Everything Everywhere All at Once: Sausage fingers

The candidates for the Academy Awards for Best Picture were revealed on January 24, and Everything Everywhere All at Once lead with 11 categories; the sci-fi comedy jabs about an ailment known colloquially as " sausage fingers," but technically known as dactylitis.

The winners will be announced on March 12 during a ceremony. While its protagonist Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh), a Chinese immigrant in the United States, sees her world transformed in numerous dimensions, when her hands are stretched, they take on an unusual shape: irony adds value since the components may be sprayed to make a hot dog.

What are 'sausage fingers'?

Personalities such as Carlos III have attracted attention for displaying swelling in one (or more) toes or fingers, which can extend to the wrist area.

Dactylitis, according to Juan Carlos Torre Alonso of the Rheumatology Unit at the Monte Naranco Hospital of the University of Oviedo in Spain, can be caused by an infection or by autoimmune illnesses such as any of the following: 

*spondyloarthropathies

*psoriatic arthritis

*Drop

*Sarcoidosis

*Tuberculosis

Those affected are mainly the joints, tendons and ligaments, which is why they can become inflamed and give an appearance similar to that of a sausage, which is why it is popular to call the condition that way.

The types of dactylitis

This illness can be uncomfortable since it impairs movement; however, it is not always one of the symptoms. Dactylitis is classified into two types:

1. Acute dactylitis is distinguished by the presence of discomfort in addition to swelling.

2. Subacute or chronic disease: Unlike acute disease, many who suffer from this form of disease describe it as painless, allowing it to persist.
