conclusions: Progression to juvenile idiopathic arthritis is rare amongst children with palindromic rheumatism and most patients continued to have attacks at their last follow-up.

C. GERSTER, T. L. VISCHER, A. BENNANI, AND G. H. FALLET From the Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland SUMMARY This study presents the frequency of severe and mild talalgias in unselected, consecutive patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's syndrome, and generalized osteoarthosis. Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis caused a severe talalgia and they were observed mainly in males with Reiter's syndrome or ankylosing spondylitis. On the other hand, sub-Achilles bursitis more frequently affected women with rheumatoid arthritis and rarely gave rise to severe talalgias. The simple calcaneal spur was associated with generalized osteoarthrosis and its frequency increased with age. This condition was not related to talalgias. Finally, clinical and radiological involvement of the subtalar and midtarsal joints were observed mainly in rheumatoid arthritis and occasionally caused apes valgoplanus. copyright.

  • REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY AWARENESS Tenosynovitis
    REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY RSIA AWARENESS Tenosynovitis RSI Conditions The term Repetitive Strain Injury is an umbrella term used to describe a number of specific musculoskeletal conditions, including tenosynovitis, as well as ‘diffuse RSI’, which is more difficult to define but which recent research attributes to nerve damage. These conditions are often occupational in origin. Lack of adequate diagnosis or access to appropriate treatment can exacerbate the condition and sometimes leads to job loss and economic hardship. What is Tenosynovitis? Tenosynovitis is the tender swelling of the rope or cord like structures (tendons) which connect muscles to the bones in order to work the joints of the body, and inflammation of the lining of the protective synovial sheath that covers these tendons. Areas most frequently affected are the hand, wrist or arms, although it may occur at any tendon site. De Quervain’s or Stenosing Tenosynovitis results from inflammation or constriction of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. A localised swelling affecting the flexor tendons of the hand is known as Trigger Finger. The Symptoms When the gliding surfaces of the tendon and sheath become roughened and inflamed from overuse, tenosynovitis will present as aching, tenderness and swelling of the affected area. There may also be also stiffness of the joint, shooting pains up the arm and creaking tendons (crepitus). The ability to grip can be lost. A localised swelling at the base of the thumb may indicate De Quervain’s. Tenosynovitis can just last a few days, but in some cases may go on for many weeks or even months.

  • Conditions Related to Inflammatory Arthritis
    Conditions Related to Inflammatory Arthritis There are many conditions related to inflammatory arthritis. Some exhibit symptoms similar to those of inflammatory arthritis, some are autoimmune disorders that result from inflammatory arthritis, and some occur in conjunction with inflammatory arthritis. Related conditions are listed for information purposes only. • Adhesive capsulitis – also known as “frozen shoulder,” the connective tissue surrounding the joint becomes stiff and inflamed causing extreme pain and greatly restricting movement. • Adult onset Still’s disease – a form of arthritis characterized by high spiking fevers and a salmon- colored rash. Still’s disease is more common in children. • Caplan’s syndrome – an inflammation and scarring of the lungs in people with rheumatoid arthritis who have exposure to coal dust, as in a mine. • Celiac disease – an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that causes malabsorption of nutrients and can eventually cause osteopenia or osteoporosis. • Dermatomyositis – a connective tissue disease characterized by inflammation of the muscles and the skin. The condition is believed to be caused either by viral infection or an autoimmune reaction. • Diabetic finger sclerosis – a complication of diabetes, causing a hardening of the skin and connective tissue in the fingers, thus causing stiffness. • Duchenne muscular dystrophy – one of the most prevalent types of muscular dystrophy, characterized by rapid muscle degeneration. • Dupuytren’s contracture – an abnormal thickening of tissues in the palm and fingers that can cause the fingers to curl. • Eosinophilic fasciitis (Shulman’s syndrome) – a condition in which the muscle tissue underneath the skin becomes swollen and thick. People with eosinophilic fasciitis have a buildup of eosinophils—a type of white blood cell—in the affected tissue.

  • Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis in Pediatric Population: Review of Literature and a Case Report Mohsen Karami*, Mehryar Soleimani and Reza Shiari
    Karami et al. Pediatric Rheumatology (2018) 16:6 DOI 10.1186/s12969-018-0222-4 CASEREPORT Open Access Pigmented villonodular synovitis in pediatric population: review of literature and a case report Mohsen Karami*, Mehryar Soleimani and Reza Shiari Abstract Background: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative process in children that mostly affects the knee joint. Case Presentation: The study follows the case of a 3-year-old boy presenting recurrent patellar dislocation and PVNS. Due to symptoms such as chronic arthritis, he had been taking prednisolone and methotrexate for 6 months before receiving a definitive diagnosis. After a period of showing no improvements from his treatment, he was referred to our center and was diagnosed with local PVNS using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient was treated for his patellar dislocation by way of open synovectomy, lateral retinacular release, and a proximal realignment procedure, with no recurrence after a 24-month follow-up. Conclusion: PVNS may appear with symptoms resembling juvenile idiopathic arthritis, thus the disease should be considered in differential diagnosis of any inflammatory arthritis in children. PVNS may also cause mechanical symptoms such as patellar dislocation. In addition to synovectomy, a realignment procedure can be a useful method of treatment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the middle-term follow-up outcomes of cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA in patients with PVNS. Methods: From January 2012 to December 2014, a retrospective study was conducted in 17 patients with PVNS who underwent CR TKA as PVNS group. During this period, we also selected 68 patients with osteoarthritis who underwent CR TKA (control group) for comparison. The two groups matched in a 1:4 ratio based on age, sex, body mass index, and follow-up time. The range of motion, Knee Society Score, revision rate, disease recurrence, wound complications, and the survivorship curve of Kaplan-Meier implant were assessed between the two groups. Results: All patients were followed up at least 5 years. There was no difference in range of motion and Knee Society Score between the two groups before surgery and at last follow-up after surgery (p > 0.05). In the PVNS group, no patients with the recurrence of PVNS were found at the last follow-up, one patient underwent revision surgery due to periprosthetic fracture, and three patients had stiffness one year after surgery (17.6% vs 1.5%, p = 0.005; ROM 16–81°), but no revision was needed.
