2. 1. On assessment methods related to pain in dogs with osteoarthritis

   Author : Ann Essner; Karin Hellström; Lena Zetterberg; Rita Sjöström; Pia Gustås; Patricia Hedenqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; assessment methods; behavior; canine; chronic pain; heart rate variability; measurement properties; osteoarthritis; physiotherapy; rehabilitation; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

   Abstract : There is a need of valid and reliable assessment methods that are clinically applicable in canine rehabilitation practice. The aim of this thesis was to psychometrically evaluate measurement properties in assessment methods related to pain in naturally occurring canine osteoarthritis. READ MORE

4. 2. Osteoarthritis. Epidemiologic and genetic aspects

   Author : Jonas Franklin; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; body mass index; knee; hip; epidemiology; Osteoarthritis; occupation; hip fracture; inheritance; natural history;

   Abstract : The purpose of this study was to (I) assess the association between body mass index (BMI) and total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR) due to osteoarthritis (OA), (II) assess the association between the mechanical load of work and THR and TKR due to OA, (III) evaluate the natural history of radiographic hip OA with regards to THR and hip fracture, (IV) to determine the prevalence of radiographic OA in patients with hip fracture, and (V) to examine and compare the inheritance patterns of THR for OA and hip fracture. OA was previously regarded as a consequence of the wear and tear the joint is subjected to during one’s lifetime. READ MORE

5. 3. On the role of signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis

   Author : Johan Stenberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osteoarthritis; Signalling pathways; proteomics; genomics; GDF5; Wnt;

   Abstract : The problem with degenerating cartilage tissues is one of the major causes for disability worldwide. The aetiology of the cartilage degenerating disease osteoarthritis is elusive and considered to be multifactorial. The aim of the present thesis was to find new hypotheses regarding the aetiology of osteoarthritis with focus on signalling pathways. READ MORE

6. 4. Wrist osteoarthritis - Impact on daily life, self-management and outcome

   Author : Sara Larsson; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wrist osteoarthritis; Impact on daily life; Total wrist fusion; Total wrist arthroplasty; Patient-reported outcome measure; self-management; Exercise therapy; Neuromuscular control;

   Abstract : For individuals with symptomatic wrist osteoarthritis (OA), pain is the central problem negatively affecting all aspects of life. Despite the recommendations that all OA patients should be offered self-management treatment options, this approach is often lacking for patients with wrist OA. READ MORE

7. 5. Aggrecan fragments as biomarkers in osteoarthritis

   Author : Staffan Larsson; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protease; Aggrecan; osteoarthritis; proteoglycan; knee injury; biomarker; aggrecanase;

   Abstract : Background: In osteoarthritis (OA) the balance of cartilage matrix synthesis and degradation is disturbed, resulting in a gradual destruction of the articular cartilage. Matrix components released into body fluids by proteolytic cleavage can be used as biomarkers of ongoing processes. READ MORE
