Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research, especially in fields of orthopaedic surgery and rehabilita tion, point to the importance of periodic, moderate stress for maintaining normal structure and function of tissues. Moreover, growth and healing of load-bearing tissues such as bone, cartilage, and intervertebral disc are especially dependent upon stress-related stimuli. Extreme levels of stress, however, are usually detrimental to tissue integrity, and most treatment regimens today address problems related to trauma and other conditions of abnormally high stress. Therefore, the purpose of this book is to bring together experts in fields of tissue nutrition and growth in order to review previous work and examine new ideas and results concerning the importance of mechanical stress in tissues. This book is unique in that the topic of tissue nutrition and growth, especially related to possible benefits of periodic moderate stress, has never been addressed comprehensively, drawing together experts on vari ous tissues and organs. One objective is to focus attention on tissue nutrition where controversy still exists regarding basic mechanisms of metabolite transport and fluid homeostasis within the interstitium. An other objective is to examine the pathophysiology of tissue compression and discuss strategies to improve viability. Tissues which are treated in this book include bone, cartilage, intervertebral disc, lung, nerve, skeletal muscle, umbilical cord, synovium, skin, and subcutaneous tissues. Based upon these objectives, this book is primarily addressed to students, inves tigators, and teachers in fields of physiology, biochemistry, biomechan ics, exercise, orthopaedic surgery, rehabilitation, and sports medicine.

Download or read book The Joints and Synovial Fluid written by Leon Sokoloff and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joints and Synovial Fluid II is a collection of papers that deals with the basic aspects of the articular apparatus, including the general pathology of the appendicular and axial structures, the disease processes, and comparative anthology. Some papers discuss in vitro culture of joints and articular tissues, the chemistry of the ground substance of joint cartilage, and the structure of the intervertebral disc in relation to its function and to the aging process. As a humans being ages, the whole nucleus found in the disc will behave more like a sponge than a shock absorber as regards its ability to distribute stress and pressure from the end plates of the disc. Another paper describes load distribution of the knee, ankle joint, the spine, the arms, elbows, fingers. One paper deals with the pathology of the spine covering infectious diseases, metabolic and developmental disease of cartilage and bones, traumatic and degenerative diseases, autoimmune connective tissue diseases (such as ankylosing spondylitis), and miscellaneous diseases (such as tumors). The collection is suitable for researchers, scientists, medical practitioners, and academicians in the fields of biochemistry, bioengineering, anatomical sciences, immunology, organ physiology, cell biology, orthopedics, rheumatology, or rehabilitation medicine.

Download or read book Nutrition and Arthritis written by Margaret Rayman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthritis affects millions of people throughout the world and while its treatment is usually medical or surgical, there exists an increasingly large body of evidence concerning the positive effects of nutrition on the condition. There are over two hundred forms of rheumatoid disease, with conditions varying in prevalence. In this important title the authors have focussed on osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most common arthritic diseases with the largest body of dietary data. Including coverage of disease incidence and prevalence, pathology, aetiology and measures of disease assessment and dietary risk factors, Nutrition and Arthritis is a clear, concise and user-friendly book gathering the latest research to bring the reader state-of-the-art information on: Micronutrients (e.g. vitamins C, D and selenium), food supplements and their potential to ameliorate arthritis Polyunsaturated fatty acids, with particular attention paid to n-3 fatty acids Glucosamine and chondroitin The value of exclusion, vegetarian, vegan and other dietary approaches Nutritionists and dietitians, including those working in the health services, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, general practitioners, osteopaths and commercial organisations involved in the formulation of dietary supplements will find this book an important and practical reference source. Libraries in medical schools and universities and research establishments where nutrition, dietetics and food science are studied and taught will find it a valuable addition to their shelves.

Download or read book The Effects of a High fat Diet on Cartilage in the Femoro tibial Joint of Young Adult Rats written by Samuel sinclair Hayson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is a major risk factor in the development of many diseases, including those of the musculoskeletal system such as osteoarthritis (OA). Recent studies of the knee joint of severally obese children detected articular cartilage (AC) lesions, the significance of which, in long-term risks of OA in adults, is not known. Using a rat model, this thesis project aimed to test the hypothesis that a high-fat (HF) diet would result in abnormalities in the femoro-tibial joint (FTJ) cartilages. It also examined the potential effect of exercise in preventing the effects of diet-induced obesity on FTJ cartilage. Upon weaning, 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a Chow (18% kal fat) or HF (45% kcal fat) diet. At 63 days half of each group was allocated to either spontaneous cage activity (SED) or to free access to an exercise wheel (EX), resulting in 4 groups (Chow-SED, HF-SED, Chow-EX, HF-EX). Body composition was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and fasting plasma leptin and insulin concentrations using ELISA. Femoro-tibial joint samples were processed for histological examination, stained with toluidine blue, and assessed for cartilage abnormalities. Epiphyseal growth cartilage (EGC) was graded using a modified cartilage grading protocol. Type X collagen within the EGC was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Pearson’s correlation was conducted between body composition, leptin concentration and the presence of cartilage abnormalities. Body mass, percentage body fat, and fasting plasma leptin and insulin concentrations were higher in HF than Chow-fed animals, and lower in exercised than in nonexercised animals. There was no evidence that HF diet or exercise was associated with hyaline articular cartilage (HAC) abnormality. Epiphyseal growth cartilage abnormalities consistent with the disease osteochondrosis (OC) were observed. There were significantly greater numbers of osteochondritic lesions in HF-SED and HF-EX animals compared to Chow control groups. Type X collagen staining was also present within the abnormalities of the epiphyseal cartilage, consistent with a disruption in endochondral ossification. Body weight (p=0.006), percentage body fat (p=0.002) and fasting plasma leptin concentration (p=0.027) were significantly correlated with the presence of abnormalities in the epiphyseal growth cartilage. This is the first known study to observe abnormalities in the EGC of young adult rats exposed to a HF diet. Both the mechanism leading to the formation of osteochondral defects in the young rat, and features of a HF diet that appear to exacerbate formation of EGC abnormalities need to be established before translation and comparison to cartilage lesions in young people can be achieved.
