The key to addressing eDiscovery is to be proactive in the management of information and records with control over the handling of potential ediscovery requests. eDiscovery is short for electronic discovery, which is defined as the process of discovery in civil litigation that is carried out in electronic formats. It encompasses what most often is referred to as electronically stored information, or ESI. Examples of the types of ESI included are emails, instant messaging chats, documents, accounting databases, CAD/CAM files, Web sites, and any other electronic information that could be relevant evidence in a lawsuit.
Ganglion cysts. Ganglion cysts are lumps that form next to the joints or tendons in the hand and wrist. The most common locations are the joints at the base of the fingers (metacarpophalangeal joint or MCP), joints closest to the nail (distal phalangeal joint or DP), the top of the wrist and the palm side of the wrist.
Gout is another cause of lumps on the finger joints. These lumps are called âtophiâ and consist of collections of monosodium urate crystals, inflammatory cells, and fibrous tissue. People with elevated blood lipids can develop lumps on the finger joints due to the accumulation of cholesterol. Plant thorn synovitis is a condition caused by the puncture of a rose thron into the joint. This leads to infection in the joint and is an unusual but dangerous cause of lumps on the finger joint. This is considered a surgical emergency. Unusual diseases like histiocytosis can also cause lumps.
