2. 1. Opioid ligands and receptors of the joint

   Author : Jonas Bergström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Opioid peptides; enkephalin; opioid receptors; joint; primary afferents; synovial lining cells; vascular smooth muscle; arthritis; osteoarthrosis; immunohistochemistry; radioimmunoassay; RTPCR; binding assay;

   Abstract : The aim was to explore the occurrence of an opioid system in joints. Thus, joint tissues from rats with and without arthritis and also from patients with knee osteoarthrosis were investigated by EM, immunohistochemistry, RIA, HPLC, receptor binding assay and RT-PCR. READ MORE

4. 2. Knee injuries and their consequences – the impact of impact

   Author : Per Swärd; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common, severe knee injuries that result in a high risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the affected individuals. As proof of high impact forces applied to cartilage and bone at the time of injury, traumatic bone marrow lesions and osteochondral fractures, located predominantly in the lateral tibiofemoral compartment, are commonly associated with an ACL injury.

5. 3. Synovial metabolism after different degrees of trauma : effects of pharmacological and physiological intervention : a microdialysis study of the knee joint synovium

   Author : Anders Stålman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Knee arthroscopy is one of the most common orthopedic procedures. Postoperative pain and knee swelling is often a problem. Optimal pain management in knee arthroscopic procedures is important to permit same-day discharge and to contribute to early mobilisation, reduced cost and increased patient satisfaction. READ MORE

6. 4. Articular distension in arthroscopy : an experimental study on intra- and extra-articular effects of pressure

   Author : Anders Sperber; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Arthroscopy; intra-articular pressure; in vivo measurements; knee joint capsule; tensile properties; stress-strain; multicompartmental pressures; lower leg venous blood flow; ultrasound; acromioplasty; intra-muscular pressure; fluid absorption; shoul;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to analyse the effects of various intra-articular pressures (IAP) on soft tissues and to provide guidelines for the choice of safe infusion pressures during arthroscopy. The tensile properties of the knee-joint capsule were recorded from stress-strain-relaxation tests within 170 mmHg IAP. READ MORE

7. 5. Hip disability : patient education, classification and assessment

   Author : Maria Klässbo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Activity limitations; assessment; capsular pattern; classification; disability; hip; HOOS; NHP; osteoarthritis; pain; physiotherapy; range of motion; stiffness; quality of life; WOMAC;

   Abstract : Hip disability is common and entails activity limitations, participation restrictions and increased risk of further disability and health problems, partially due to inactivity. Hip osteoarthritis (OA), the major diagnosis, is difficult to define, especially when no joint space narrowing is seen in radiography. READ MORE
