The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

The clinical manifestations and pathomechanics of contracture of the extensor mechanism of the knee. (2/1089)

Experience with thirty-eight Asian children and adolescents who presented with either stiffness of the knee, genu recurvatum, habitual dislocation of the patella or congenital lateral dislocation of the patella showed that all those disorders were manifestations of contracture of the extensor mechanism, which fell into two groups according to the components involved. In Group I the main components affected were in the midline of the limb, namely rectus femoris and vastus intermedius; these patients presented with varying degrees of stiffness of the knee, or worse, with genu recurvatum. In Group II the main components involved were lateral to the midline of the limb, namely vastus lateralis and the ilio-tibial band; these patients presented with habitual dislocation of the patella, or worse, congenital lateral dislocation of the patella. In both groups untreated patients developed secondary adaptive changes such as subluxation of the tibia or marked genu valgum which made operative procedures more formidable and less effective. Release of the contracture should therefore be performed as early as possible. (+info)

The locked patella. An unusual complication of haemophilia. (3/1089)

Mechanical derangements of the knee are an uncommon complication of chronic haemophiliac arthropathy. Two patients with locking of the patella were treated by manipulation. The mechanism of the injury was forced flexion of the knee joint beyond the limit of its restricted range. The injury is a serious one and may take six months to recover. (+info)

Larsen syndrome in two generations of an Italian family. (4/1089)

This paper describes a familial case of Larsen syndrome. Typical anomalies were present in the propositus and 2 of his 6 daughters. In addition, all patients had progressive deafness and the 2 daughters had cleft palate. The certain exclusion of any consanguinity between the couple, suggests, in this instance, the dominant mode of transmission of the syndrome. (+info)

Diagnostic classification of shoulder disorders: interobserver agreement and determinants of disagreement. (5/1089)

OBJECTIVES: To assess the interobserver agreement on the diagnostic classification of shoulder disorders, based on history taking and physical examination, and to identify the determinants of diagnostic disagreement. METHODS: Consecutive eligible patients with shoulder pain were recruited in various health care settings in the Netherlands. After history taking, two physiotherapists independently performed a physical examination and subsequently the shoulder complaints were classified into one of six diagnostic categories: capsular syndrome (for example, capsulitis, arthritis), acute bursitis, acromioclavicular syndrome, subacromial syndrome (for example, tendinitis, chronic bursitis), rest group (for example, unclear clinical picture, extrinsic causes) and mixed clinical picture. To quantify the interobserver agreement Cohen's kappa was calculated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to determine which clinical characteristics were determinants of diagnostic disagreement. RESULTS: The study population consisted of 201 patients with varying severity and duration of complaints. The kappa for the classification of shoulder disorders was 0.45 (95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.37, 0.54). Diagnostic disagreement was associated with bilateral involvement (odds ratio (OR) 1.9; 95% CI 1.0, 3.7), chronic complaints (OR 2.0; 95% CI 1.1, 3.7), and severe pain (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.3, 5.3). CONCLUSIONS: Only moderate agreement was found on the classification of shoulder disorders, which implies that differentiation between the various categories of shoulder disorders is complicated. Especially patients with high pain severity, chronic complaints and bilateral involvement represent a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. As diagnostic classification is a guide for treatment decisions, unsatisfactory reproducibility might affect treatment outcome. To improve the reproducibility, more insight into the reproducibility of clinical findings and the value of additional diagnostic procedures is needed. (+info)

Do postal questionnaires change GPs' workload and referral patterns? (6/1089)

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine changes in workload in general practice associated with the postal administration of a health needs questionnaire. METHOD: We carried out controlled before-and-after intervention study of the effects of delivering a postal questionnaire to assess needs for care for patients with arthropathies of the hip and knee, groin hernia and varicose veins, and to assess health service utilization, general health status and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The setting was a seven-partner, fundholding, group practice in Avon. The subjects were patients registered with an NHS group practice situated in Backwell and Nailsea, Avon. The outcome measures were the frequency of consultation, home visits and night visits, reasons for consultation, referral to specialist agencies and patterns of prescribing. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the study and control group in the year before and the year after the postal administration of the questionnaire with respect to changes in overall frequency of consultation, frequency of referral (including type of referral) and frequency of prescribing of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In the study group there was a significant (P<0.05) reduction in the number of daytime home visits and prescriptions written for analgesics. Analysis of the records of those who had received a medical examination, in addition to a postal questionnaire, showed that there was no significant difference between the study and control group with respect to frequency of consultation, referral to outside agencies or items prescribed. CONCLUSION: Administration of a health needs questionnaire to patients registered with this general practice was not associated with an increase in consultation frequency or referral, or a change in prescribing patterns. No plausible explanation could be identified for the significant reduction in the number of home visits and prescriptions written for analgesics. It was concluded that these results were a statistical artefact. On the basis of the evidence from this study, GPs can be reassured that the administration of health needs questionnaires of the type used in this study will not result in any increase in workload or costs of care incurred by increased referrals to outside agencies or increased prescribing.

