This study describes numerous characteristics of comorbidities and geriatric syndromes in elderly osteoarthritis patients at the National Geriatrics Hospital. A cross-sectional on 184 knee (OA) aged ≥ 60 years old treated The mean age was 73.12 ± 8.62 years, male accounted for 83.7%. Most participants (85.9%) had experienced 2 sides OA, more than half these (63.6%) were experiencing moderate pa...

Es gibt viele Studien, die nicht-pharmakologische Behandlungsmöglichkeiten bei einer Osteoarthritis (OA) evaluierten, bisher es jedoch wenige Interventionen, speziell auf Reduzierung der Schmerzempfindlichkeit abzielen. Pedersini et al. bewerteten in vorliegender Studie Wirksamkeit neurodynamischen Mobilisationstechniken im Vergleich zu passiven robotischen physiologischen Bewegungen Patienten ...

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most common musculoskeletal disorders affecting millions of people throughout different races in different ages and sexes Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in a group of Egyptian patients with primary knee Osteoarthritis (OA) and to detect its relation to the clinical, functional and radi...

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) affects the joint beyond just the articular cartilage. Specifically, magnetic resonance imagingidentifiedbone marrow lesions (BML) in the subchondral bone have both clinical and pathophysiological significance.Compared to joint space narrowing on traditional radiographs, the presence of BMLs has been better correlated withseverity of clinical symptoms ...

The authors review the primary and secondary risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA), its pathophysiology and epidemiology, the evidence-based approaches to slowing progression, and the role of nurses encountering OA in primary care and other settings.

BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is thought to be the most prevalent chronic and disabling joint disease in animals and humans. At present, there is no ideal treatment option. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of the treatment with oral diacerein on articular cartilage, synovial membrane and subchondral bone in an experimental rabbit model of osteoarthritis by micro-CT evaluation and his...

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...

Osteoarthritis is currently one of the most common chronic diseases. As life expectancy increases, its prevalence and incidence are expected to rise. At present, more evidences prove correlation between complement system osteoarthritis (OA). This study aims investigate C5's influence on effect MK801 synovial fibroblasts (OA-SFs). We used IL-1b induce OA-SFs derived from mice obtain OA-SFs. And ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is no consensus on the impact of radiographic severity of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) on the clinical outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We assessed whether preoperative radiographic severity of OA is related to improvements in functioning, pain, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) 1 year after THA or TKA. PATIEN...
