Objective Crowned dens syndrome (CDS), caused by calcium pyrophosphate or hydroxyapatite deposition around the odontoid process, is an under‐recognized cause of acute severe neck pain and headache. It can closely mimic septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, giant cell arteritis (GCA), polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), or cervical spondylitis. We report a case of

A Case of Pseudogout in an Adolescent on Isotretinoin
Pseudogout or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease rarely occurs in the young. Known risk factors for pseudogout include age, previous surgery, trauma, metabolic conditions, and medications. Isotretinoin, a retinoid frequently used to control acne vulgaris, is known to cause arthralgia, arthritis, and myalgia.

Introduction Patients with diabetes on hemodialysis (HD) have higher mortality and poorer health‐related quality of life than those without diabetes. In this setting, glycated hemoglobin is of limited value, whereas glycemic variability (GV) may better guide diabetes management and therapeutic monitoring. We aimed to identify factors associated with GV

Chondrocalcinosis in elderly persons [PDF]
AbstractFifty‐eight elderly people were surveyed for chondrocalcinosis with knee, hip and pelvic roent‐genograms using Type M industrial x‐ray film. Chondrocalcinosis was found in 16 subjects (27.6%), an incidence greater than reported in previous studies. Roentgenograms of the knees alone showed the presence of chondrocalcinosis in 15 subjects.
