Multiple-day administration of parecoxib 40 mg twice daily is more effective than equivalent doses of lornoxicam and diclofenac, and generally better tolerated than diclofenac after Lichtenstein tension-free mesh inguinal hernia repair.
The authors describe the clinical, bone scintigraphy, and histopathologic findings of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), which is considered to be part of the SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) syndrome. Knowledge of this disorder may help in the differential diagnosis of arthritis, and it will help avoid repeated biopsies. We report the case of a 52-year-old man who was admitted to hospital due to an accidental finding in plain X-rays during his first check-up of his health status. He underwent laboratory tests, imaging examinations, and biopsy and histopathologic examinations of bone tissue; and was diagnosed with the SAPHO syndrome (CRMO).
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.
