In this paper, we present the case of a 27-year-old male patient who was admitted to our clinic with bilateral drop foot and spastic paraplegia after the ingestion of organophosphate (chlorpyrifos) and diagnosed with organophosphate induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN). Patellar deep tendon reflexes were hyperactive, Achilles reflexes were absent, and patellar clonus were present bilaterally at the neurological examination. The results of electrophysiological studies were compatible with motor axonal polyneuropathy. The patient was admitted to the neurological rehabilitation program and was able to ambulate using a pair of plastic ankle-foot orthosis and walker. Six months after the baseline, Botulinum toxin type A was injected bilaterally to adductor magnus (100 U) and adductor longus (50 U) muscles. After the Botulinum toxin injection, spasticity of the hip adductor muscles was decreased from grade 4 to grade 3 according to the modified Ashworth scale. By the end of seven-month follow-up period, partial improvement was observed in the muscle strength of the patient, and he became independent in his daily activities. In this article, we discuss possible mechanisms of OPIDN, on the basis of clinical features and the rehabilitation process of a 27-year-old male patient diagnosed with OPIDN, with a review of the current literature.

This article presents a 47-year-old female patient who was concurrently diagnosed with sarcoidosis and axial spondyloarthritis. The coexistence of spondyloarthritis and sarcoidosis, the involvement of bone and sacroiliac synovium in sarcoidosis, and treatment options were discussed.

Pelvic digit is an unusual developmental anomaly in which bone develops in soft tissues adjacent to normal skeletal bone. It is an asymptomatic entity that is usually discovered incidentally. The importance of recognizing pelvic digit is in distinguishing it from post-traumatic ossification and avulsion injuries of the pelvis. We report pelvic digits discovered in plain films of two patients who presented with hip pain. One patient has accompanying femoroacetabular impingement on the same side, which may explain the presence of hip pain.

AimTo compare the Disease Activity Score with 28 joint (DAS28) using erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (DAS28-ESR) and DAS28 using C-reactive protein (CRP) (DAS28-CRP) with thresholds validated for DAS28-ESR in Turkish patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Background: Chronic heel pain with plantar fasciitis is relatively common and can affect adults of all ages regardless of an active or sedentary lifestyle. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of corticosteroid injection (CSI), extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), and radiofrequency thermal lesioning (RTL) treatments in chronic plantar heel pain that has been unresponsive to other conservative treatments. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the results of 217 patients treated with CSI (n= 73), ESWT (n= 75), and RTL (n= 69). The treatment efficacy and pain intensity, as measured using the visual analog scale, were recorded and compared at the 6-month follow-up. Results: Pain intensity decreased significantly in all patients. However, it decreased significantly more in the CSI and RTL groups than in the ESWT group (P .05). No complications were noted after the CSI, ESWT, or RTL sessions. Conclusion: CSI, ESWT, and RTL successfully treated chronic plantar heel pain that did not respond to other conservative treatments; however, CSI and RTL yielded better therapeutic outcomes.

Objectives: This study aims to explore current disease activity status and simultaneous pharmacological therapies in patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to determine the extent to which treatment targets are achieved.
