Synovial joint

This article talks about complementary and alternative therapies for a patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis affects the joints and often causes pain and inflammation. There is no cure, so treatment is often used to relieve the patient’s pain. The autoimmune reaction usually occurs in synovial fluid and can eventually cause destruction of joint cartilage. The patient may also lose muscle, with tendons and ligaments losing their ability to contract. Complementary therapies…

Osteoarthritis is known as degenerative joint disease. It is the most common form of arthritis. It is characterized as focal and gradual loss of hyaline cartilage and underlying structural changes. Osteoarthritis can be either localized or generalized from traumatic, metabolic and other medical relation of causes. Some Patients does not have specific inflammatory or metabolic condition associated with arthritis and do not have a history of specific injuries that can be considered primary…

thigh, also known as os femoris, is the longest and strongest bone of human body. The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of hip bone forming the ball and socket variety of synovial joint-the hip joint, whereas the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and patella forming the knee joint. The anatomy of the proximal end of the femur, in recent years had received the much deserved attention because of the importance of early treatment of congenital dislocation and…

trauma or spontaneous bleeding can be persistent. The patient may present with palpable large ecchymoses and large hematomas of deep soft tissues. Bleeding may occur in synovial joints of knees, elbows, and ankles (Drews, 2017). According to Yee, if the patient has coagulation issue, they tend to bleed into muscle, soft tissue and joints whereas skin and mucous membrane bleeding suggest the problem with platelet abnormalities…

has been prevalent for centuries, its severity was only realized in 1975, when an outbreak of individuals suffered juvenile arthritis and rashes on their body. Transferred through the bite of an infected tick, the infection can spread through the joints, the bloodstream, the heart, and the nervous system if not properly treated. Lyme Disease is the most common arthropod-borne illness in North America, with there being over 200,000 cases each year, but its diagnosis and treatment can be…

constitutes a fibro-cartilage tissue has a limited regenerative capacity [12]. The ongoing challenge for clinicians and researchers is to improve the healing process in this type of injury. Some of the new approaches include the use of parameniscal synovial tissue, trephination of the peripheral meniscus rim with suture of the meniscus tear, creation of vascular access channels, and use of mesenchymal stem cells or growth factors…

is one of various disorders that happens in between the temporomandibular joint. The TMJ is a link joint that helps the jaw with everyday complicated movements. Examples: eating swallowing, talking and some facial expressions the require movement of the mandible and jaw joint. The temporomandibular joint is made of capsule, retrodiscal tissue and an articular disc. The capsule is a fibrous membrane that surrounds the joint and attaches the articular eminence, articular disc and the neck of the…

Discussion We have carefully evaluated anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity of Mangiferin (NF-κB inhibitor) and its interactions with low dose of NO modulators (L-NAME and L-Arginine) for the treatment of adjuvant-induced experimental arthritis in rats. Maximum anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity of Mangiferin was observed in rats treated with Mangiferin 30 mg/kg. Its protective effect was potentiated by combination with low dose of NO modulator L-NAME (10 mg/kg). Treatment…

invasive day case procedure which may be done for diagnosis, meniscectomy or debride-ment. Arthroscopic surgery is associated with a variable degree of postoperative pain, which is caused by an irritation of free nerve endings of the synovial tissue, anterior fat pad, and joint capsule due to surgical excision and resection [1]. Postoperative pain control is very important for early rehabil-itation and short hospital stay. Several postoperative analgesic modalities were tried such as systemic…

the hip is either flexed, extended, abducted or adducted. Additionally, repeated stress on the joint has resulted in bony calcification around the acetabular fossa (Wolff’s law), limiting the motion and increasing the likelihood of a more serious hip injury. Doctors have also noted a slight varus alignment at the knees joint as a potential contributing factor. The hip consists of a ball-n-socket joint in which the convex head of the femur sits in the concave acetabular fossa of the os coxa.…
