The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis in cerebral palsy.

29 Sep 2009 The morphogenesis, remodeling, and degeneration of diarthroidial joints are directly under the control of the loading histories created by the musculoskeletal system during development and aging. The altered loading histories in individuals with ... Read more...

Effects of the cyclooxygenase inhibiting nitric oxide donator naproxcinod versus naproxen on systemic blood pressure in patients with osteoarthritis.

13 Sep 2009 Traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are associated with the destabilization of blood pressure (BP) control, particularly in hypertensive patients treated with blockers of the renin-angiotensin system. To assess the potential impact of ... Read more...

Responsiveness of the Effective Consumer Scale (EC-17).

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The Effective Consumer Scale (EC-17) comprises 17 items measuring the main skills and behaviors people need to effectively manage their healthcare. We tested the responsiveness of the EC-17. METHODS: Participants, in 2 waves of a 6-week ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Osteoarthritis'

Definition: A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
