Change in serum COMP concentration due to ambulatory load is not related to knee OA status.

30 Oct 2009 The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a change in serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) concentration is related to joint load during a 30-min walking exercise in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) ... Read more...

Medial knee joint loading increases in those who respond to hyaluronan injection for medial knee osteoarthritis.

30 Oct 2009 Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a cause of decline in function and the medial compartment is often affected. Intraarticular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) is indicated as a symptom modifying treatment with at least 6 months passing between ... Read more...

Immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sites with chronic periapical pathologic features combined with plasma rich in growth factors: preliminary results of single-cohort study.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of implants immediately placed into fresh extraction sockets of teeth affected by chronic periapical pathologic findings, using plasma rich in growth factors (PRGFs) ... Read more...
