The Effects of Non-Surgical Interventions on Osteoarthritis-Like Changes in the Mouse Knee
… into murine knees produce synovial hyperplasia, osteophyte formation, and fibrotic changes on cartilage surfaces and joint capsules. However, additional exposure of the joints to high intensity treadmill running (biomechanical overuse) results in more widespread and focal OA-like cartilage …

Magnetic Resonance Based Imaging for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy
… spine, such as intervertebral disc prolapse, osteophyte formation or ligament thickening have been considered the disease hallmark. Assessment of spinal cord compression using Magnetic Resonance [MRI] has therefore become a gold standard assessment for diagnosis and popular outcome assessment. …

Viral Delivery of the Fat-1 Gene to Treat Post-Traumatic Arthritis with Diet-Induced Obesity
… showed protection from synovial inflammation and osteophyte formation, while administration of Luciferase did not confer protection. These findings suggest the utility of gene therapy to deliver the Fat-1 enzyme, which has potential as a therapeutic for injured obese patients for the prevention of …

Mapping Ultrasound Features of Hand Osteoarthritis: Links to Classifications, Clinical Signs, and Self-Reported Outcomes
… MCP and 1st CMC joints was performed to identify osteophytes, synovial hypertrophy (SH), synovial effusion (SE), power Doppler (PD), and SMI vascularity. Clinical signs were assessed physically (finger nodes, tenderness, thumb-base squaring) and photographically (finger nodes, deformity, …
