Rheumatism is a medical condition of painful inflammation in muscles, joints, or connective tissue. If you volunteer to help an elderly woman with rheumatism in her hands, you might help her write, or carry her bags.

There is a close overlap between the term soft tissue disorder and rheumatism. Sometimes the term "soft tissue rheumatic disorders" is used to describe these conditions.

Doctors who have undergone formal training in rheumatology are called rheumatologist([ˌruməˈtɑlədʒi] the area of medicine that deals with rheumatism.

Rheumatic fever (RF) 风湿热 is an inflammatory disease that can involve the heart, joints, skin, and brain. The disease typically develops two to four weeks after a streptococcal throat infection. Signs and symptoms include fever, multiple painful joints, involuntary muscle movements, and occasionally a characteristic non-itchy rash known as erythema marginatum. The heart is involved in about half of the cases. Damage to the heart valves, known as rheumatic heart disease (RHD), usually occurs after repeated attacks but can sometimes occur after one. The damaged valves may result in heart failure, atrial fibrillation and infection of the valves. Rheumatic fever may occur following an infection of the throat by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes. If the infection is left untreated, rheumatic fever occurs in up to three percent of people. The underlying mechanism is believed to involve the production of antibodies against a person's own tissues. Due to their genetics, some people are more likely to get the disease when exposed to the bacteria than others. Other risk factors include malnutrition and poverty. Diagnosis of RF is often based on the presence of signs and symptoms in combination with evidence of a recent streptococcal infection.

In you go'," she told police. The girl was ferried back and forth from the brothel in an Uber — the cost of which was deducted from her pay.

 Biden and DeSantis project unity amid Ian's devastation - Biden and DeSantis show friendly cooperation after president surveys 视察 Florida storm damage: Biden inspects Hurricane Ian relief efforts in Fort Myers. 'We're not leaving until this gets done.' President Joe Biden spent Wednesday afternoon in southwest Florida surveying damage inflicted in Florida by Hurricane Ian, and pledged a sustained U.S. effort as the region continues its recovery and begins to rebuild. The Florida trip came two days after Biden visited Puerto Rico to inspect damage inflicted by Hurricane Fiona. The president's meeting with Republican governor brings the two political rivals face to face just weeks ahead of November's midterm elections. President Joe Biden was profuse in his praise ( profuse [prəˈfjus] I. existing or being produced in large amounts. If you offer profuse apologies 抱歉万分 or thanks 不吝感激之词, 不吝赞美, you apologize or thank someone a lot. Then the police officer recognised me, breaking into profuse apologies. They were very grateful to be put right and thanked me profusely. profuse apologies. II. Profuse sweating, bleeding, or vomiting is sweating, bleeding, or vomiting large amounts. ...a remedy that produces profuse sweating. He was bleeding profusely. Profusely sweating and quivering with chills, he murmured his last words. ) for Gov. Ron DeSantis during his remarks after a Wednesday briefing on the storm. Hurricane-ravaged Fort Myers on Wednesday served as the scene of a brief pause in hostilities between Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Joe Biden, two political foes now working "hand-in-glove" 紧密合作, 密切合作 ( in close collusion or association. If you work hand in glove with someone, you work very closely with them. The U.N. inspectors work hand in glove with the Western intelligence agencies. "they were working hand in glove with our enemies". working together, often to do something dishonest: It was rumoured at the time that some of the gangs were working hand in glove with the police. )  to rebuild a decimated 摧毁的 region. "Mr. President, welcome to Florida. We appreciate working together across various levels of government 各级政府," DeSantis said, introducing Biden for remarks. Biden responded: "Gov and first lady, thank you very much for the hospitality 热情款待." The exchange could only exist in the wake of a natural disaster that requires an enormous bipartisan response. DeSantis has been one of Biden's fiercest critics as he builds a potential 2024 White House bid. The two have sparred on Covid response, support for the LGBTQ community and, most recently, DeSantis tapping into a $12 million program to fly mostly Venezuelan migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard. Biden previously called the transports "reckless," echoing Democratic opponents in Florida who have sued to stop the program they say uses vulnerable migrants as 2022 midterm political props 政治道具. Hurricane Ian, though, is poised to be one of Florida's most damaging storms in recent memory. The Category 4 storm slammed into southwest Florida with 150 mile-per-hour winds and 10 foot storm surges that destroyed parts of coastal Lee County, and as of Tuesday night left 72 people dead in multiple counties. That number is expected to grow. The president's accolades 赞誉之词 will likely to help insulate DeSantis from critics who have suggested the governor didn't do enough to warn residents ahead of the hurricane. Some have pointed to DeSantis' administration timing and messaging surrounding evacuations ahead of the storm as a potential misstep that could have left people in harm's way. The New York Times reported that Lee County officials did not follow their own evacuation guidelines, though they have since defended their performance, and DeSantis has publicly supported the local officials. "I think he's done a good job," Biden said on Wednesday when asked about DeSantis' performance in dealing with the storm. "We have very different political philosophies, but we've worked hand-in-glove. In dealing with this crisis, we've been in complete lockstep 同进同退, 共进退." Over 97 percent of the state has power restored, DeSantis said in his own remarks on Wednesday. The governor described a massive effort by search and rescue teams to save 2,500 survivors. "We are cutting through the bureaucracy," DeSantis said, thanking those at every level of government for the "team effort." For residents of Florida affected by the storm, the most important step now is registering to see what resources they may be eligible for, Biden said. He added that "we're going to try to speed" up the phone-wait times for help with additional personnel. In one odd moment, Biden implied that DeSantis has fully "recognized" global warming, terminology DeSantis does not use. While in Fort Myers, Biden and the first lady also planned to meet with small-business owners and local residents affected by Hurricane Ian.
