Abstract

Transient bone marrow edema syndrome (TMES) is a rare disease of unknown etiology. Diagnosis is made by exclusion. There is still controversy as to whether TMES is considered to be a reversible form of avascular necrosis (AVN), a disease entity of its own or a form of non-traumatic algodystrophy. We here describe the extremely rare occurrence of three cases of TMES that progressed to AVN.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
