Difference in cartilage proteoglycan level in synovial fluid in early rheumatoid arthritis and reactive arthritis.

Cartilage proteoglycans were measured, by the use of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in synovial fluids obtained from 109 unselected patients attending an outpatient rheumatology clinic because of inflammation of the knee. The content of proteoglycans in synovial fluid was inversely related to the degree of joint destruction shown on X-ray. The proteoglycan concentrations in knee-joint exuda

Total meniscectomy in adolescence : A thirty-year follow-up

We have carried out a prospective, longitudinal 30-year review of 95 adolescents who underwent total meniscectomy in one knee, and have compared the results with those observed 13 years earlier. All the medical records were scrutinized. Of the 63 patients reviewed clinically, 47 reported decreased sporting activity, although subjective satisfaction rose by 3% to 71%. The scores on the WOMAC ostcoa

Changes in joint cartilage aggrecan after knee injury and in osteoarthritis

Objective. To determine the concentrations of aggrecan fragments in synovial fluid from patients with knee joint injury, osteoarthritis (OA), or acute pyrophosphate arthritis (PPA; pseudogout), and to test their relative reactivity with the 846 epitope, a putative marker of cartilage aggrecan synthesis. Methods. Samples of knee joint fluid from 385 patients and 9 healthy-knee volunteers were obtai

Cartilage derived proteoglycans in body fluids of children. Inverse correlation with age.

We have previously shown synovial fluid (SF) proteoglycan concentrations to be sensitive markers of altered cartilage metabolism in arthritis. We determined the proteoglycan concentrations in sera and SF from 23 patients with juvenile chronic arthritis and in sera from 30 healthy children by a specific enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. In both groups of children, decreasing concentrations of prot

Resource Management for OFDMA based Next Generation 802.11 WLANs

Recently, IEEE 802.11ax Task Group has adapted OFDMA as a new technique for enabling multi-user transmission. It has been also decided that the scheduling duration should be same for all the users in a multi-user OFDMA so that the transmission of the users should end at the same time. In order to realize that condition, the users with insufficient data should transmit null data (i.e. padding) to f
