Cholinergic synovitis: Description of four cases.

We present the clinical and ultrasound findings of four patients with moderate synovitis and urticarial skin lesions associated with sports activity in warm environments. We include progress after treatment with hydroxycin. We suggest a causal relationship similar to cholinergic urticaria where the neighbouring synovium responds with effusion that self-limits once the triggering process has been halted.

Quality Health Care in Acute Shoulder Pain: What Is the Contribution of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound?

For the purpose of assessing the impact of ultrasound in patients with acute shoulder pain, we conducted an analysis of quality health care indicators: need for reevaluation of the pain, rate of referral to specialized medicine and length of time in the emergency department. We reviewed the 1,433 records of patients attended to between 2015 and 2016. Thirty days after the first examination, 90 patients (10.

[Demand for emergency department care for vertebral fractures treated with transdermal buprenorphine vs. other analgesics].

Objectives: To compare the results of emergency department management of spinal pain from vertebral fractures (in terms of revisits, adverse effects at 90 days, or need for hospitalization because of poor pain control at 6 months) in patients treated with transdermal buprenorphine or another analgesic.

Material And Methods: Retrospective observational study of cohorts in an emergency department database compiled prospectively over a period of 18 months. We included all patients over the age of 60 with a radiologic diagnosis of vertebral fracture or compression causing pain for more than 3 months.
