021 PREDICTION OF INCIDENT CONSTANT AND INTERMITTENT KNEE PAIN BY CARTILAGE THICKNESS AND T2 VALUES: DATA FROM THE OAI
Performance of the Physical Functioning Activities of Daily Living Scale in the 2020 Medicare Health Outcomes Survey
ObjectiveAssessing functional limitations for adults at high risk of frailty yields valuable information for identifying those in need of therapy. We evaluate a self-report measure used to assess physical function among Medicare recipients in the United States.DesignSecondary analysis of the 2020 Medicare Health Outcomes Survey.SettingA random samp...
An Achilles Tendinopathy Educational Intervention for Generalist Physicians Raises Awareness and Improves Knowledge for ...
BackgroundAchilles tendinopathy can be a devastating condition in ballet dancers. Initial medical evaluation is frequently conducted by generalist physicians, who may lack the perspective of dance and sports medicine focused training and often prescribe complete rest for chronic overuse injuries. In order to provide targeted information about Achil...
Review of state-of-the-art micro and macro-bioreactors for the intervertebral disc
Lower back pain continues to be a global epidemic, limiting quality of life and ability to work, due in large part to symptomatic disc degeneration. Development of more effective and less invasive biological strategies are needed to treat disc degeneration. In vitro models such as macro- or micro-bioreactors or mechanically active organ-chips hold ...
Neighborhood Income Is Associated with Health Care Use in Pediatric Short Bowel Syndrome
ObjectiveTo evaluate associations between neighborhood income and burden of hospitalizations for children with short bowel syndrome (SBS).Study designWe used the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database to evaluate associations between neighborhood income and hospital readmissions, readmissions for central line-associated bloodstream inf...
Breath-Hold Diving Injuries — A Primer for Medical Providers
AbstractBreath-hold divers, also known as freedivers, are at risk of specific injuries that are unique from those of surface swimmers and compressed air divers. Using peer-reviewed scientific research and expert opinion, we created a guide for medical providers managing breath-hold diving injuries in the field. Hypoxia induced by prolonged apnea an...
Predictors of response in PROMIS-global in a chronic low back pain specialty clinic: STarTBack and chronic overlapping p...
BackgroundTools, such as the STarTBack Screening Tool (SBT), have been developed to identify risks of progressing to chronic disability in low back pain (LBP) patients in the primary care population. However, less is known about predictors of change in function after treatment in the specialty care population.ObjectiveWe pursued a retrospective obs...
Measuring pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics: Contemporary perspectives
Priming Chondrocytes During Expansion Alters Cell Behavior and Improves Matrix Production in 3D Culture
ObjectiveCartilage tissue engineering strategies that use autologous chondrocytes require in vitro expansion of cells to obtain enough cells to produce functional engineered tissue. However, chondrocytes dedifferentiate during expansion culture, limiting their ability to produce chondrogenic tissue and their utility for cell-based cartilage repair ...