Blood-induced joint damage: a human in vitro study. (7/1089)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate mechanisms underlying cartilage damage caused by brief exposure of cartilage to blood, such as that occurring during intraarticular bleeding. METHODS: Human articular cartilage was cultured for 4 days in the presence of blood (components; 7.5-50% volume/volume). The synthesis of cartilage matrix, as determined by proteoglycan synthesis (incorporation of 35SO4(2-)), was measured directly after exposure and after a recovery period of 20 days, during which the cartilage was cultured in the absence of blood or blood components. The production of the cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor a (TNFalpha), which have a destructive effect on cartilage, was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the viability of chondrocytes was determined by measuring lactate dehydrogenase release and with electron microscopy. The involvement of oxygen metabolites was evaluated by using N-acetylcysteine. RESULTS: Brief exposure to blood resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of proteoglycan synthesis. The combination of mononuclear cells and red blood cells was responsible for this effect. The effect was irreversible, independent of IL-1 and TNFalpha production, and was accompanied by chondrocyte death. These effects were partially prevented by N-acetylcysteine. CONCLUSION: Brief exposure of cartilage to blood, as occurs after a single episode or a limited number of bleeding episodes, results in lasting cartilage damage in vitro, in which cytotoxic oxygen metabolites play a role. (+info)

Blood-induced joint damage: a canine in vivo study. (8/1089)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the direct and indirect (via synovial inflammation) effects of intraarticular bleeding on cartilage in vivo. METHODS: Right knees of 14 beagle dogs were injected with autologous blood on days 0 and 2. Cartilage matrix proteoglycan turnover, collagen damage, and synovial inflammation of these knees, including the cartilage-destructive properties of the synovial tissue, were determined and compared with those of the left control knees on day 4 (short-term effects; n = 7) and day 16 (long-term effects; n = 7). RESULTS: Injected knees had a diminished content of proteoglycans in the cartilage matrix, and release of proteoglycans was enhanced (days 4 and 16). The synthesis of proteoglycans was significantly inhibited on day 4 but was enhanced on day 16. On day 4 more collagen was denatured in the injected joint than in the control joint; this effect was no longer detectable on day 16. Synovial tissue showed signs of inflammation on day 4 and day 16 but had cartilage-destructive properties only on day 16. CONCLUSION: In vivo exposure of articular cartilage to blood for a relatively short time results in lasting changes in chondrocyte activity and in cartilage matrix integrity, changes that may predict lasting joint damage over time. Interestingly, the direct effect of blood on cartilage precedes the indirect effect via synovial inflammation. (+info)

Explain to patients that a small British study of ankle and foot MRIs found that patients with neuropathic joint disease (an aggressive form of osteoarthritis usually occurring in diabetics) had more ligament involvement and bone marrow edema than other patients with foot or ankle OA. (medpagetoday.com)
Neuropathic joint disease -- a particularly severe form of rapidly progressive osteoarthritis of the foot and ankle -- is characterized by multiple ligament abnormalities and diffuse bone edema even early in the disease process, a small retrospective British study found. (medpagetoday.com)
Patients with neuropathic joint disease had a median of three partial or complete ligament tears, a finding that was not seen in any patients in a comparator group who had the more common, degenerative form of osteoarthritis ( P =0.005), according to Jill Halstead, MSc, of the University of Leeds, and colleagues. (medpagetoday.com)
Whereas foot and ankle degenerative osteoarthritis typically progresses slowly and is not associated with joint deformity, the neuropathic condition, which is most often associated with diabetes, is characterized in late phases by bone debris, joint destruction, and new bone formation. (medpagetoday.com)
To more fully characterize the early phase of neuropathic arthritis, when timely intervention could help limit the damage, Halstead and colleagues performed an exploratory study comparing MRI findings in 15 patients with osteoarthritis of the ankle and foot and seven patients with neuropathic joint disease. (medpagetoday.com)
Linear bone disruption consistent with the presence of fractures was seen in two or more bones in almost all patients with neuropathic disease and in only one bone in a single osteoarthritis patient. (medpagetoday.com)

The origin) and progression of osteoarthritis should not be thought of as being invariably attributable to a single tissue, such as articular cartilage, but as possibly due to disease in any of the tissues of the affected joint, including the subchondral bone, synovium, capsule, periarticular muscles, sensory nerve endings and meniscus (if present). (caringmedical.com)
Even before that time we here at Caring Medical have published medical research and cited numerous studies that suggests that to treat joint osteoarthritis you must treat the whole joint. (caringmedical.com)
It is important to note that, although associated with old age,osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease are not simply a result of the aging process, nor are they a result of general wear and tear on joints. (caringmedical.com)

Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is a form of arthritis and is also referred to as osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis. (study.com)

