Abstract

Background: Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by its classic radiographic feature of flowing/dripping candle wax. It usually affects one limb, more often the lower extremity, and rarely the axial skeleton. The etiology remains unknown and various theories have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of this disease. It often has an insidious onset in early adult life. Symptoms include pain, oedema, and limitation of joint movement.Case presentation: A patient aged 25 year old male complaint of pain on the left lower extremity for the last 3 years. There is muscle atrophy at left extremity, bowing of the thigh, awelling at the foot. There is palpable mass at the left bottom, solid consistency and fixed. There are also limitation ROM of hip, knee and ankle. From the radiography examination showed inhomogen thickening of the periosteal cortical and endosteal, dripping candle wax appearance, and sclerotic lesion at soft tissue.Conculsion: X-ray is a sufficient method for diagnosis of melorheostosis.Other imaging techniques are essential for decision about therapeutic intervention (CT or MRI). Laboratory findings are usually in physiological range. Symptomatic therapy proved to be sufficient in subjective symptoms management.Keywords: Melorheostosis, sclerosing bone dysplasia, dripping candle waxCorrespondence: Pamudji Utomo.

Giving cinnamon extract to male white rats with hyperuricemia has the effect of reducing uric acid levels, because the extract of cinnamon contains Polyphenols namely Sinamldehid which is high enough (68.65%) to be a source of antioxidant compounds which can inhibit Xanthine Oxidase Enzine. This study aimed to analyze the therapy of dekokta cinnamon with honey to reduce uric acid for people with gout.Subjects and Method: This was a quasi experiment with pre and post-test design. The study was conducted in Gambirsari Community Health Center, Kadipiro Subdistrict, Mojosongo, Surakarta, Central Java, in May 2018.

In the control group, Allopurinol 100 mg was given for 1 week, with a dose of once a day. The data were analyzed by Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney est.Results: Uric acid in decoction cinnamon with honey group was lower than in control group and it was statistically significant (p= 0.023).Conclusion: Decoction cinnamon with honey can reduce uric acid level among gout patients.Keywords: cinnamon, decoction, honey, goutCorrespondence: Yeti Nurhayati.
