Remitting seronegative symmetric synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) with painful erythematous nodules

Abstract

Remitting seronegative symmetric synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is an uncommon syndrome characterised by acute onset severe synovitis of the radiocarpal and small joints of the hands, with associated pitting edema. Discussed here is the case of a 69-year-old man who presented to the emergency department of a tertiary hospital with acute bilateral hand swelling. This was on a background of a recent diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the caecum and subsequent hemicolectomy. There was a history of general malaise, fever and lethargy for 5 days prior to the swelling of the hands. On examination, the upper limbs were swollen to the elbow bilaterally. Painful erythematous nodules were noted on the dorsal and palmar aspects of the hands and violaceous periungual discolouration was observed on the right fourth and fifth fingers. Prednisolone was commenced resulting in a dramatic resolution of the articular and cutaneous manifestations within 3 weeks.

Effect of Aluminium Substitution on Physical Adsorption of Chloride and Sulphate Ions in Cement-Based Materials

“…Rao [19] et al used the double electric layer (EDL) theory to explain the adsorption effect of C-S-H gel surface on chloride ions. According to the research of Kevin [20], because the surface layer of cement has a negative charge, it can react with Ca 2+ and Na + in an alkaline pore solution to form the stern layer. The existence of a stern layer will cause the surface layer of cement to be positively charged, thus promoting the diffusion of anions to the surface layer of the cement.…”