This type of arthritis causes the cartilage that acts as cushioning between bone joints to wear away. (healthline.com)
In later stages of the disease, the cartilage wears away entirely, causing bone to rub against bone. (healthline.com)
Dasuquin is one such supplement made of proprietary ingredients, which is known to protect cartilage and facilitate the smooth movements of the joints. (buzzle.com)
Dasuquin comprises avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU)―ingredients that are known to protect cartilage and joints, according to several verified studies. (buzzle.com)
Glucosamine is naturally found in the cartilage of both humans and animals, helping in the lubrication of joints by producing molecules that bind and hold water in the cartilage. (buzzle.com)
A healthy and well-functioning cartilage provides the necessary padding, which helps protect the dog's joints during any movement. (buzzle.com)
Over time this abnormal movement erodes the cartilage that lines the joints and bone begins rubbing against bone creating chronic inflammation and pain. (hillspet.com)
Occasionally, infections can lead to the destruction of, cartilage and joint tissue. (hillspet.com)
cartilage provides a cushion between the bones of the joints . (spineuniverse.com)
This causes the bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing pain, swelling, and loss of joint motion. (spineuniverse.com)
Unfortunately, damage and erosion of joint cartilage can cause your dog painful joints and inflammation, making it difficult for your dog to lead a normal life. (1800petmeds.com)
Glucosamine and chondroitin may help to promote joint support, protect joint cartilage, and alleviate pain. (1800petmeds.com)
Some signal abnormalities were common to both groups, such as focal bone marrow edema with cysts, osteochondral and cartilage defects, and joint effusions. (medpagetoday.com)
The joints in the spine, known as facet joints, are covered in cartilage that allows for smooth movement and are the most common painful joints of the lumbar spine that undergo degeneration. (laserspineinstitute.com)
It's caused by chronic inflammation due to the deterioration of joint cartilage. (animalwellnessmagazine.com)
Secondary causes of OA include congenital abnormality of the hip or elbow (dysplasia), trauma, dislocation of the knee or shoulder, and osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) in which an abnormal flap of cartilage forms within the joint. (animalwellnessmagazine.com)
Lubricin is crucial for normal joint function and the lubrication of cartilage," said researcher Heidi Reesink, an assistant professor in equine health at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. (drugs.com)
DJD is caused by the erosion of cartilage around the spinal joints. (cure-back-pain.org)
A normal, healthy joint is surrounded by cartilage and is well lubricated by synovial fluid. (cure-back-pain.org)
When this degeneration occurs, the cartilage is damaged and the lubricating fluid in the joint becomes less effective. (cure-back-pain.org)
Degenerative joint disease is the gradual wearing away of the cartilage that covers the surfaces of the joints in the spine. (laserspineinstitute.com)
These chondrocytes are the worker cells of the cartilage tissue building collagen as it wears to keep joints youthful and functioning. (florahealth.com)
Cartilage damage in OA is detected radiographically by decreases in joint space width (JSW). (europa.eu)
Transplant of lab-grown cartilage is a first in joint-healing studies, says senior author Kyriacos Athanasiou, UCI Distinguished Professor of biomedical engineering. (ucdavis.edu)
Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is a painful condition that results in the deterioration of the cartilage tissues that support the weight-bearing joints in the body. (caringmedical.com)
Once the cartilage is thinned or lost, the constant grinding of bones against each other causes pain and stiffness around the joint . (caringmedical.com)
In other words: If the ligaments become weak and untreated, it will lead to breakdown of cartilage, bone on bone, and a recommendation to joint replacement. (caringmedical.com)
The joint fluid and the articular cartilage reduce friction within the joint, allowing it to move smoothly. (vcahospitals.com)
With severe DJD, the degenerated cartilage may actually split away from the bone and become loose within the joint. (vcahospitals.com)
In addition, medications and nutritional supplements are available that can slow the progress of the disease and promote cartilage healing. (vcahospitals.com)
DJD is disease of the cartilage in our joints. (study.com)

It calls for the group to spend $230 million over the next five years as researchers look for cures for Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes, and two autoimmune disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. (voanews.com)
Another possible cause of severe joint pain is rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. (healthline.com)
In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, disease modifying antirheumatic drugs such as methotrexate or white blood cell modulators such as abatacept or rituxen may be prescribed in addition to the drug and exercise regimen described above. (healthline.com)
Current treatments for rheumatoid arthritis relieve the inflammation that leads to joint destruction, but the immunologic defect that triggers the inflammation persists to cause relapses. (medindia.net)
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects 1.5 million people in the United States. (medindia.net)
According to Silverman, the reduction of inflammation does not directly reflect the autoimmune disease that causes rheumatoid arthritis. (medindia.net)
The current metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of new rheumatoid arthritis drugs remain focused on reducing inflammation but not curing the disease, he says. (medindia.net)
This disease model was chosen because of its many immunological and pathological similarities to human rheumatoid arthritis. (pnas.org)
Using new analytic tools, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have decoded the epigenetic landscape for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a common autoimmune disease that affects more than 1.3 million Americans. (eurekalert.org)
