Abstract

We describe a case of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE syndrome) in a 66-year-old man. This report discusses magnetic resonance imaging findings of RS3PE syndrome and the changes after steroid therapy.

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.
