Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint is a common disorder characterized by gradual increase pain and limitation in range motion joint. The pathophysiological process involves fibrous inflammation capsule leading to capsular thickening contracture. Intra-articular corticosteroid injection commonly performed patients with adhesive capsulitis. However, there no consensus as best site. Cortico...

OBJECTIVES Local corticosteroid infiltration is a common practice of treatment for lateral epicondylitis. In recent studies no statistically significant or clinically relevant results in favour of corticosteroid injections were found. The injection of autologous blood has been reported to be effective for both intermediate and long-term outcomes. It is hypothesised that blood contains growth fa...

CONTEXT Corticosteroid is a well-established cause of drug-induced pancreatitis. However, acute pancreatitis from intra-articular injection of corticosteroid has never been described. CASE REPORT A 69-year-old male presented with acute abdominal pain and was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. The patient had one episode of acute pancreatitis two year earlier. Both episodes occurred after intr...

BACKGROUND Variations in corticosteroid/anesthetic doses for injecting shoulder conditions were examined among orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and primary-care sports medicine (PCSMs) and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMRs) physicians to provide data needed for documenting inter-group differences for establishing uniform injection guidelines. METHODS 264 surveys, sent to these ...

set of CSCR following periocular corticosteroid injection with confirmation by OCT imaging. Periocular corticosteroids may be administered for the treatment of uveitis as well as postoperative CME. The presence of intraocular inflammation secondary to uveitis may affect the retinal pigment epithelial barrier and increase susceptibility to local periocular corticosteroid effects. A similar mecha...

BACKGROUND Intra-articular corticosteroid injection is often used to relieve pain caused by knee osteoarthritis. This study aims to assess the impact after an intra-articular corticosteroid injection treatment on objective and subjective measurement of physical function in knee osteoarthritis patients. METHODS Fourteen patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis participated in this open-lab...

statins have been reported to show preventive effect on nitrate tolerance in normal rats, but there are no reports on their effect in diabetic animals. in this study, diabetes was induced in male wistar rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (45 mg/kg). five groups of diabetic and five groups of normal rats were treated; groups 1 (of normal and diabetic rats) received ator...

INTRODUCTION With the increasing use of intravitreal administration of corticosteroids in macular edema, steroid-induced intraocular pressure (IOP) rise is becoming an emergent issue. However, for patients in whom intravitreal steroids are indicated, there are no specific recommendations for IOP monitoring and management after intravitreal administration of corticosteroids. METHOD An expert p...
