Disease relevance of Bursitis

• Salmon calcitonin (especially intranasal) provides an interesting analgesic effect in a series of painful conditions including reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, adhesive capsulitis, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, vertebral crush fractures and metastasis, phantom limb pain, etc [1].
• We have evaluated the prevalence of adhesive capsulitis, Dupuytren's contracture, trigger finger, limited joint mobility and carpal tunnel syndrome in a series of patients with various thyroid diseases and differing levels of function [2].
• Ultrasound (US) is used widely to treat patients with supraspinatus tendinitis, subacromial bursitis, or adhesive capsulitis (SSA) [3].
• We report a case of adhesive capsulitis of the hip in a patient with hypothyroidism and previous adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder who was receiving thyroid-hormone replacement [4].
• The repeatability and validity of a questionnaire for upper limb and neck complaints were assessed in a population of 105 hospital outpatients with a range of upper limb and neck disorders (including cervical spondylosis, adhesive capsulitis, lateral epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and Raynaud's phenomenon) [5].

High impact information on Bursitis

• Short course prednisolone for adhesive capsulitis [6].
• OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of intra-articular triamcinolone injection and physiotherapy singly or combined in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder [7].
• "Frozen shoulder," most often caused by adhesive capsulitis, is frequently treated with intra-articular steroid injections, physical therapy, and surgical manipulation under anesthesia [8].
• On oblique coronal T2-weighted images, a cut-off value of 3-mm thickness gave the highest diagnostic accuracy for adhesive capsulitis with sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 79% (11/14), 100% (14/14), and 89% (25/28) at the humeral side and 93% (13/14), 86% (12/14), and 89% (25/28) at the glenoid side, respectively [9].
• An increased prevalence of histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27 has been reported previously in patients with peri-arthritis or adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, or frozen shoulder (FS) [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Bursitis

• Optimal management of adhesive capsulitis remains unclear, but an intraarticular steroid injection appears beneficial at least in temporarily diminishing pain [11].
• Is intraarticular sodium hyaluronate injection an alternative treatment in patients with adhesive capsulitis [12]?
• Technetium-99m human immunoglobulin imaging in patients with subacromial impingement or adhesive capsulitis [13].
• OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of a combined technique of physical and ibuprofen for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis with ibuprofen alone [14].
• Intraarticular hyaluronan combined with triamcinolone acetonide and shoulder exercises may improve adhesive capsulitis [15].

Biological context of Bursitis

• OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a short course of prednisolone is superior to placebo for improving pain, function, and range of motion in adhesive capsulitis [16].

Gene context of Bursitis

• Alternatively, adhesive capsulitis may be a manifestation of hypoparathyroidism [17].
• Other non-rotator cuff disorders include synovial disorders such as adhesive capsulitis and synovial osteochondromatosis; degenerative disorders such as osteoarthritis, amyloid arthropathy, hemarthrosis, and chondrocalcinosis; infectious disorders such as septic arthritis and bursitis; and space-occupying lesions [18].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Bursitis

• Intraarticular injection of sodium hyaluronate plus steroid versus steroid in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder [15].
