Abstract:

Abstract Musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA), lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) and osteoporosis (OP), are common complex disorders affected by both environmental and genetic factors. OA and LDD are degenerative diseases affecting joints and spine and Modic changes (MC) are a specific phenotype of LDD. OP is a disorder causing bone fragility. There are families with a history of early onset cartilage degradation, disc disorders and bone fragility as well as rare, more severe disorders with these traits as part of the phenotype. The aim of this study was to identify predisposing

Abstract:

The effects of pain suffered from musculoskeletal disorders by dental professionals may lead to reduced work hours, loss of production, and early retirement. Although third- and fourth-year dental students are provided lectures about musculoskeletal disorders, proper positioning and ergonomics, they are at an increased risk of developing MSD. This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence on musculoskeletal disorders in third- and fourth-year dental students and to determine if third-year dental students experience more MSD pain than fourth-year dental students at the University of Tennes

Background: A recent shift in the global burden of disease from communicable to noncommunicable has shown that a third of the global burden of disease is attributable to noncommunicable disease, with the heaviest burden affecting poor communities in urban areas. Musculoskeletal disease (MSD) is the most common cause of severe chronic or persistent pain, functional limitations, and physical disability, affecting 20-50% of adults. Globally, disability due to musculoskeletal disease is estimated to have increased by 45% from 1990 to 2010 accounting for 6.8% of total years lived with disability. R

Abstract:

Introduction First described in 2002, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ, or avascular necrosis of the jaw) is an uncommon but potentially serious side effect of treatment with bisphosphonates. Although typically identified in patients with multiple myeloma and other malignancies, a few cases have been reported in patients taking bisphosphonates - a potent drug class used in the treatment of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption issues, including postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma, and malignant hypercalcemia. The clinical diagnosis of ONJ can be obscured by jaw pain, absc

Abstract Recent studies in adults have shown that musculoskeletal (MS) pains are often experienced at several body sites. The number of pain sites has been shown to be proportional to poor health outcomes, such as functional ability and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study investigated the occurrence and persistence of MS pain in multiple locations, determinants of multiple-site pain, and the impact of multiple-site pain on HRQoL and health care use among adolescents aged 16 to 19.

Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has excellent soft tissue contrast, which can be enhanced by different contrast agents, multiplanar imaging capability and high temporal and spatial resolution. Even blood vessels can be easily visualised, and MRI parameters are sensitive to temperature. Therefore, MRI has the greatest potential for guiding and monitoring interventional and surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to design and evaluate new solutions for MR-guided procedures and surgery, to develop the technique and to assess the feasibility of MR-guided nerve root infilt

Arthrogryposis, a congenital disorder characterized by multiple joint contractures, can limit one’s ability to perform even the simplest of tasks. The purpose of this paper is to outline the general limitations associated with arthrogryposis and examine the most common corrective procedures used to treat and manage deformities of the lower extremities. While the ultimate goal may be complete correction of the associated deformities, this may not be practical, as recurrence of contractures is common.

"Ghost of a Life Long Past" is a memoir about the necessity of movement and physicality. It chronicles the author's life, both before and after a skiing accident that left him with quadriplegia. The memoir is split into two alternating narratives. One follows the author's post-accident journey to regain physicality and the ability to move through the world and function in his environment. The other is a series of flashbacks, looking[at] the author's pre-accident childhood in Juneau, Alaska. Themes include independence, travel, sports, disability, and the need to test the limits of ones body.

Avian leukosis virus (ALV)-induced osteopetrosis is a proliferative disorder of the bone affecting the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts.

Osteopetrotic bone is also characterized by the accumulation of unintegrated viral DNA, suggesting an atypical life cycle of the virus in the infected osteoblasts.

Abstract:

Osteoclast-mediated focal articular bone erosion is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis, a disease of inflammation-induced bone loss. Inflammation in the bone microenvironment enhances osteoclast differentiation leading to bone erosion. Simultaneously, inflammation also inhibits osteoblast-mediated bone formation, further contributing to the net loss of bone. Previous studies have shown a paucity of mature osteoblasts at eroded bone surfaces correlating with suppression of bone formation and upregulation of antagonists of the Wnt pathway, a signaling cascade essential for osteoblast lineage com

Despite extensive research into musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) they continue to plague workers. Manual materials handling (MMH), in particular the concurrence of load manipulation and awkward body posture, has been identified as a key factor in the onset of MSDs. Only a few studies have looked at the interaction between manipulation tasks and working posture during assembly tasks and as a result their relationship has not been widely explored. Assessing the stresses resulting from individual task factors and body posture in isolation and adding them together may be too simplified to estimate

Abstract:

Cartilage Tissue Engineering. Joint pain and functional impairment due to cartilage damage from osteoarthritis and other means is a major source of disability for adults the world over. Cartilage is an avascular tissue with a very limited capacity for self repair. Current medical and surgical approaches to cartilage repair also have limited efficacy, and in all cases fail to completely restore a normal, healthy cartilage phenotype.
