Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare, by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology between patients with disk displacement with reduction (DDWR) with or without arthralgia and a control group and to identify which factors are associated with the concomitant presence of arthralgia in DDWR patients.
Study Design: In this investigation, 36 TMJ MRIs were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 (n = 12) comprised patients with DDWR and arthralgia; group 2 (n = 12) comprised patients with DDWR without arthralgia; and group 3 (n = 12) was the control group. Disk and mandibular condyle morphologies; articular eminence morphology and inclination; size of the mandibular fossa; joint space size; joint effusion; bone marrow of the mandibular condyle; and the relative signal intensity of retrodiscal tissue were evaluated.
Results: Fisher's exact test and 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed no significant differences (P > .05) between groups for any variable. Logistic regression analysis showed that no anatomic variables were related to the concomitant presence of arthralgia in patients with DDWR (P > .05).
Conclusions: As evaluated on MRI scans, no significant differences in the anatomic characteristics of the TMJ were detected between DDWR patients with or without concomitant arthralgia and the control group. There were no factors associated with the concomitant presence of arthralgia in patients with DDWR.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is an age-related disease displaying features of an aged immune system. This study aims to determine premature presence of immune ageing in the early stages of RA development, including in patients with clinically suspected arthralgia and undifferentiated arthritis.
Methods: We recruited 224 participants: 69 healthy controls (mean age 57.
Arthroscopic management of spinoglenoid notch cysts: with and without labral lesions.

Suprascapular neuropathy caused by spinoglenoid notch cysts (SGNCs) is a rare condition with unclear etiology, typically presenting with significant shoulder pain and weakness. This case report describes two patients who underwent arthroscopic decompression and cyst excision: one with a labral lesion and the other with an isolated cyst. The patient with labral involvement was treated via the labral repair approach, while the patient without labral pathology underwent a direct decompression of the cyst through the subacromial space.

The precipitation of cryoglobulins, serum immunoglobulins, below 37 °C defines the clinical cryoglobulinemic syndrome, a systemic vasculitis usually characterized by purpura, weakness, and arthralgia. In most cases, this condition is associated with chronic infection by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and can evolve into B-cell dysregulation and malignancies. The current literature on non-HCV-associated cryoglobulinemia is very limited, and little is known about the immunological and serological profile of affected patients.

Background: Dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are diseases of major human concern. Differential diagnosis of these three diseases is complicated in children and adolescents due to overlapping clinical features (signs, symptoms, and complete blood count results). Few studies have directly compared these three diseases.

Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) infection has been associated with inflammatory, autoimmune, and lymphoproliferative diseases with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Among patients with inflammatory rheumatological disease manifestations, cases of rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, polymyositis, and fibromyalgia, among others, have been reported. Another common feature of rheumatological diseases is the presence of joint manifestations, such as arthralgia and arthritis.
