Each patient underwent an extensive blinded ultrasound examination at baseline covering 36 joints and 14 tendon compartments. From these images the team calculated several ultrasound scores, capturing both greyscale abnormalities and power Doppler signals, the latter reflecting active inflammation of the joint…
A cross-sectional survey of 319 adults with alopecia areata in Mexico found that traditional corticosteroid treatments dominated across all severity levels while satisfaction with treatment fell sharply as disease severity increased.
A new proteomic study maps how rAAV-mediated IGF-I gene transfer alters protein expression in bone marrow stromal cells from osteoarthritis donors undergoing chondrogenic differentiation in vitro.

An uncontrolled prospective cohort study of 59 patients with knee osteoarthritis reported significant improvements in pain and function scores over six months after platelet-rich plasma injections, while stressing that controlled trials are needed to confirm efficacy.
Agreement on change over time was markedly weaker. Across lesion types, kappa values for change ranged from −0.04 to 0.20, a range the authors characterize as poor to slight. This indicates that the two imaging methods rarely identified the same patients as…
A new review argues that black phosphorus biomaterials could address inflammation, oxidative stress, and bone remodeling in jaw joint osteoarthritis, but direct evidence in the temporomandibular joint remains limited.

A new review details how pH-, enzyme-, and thermo-responsive hydrogel beads and injectable depots could deliver rheumatoid arthritis drugs directly into inflamed joints, though most evidence remains preclinical.
BACKGROUND Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is the dominant clinical modality for the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. The success of ACLR is largely dependent on tendon-bone healing, and stem cell biotherapies are often used to facilitate this process.
A notch-referenced intraoperative check placed ACL tibial tunnels within about one millimetre of the native footprint on 3D imaging in a 108-patient validation study.
Can our gut heal our knees? A familiar dietary fiber is opening a new line of inquiry into one of the most stubborn forms of joint pain. A daily dose of dietary fiber did something that six weeks of physiotherapy…
