Although abundant evidence of concomitant cardiovascular disease is scattered throughout the literature on osteitis deformans, appreciation of the etiologic relationship between the two diseases has been lacking. This paper shows that cardiovascular disease accompanying extensive osteitis deformans may result from: (1) excessive demand on the heart from increased vascularity of affected bones; ...

BACKGROUND Osteitis pubis was first described in 1924 in patients who had had suprapubic surgery. Since that time many theories concerning the cause of the disease have been developed. Published case reports and retrospective record reviews of specific, isolated patient populations have been used to postulate an infectious, inflammatory, or traumatic cause of this condition. Such confusion redu...

Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis (SCCH) is a chronic osssifying diathesis affecting mostly juxtasternal structures and the inflammatory osteitis part of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, (SAPHO) syndrome.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is applied very successfully in treatment of various diseases such as chronic wounds. It has been already suggested as adjunctive treatment option for osteitis by immune- and fracture modulating effects. This study evaluates the importance of HBO in an early implant-associated localized osteitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (SA) compared to the standard therap...

INTRODUCTION The acronym SAPHO was introduced in 1987 to unify the various descriptions of a seronegative arthritis associated with skin manifestations and to show synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis with and without sterile multifocal osteomyelitis. The etiology of SAPHO syndrome is unknown, but an association with infection by semipathogenic bacteria like Propionibacterium...

Abstract Objectives Osteitis and tissue remodeling are inflammatory processes associated with the severity of chronic rhinosinusitis nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Nasal steroids mainly recommended therapeutics in treatment disease, besides their beneficial effects, they may worsen osteitis via osteopenia. This study aimed to search for coalescence CRSwNP steroid use (NSU). Methods A cross-sectional wa...
