Frequent questions

Below we list the most frequently asked questions about Rheumatology.

  • Cervical sprain, also known as whiplash, is an injury that affects the soft tissues of the neck, particularly ligaments, muscles and tendons, as a result of a sudden, sharp force that hyperextends or hyperflexes the neck.

  • Myofascial pain syndrome is a condition characterized by the presence of trigger points, which are areas located in the muscles and connective tissues that are sensitive to touch and can cause referred pain to other parts of the body.

  • Temporomandibular pain, often known as temporomandibular disorder or temporomandibular dysfunction, is a term used to describe a group of disorders that affect the temporomandibular joints and the muscles that control jaw movement.

  • Vertebral ankylosing hyperostosis, also known as Forestier disease or Forestier-Rotes-Querol syndrome, is a disease characterized by the abnormal formation of bone tissue in the vertebrae of the spine, which can lead to loss of mobility and stiffness.

  • Lumbar spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra in the lumbar (lower) spine slips forward over the vertebra below it. This displacement can occur due to various reasons, and it is classified based on the degree of slippage. The term "spondylolisthesis" is derived from the Greek words "spondylos," meaning spine, and "listhesis," meaning to slip or slide.

  • Paget's disease of bone, also known simply as Paget's disease or osteitis deformans, is a chronic bone disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling. In this condition, the normal process of bone resorption (the breaking down of old bone) and bone formation (the building of new bone) is disrupted. As a result, the affected bones become enlarged, structurally weak, and prone to deformities.

  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PNSV) is a joint disease characterized by inflammation of the synovial membrane, which is the lining of the joints. This inflammation can lead to the formation of synovial nodules or masses, which contain inflamed synovial tissue and the pigment hemosiderin, a breakdown product of hemoglobin.

  • Viral arthritis is a form of arthritis caused by viral infections. It is characterized by inflammation of the joints, which can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness. Various viruses can be associated with viral arthritis, and the clinical course and treatment may vary depending on the specific viral agent.

  • Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by a combination of clinical and laboratory features from various connective tissue diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), and polymyositis/dermatomyositis. It was first described in the 1970s and is considered an overlap syndrome due to the overlap of symptoms from different autoimmune conditions.

  • The anti-inflammatory diet is a dietary approach designed to reduce chronic inflammation in the body, a process associated with the development and progression of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain autoimmune conditions. While there isn't a standardized or universally agreed-upon anti-inflammatory diet, several dietary patterns and food components have been linked to anti-inflammatory effects in scientific literature.
