Mechanisms of OA/ Imaging Appearance

چکیده
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting about 15% of persons over 60 years of age. Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of disability and a major source of pain and functional limitations. Up to one-half of people aged 50 and over report knee pain during the course of the year, and a quarter have severe and disabling pain. With the aging population and increasing occurrence of obesity, the prevalence of OA may double between 2000 and 2020. Health care costs of osteoarthritis are up to $200 billion annually in the U.S.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pre and 4 Months Post 6 Physiotherapy Treatments for OA Knee Pain - A Pilot Study
The source of osteoarthritic (OA) knee pain is perplexing. Bone marrow Lesions (BMLs) and the Infrapatellar Fat Pad (IPFP) are hypothesized to cause symptoms in this patient population. With escalating costs for OA treatment, physiotherapy could be an inexpensive option for managing OA knee pain. The aim of this study was to examine the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of OA knee pain patients,...
متن کاملThe relationship between clinical characteristics, radiographic osteoarthritis and 3D bone area: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
BACKGROUND Radiographic measures of osteoarthritis (OA) are based upon two dimensional projection images. Active appearance modelling (AAM) of knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables accurate, 3D quantification of joint structures in large cohorts. This cross-sectional study explored the relationship between clinical characteristics, radiographic measures of OA and 3D bone area (tAB). M...
متن کاملPrevalence of Knee OA in Karate Community in Indonesia
Background. Osteoarthritis (OA) ranks fifth in the most disabling conditions. Karate is an unarmed combat sport that uses hands and feet to deliver and block blows. The karate movements, such as high load and frequent flexion and extension of the knee, make the athletes susceptible to knee injuries and progress to knee OA (KOA). Objectives. The study aims to address the prevalence and risk fac...
متن کاملAnalysis of MRI for knee osteoarthritis using machine learning
Approximately 8.5 million people in the UK (13.5% of the population) have osteoarthritis (OA) in one or both knees, with more than 6 million people in the UK suffering with painful osteoarthritis of the knee. In addition, an ageing population implies that an estimated 17 million people (twice as many as in 2012) are likely to be living with OA by 2030. Despite this, there exists no disease modi...
متن کاملCombination of lateral and PA view radiographs to study development of knee OA and associated pain
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people around the world. The effects of the disease have been studied using the shape and texture features of bones in PosteriorAnterior (PA) and Lateral radiographs separately. In this work we compare the utility of features from each view, and evaluate whether combining features from both is advantageous. We ...
