We describe a patient with acute calcific periarthritis in an unusual site, the ilio-femoral ligament. The clinical findings in this patient resembled those of septic arthritis. T2*-weighted images with gradient field echo clearly showed foci of low signal intensity in this region, corresponding to the calcification shown on plain radiographs, and increased signal intensity around the foci, representing edema. These signal intensities were diagnostic of the disease.
Thirty-five osteoporotic women, with a mean age of 69 years (range, 58-86 years), were treated by our "long-cycle" ADFR regime according to Frostian concept. Frostian concept is a rational therapeutic approach to manipulating the basic ARF sequence, named ADFR treatment. The effect of ADFR treatment on bone mass in osteoporotic women was examined at orgen level in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
