Osteoarthritis of the Knee in Carpet Fitters and Carpet and Floor Layers

Osteoarthritis of the Knee in Carpet Fitters and Carpet and Floor Layers
By:"Industrial Injuries Advisory Council","Great Britain. Department for Work and Pensions"
Published on 2010-11-23 by The Stationery Office

This review sets out the case for prescription for osteoarthritis of the knee in construction trades, including carpet fitters and carpet floor layers. The report follows the addition of OA of the knee to the list of prescribed diseases for coal miners and a subsequent scoping exercise in other occupations involving significant knee straining activity. The present review considered both the direct research evidence and the scope for combining direct and indirect research. In the event ample direct evidence was found that the risk of OA of the knee is more than doubled in those working for at least 20 years in aggregate as carpet fitters or carpet and floor layers. Accordingly the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council (IIAC) recommends prescription in these cases. For the purpose of the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit scheme a diagnosis of OA of the knee should be based on knee pain, swelling, stiffness and restricted movement and, if possible, x-ray evidence of stage 3-4 on the Kellgren-Lawrence scale, but should also be accepted in those who are on a surgical waiting list for knee replacement or have had knee replacement previously. By contrast the review suggests that direct evidence of risk of knee OA in other construction trades is sparse and far from compelling and the IIAC does not recommend prescription for those but will continue to monitor emerging evidence

Multimodal Management of Canine Osteoarthritis

Multimodal Management of Canine Osteoarthritis
By:"Steven M Fox","Darryl Mills"
Published on 2010-03-30 by CRC Press

As more is learned about the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis, we are also becoming more aware of how to implement treatments. This book takes an evidence-based approach to the canine patient with osteoarthritis, pursuing the objective of the best available medicine by a variety of means—multiple drugs, agents, adjuncts and delivery methods. Appreciating that surgical intervention may initially be required, particularly for stabilizing a joint, the major focus in this work is the conservative management of osteoarthritis. A clear and visual approach is taken with the overlapping of two three-pointed triangles of management: medical and non-medical.

Adaptation to Early Knee Osteoarthritis

Adaptation to Early Knee Osteoarthritis
By:
Published on 2008 by ProQuest

Arthritis is currently the main cause of disability in this country. Specifically, knee osteoarthritis (KOA), is associated with significant mobility impairment and disability progression. Although radiographic joint changes are usually used to diagnose osteoarthritis and can contribute to how much pain and functional ability one has, these assessments do not predict the level of OA symptoms. Psychosocial factors have been shown to predict future pain and disability over and above disease or injury markers; however, these factors have rarely been studied in the prediction of progression of pain and disability for KOA patients, directly or in comparison to the impact of disease status.

Management of Knee Osteoarthritis in the Younger, Active Patient

Management of Knee Osteoarthritis in the Younger, Active Patient
By:"David A. Parker"
Published on 2016-01-05 by Springer

\u200bThis book is a rich source of practical guidance on the management of relatively young patients with osteoarthritis of the knee that will assist physicians and allied health professionals in enabling patients to remain active and sustain their quality of life. It provides up-to-date knowledge on the available treatment options, describes the evidence base for each option, and identifies the appropriate timing and indications. The book opens by considering the basic science behind osteoarthritis, which is critical to management. The many nonsurgical treatment modalities are then discussed, with particular focus on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. Subsequent chapters address the role of surgical management, covering both techniques that attempt to preserve and possibly restore the native knee joint, such as meniscal and chondral surgery, arthroscopic debridement, and osteotomy for realignment of the joint, and those that involve joint replacement. The arthroplasty component of the text encompasses all areas of prosthetic resurfacing, including localized resurfacing, unicompartmental replacement, and total knee replacement. The book has been produced in cooperation with ISAKOS and the authors constitute an international faculty who provide a truly global perspective on the subject.

Cartilage and Osteoarthritis

Cartilage and Osteoarthritis
By:"Massimo Sabatini","Philippe Pastoureau","Frédéric De Ceuninck"
Published on 2004-01-01 by Springer Science & Business Media

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, imposes a significant burden of suffering on a growing population of the elderly. Even today, its poorly understood pathophysiology limits the discovery of molecular targets for pharmacological intervention and there are few effective medical treatments beyond pain control and surgery. In Cartilage and Osteoarthritis a distinguished panel of researchers, physicians, and opinion leaders in this challenging field describe their updated classical, but still evolving, techniques, as well as many emerging methods that promise to add significantly to our understanding of cartilage metabolism in health and disease. Volume 2: Structure and In Vivo Analysis, offers cutting-edge procedures for studies-at the tissue level-of turnover, structure, and functioning in normal and diseased cartilage by invasive and noninvasive means. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular MedicineTM series format, each one offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. A companion volume, Volume 1: Cellular and Molecular Tools, describes proven molecular and cellular techniques for the in vitro study of normal and osteoarthritic cartilage through biochemical, biomolecular, immunological, and physical approaches, with emphasis on the genetic manipulation of cells. Comprehensive and up-to-date, the two volumes of Cartilage and Osteoarthritis provide researchers and bench scientists alike with an indispensable collection of readily reproducible protocols for new experiments-from the cellular to the animal level-designed to more clearly describe the pathophysiology of cartilage, as well as to discover novel molecular targets for pharmacological intervention.

Clinical Trials in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis

Clinical Trials in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
By:"David Reid","Colin Miller"
Published on 2008-03-20 by Springer Science & Business Media

Designed to be a practical handbook on clinical trial management in these key therapeutic areas, 'Clinical Trials in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis' is aimed at principal investigators pharmaceutical physicians and other pharmaceutical staff involved in the design, conduct and monitoring of these increasingly complex diseases. In the last several years a new classes of biologic agents have emerged and changed the treatment paradigm for patients, not only with classically defined rheumatoid arthritis, but also with other related diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis. Furthermore, osteoarthritis is a major disease state that is often treated by the rheumatologist, but is one where patient management programs are currently limited with a need for new therapeutic approaches. In both inflammatory and non-inflammatory arthritic conditions, clinical trials have become both large and complex due to the nature of the diseases, with ever-challenging new surrogate end-points being employed. Topics covered in this title will therefore include study design, clinical endpoints, technical issues, data collection, use of centralized medical image reading facilities and biochemical marker laboratories, as well as data analysis and future therapies. This book takes the user through the process step-by-step from start to finish, also providing a background on the regulatory guidelines, ethical implications, endpoints, and current therapies.

The Many Faces of Osteoarthritis
By:"Vincent C. Hascall","Klaus E. Kuettner"
Published on 2012-12-06 by Birkhäuser

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint pathology which primarily affects the older population. The disease is characterized by unique pathological changes in some synovial joints, predominantly affecting the articular cartilage, but also entire joints, including the synovial tissue and subchondral bone. The remarkable growth of research on normal and abnormal biology of tissues in the articulating joint, including the application of novel molecular biological approaches and new imaging techniques, is reflected in this volume. It describes the current state of knowledge and helps to further understand the etiopathology of osteoarthritis, hopefully leading to early detection of the disease and novel treatment modalities. The volume contains contributions and discussions from a select group of investigators, all experts in this field, who met at the conference \
