Book SynopsisThe synovium is a thin layer of tissue only a few cells thick which lines the joints and tendon sheaths. It controls the environment within the joint and tendon sheath by acting as a membrane to determine what can pass into the joint space and what stays outside. The synovium may become thickened and inflamed, causing pain within the affected joint. This book covers a range of disorders associated with the synovium, discussing both rare and more common conditions. Beginning with an introduction and description of normal synovium, the following chapters examine the pathology and arthroscopic findings of different types of arthritis, tumours and tumour-like lesions and synovial fluid. The final chapter discusses the histology of arthritis, amyloid (protein) related disorders and haemophilia. Key Points Discusses both rare and common disorders associated with the synovium Examines pathology and arthroscopic findings of arthritis, tumours and tumour-like lesions Includes nearly 80 colour images and illustrations Table of Contents Introduction Normal Synovium Synovial Fluid Infective Arthritis Crystal-induced Synovitis Synovium—Tumors and Tumor-like Lesions Osteoarthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis Miscellaneous

Book SynopsisOsteoarthritis is a condition in which low-grade inflammation results in joint pain, and it is the most common joint disease. Interactions between all of the major joint tissues, including the articular cartilage, synovium, bone marrow, subchondral bone, trabecular bone, and muscle, have been implicated in osteoarthritis. Magnetic resonance images have been used to quantify the cartilage morphology, volume and thickness, and focal defects, and may reflect changes in the biochemical composition of articular cartilage.This book brings together contributions from key investigators in the area of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for osteoarthritis of the knee. Written by a multidisciplinary group of scientists, engineers, and clinicians, this book is the first to cover MRI as a new emerging modality for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis, and presents new findings in both basic and clinical science research.Table of ContentsAnatomy and Physiology of the Knee; Introduction to Osteoarthritis; Current Diagnostics for Osteoarthritis; OA Scoring Systems; Introduction to MRI; Morphological MRI; Functional MRI; MRI of Bone in OA.

Book SynopsisBone circulation is important to our understanding of many major orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, repair, and tumors. Yet, circulatory physiology, basic to all healthy organs and most diseases, has been difficult to study in the skeleton. The biological regulation of blood flow is complex and the tissues have been relatively inaccessible to measurement. In recent years, however, advances have been made in understanding circulatory physiology and fluid flow in bone, functional measurement of blood flow, and the roles of circulation in bone turnover and repair. These advances have enhanced our insights into bone homeostasis and the interrelationships of circulation and skeletal biology, including repair and disease.This seminal volume presents updated information on circulatory physiology of bone and fluid flow through the bone matrix. It then describes new techniques in quantifying and imaging bone circulation. A clinical section covering circulatory elements of skeletal diseases provides valuable insight into pathophysiology that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets.Table of ContentsPhysiology: The Physiology of Bone Circulation (Ian McCarthy & Ines Reichert); Molecular Transport in Musculoskeletal Health and Disease (Melissa L Knothe Tate, Roy Aaron, Anita Ignatius, Stan Rockson & Lauren Kark); Techniques of Measurement of Bone Circulation: Microsphere Method for Investigation of Bone Blood Flow (Hermann Anetzberger & Christof Birkenmaier); Laser Doppler Flowmetry (Seth O'Donnell, Scott Ritterman & Lee Rubin); Engineering and Clinical Aspects of Photoplethysmography (Roy K Aaron, Oussama Fadil, Jennifer Racine & Domenico Pacifici); MRI and PET (Jonathan Dyke); Pathophysiology of Skeletal Circulation: Circulatory Pathology in Osteonecrosis (Lynne C Jones & Roy K Aaron); Osteonecrosis in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia and Other Hematologic Disorders (Luke M Vaughan, Sarah A Long, Thomas Santamaria, Marc J Kahn, Josephina A Vossen, Miriam A Bredella, Alan L Schiller & Henry J Mankin); Fractures and Bone Repair (Dean G Lorich & Lionel E Lazaro); Joint Inflammation and Synovitis (Alissa J Burge); Circulatory Pathology in Osteoarthritis (Roy K Aaron); Osteoporosis, Circulation, and Fluid Dynamics (Bing Zang, Jaime Mateus & Alan Hargens); Circulation of the Pediatric and Adolescent Hip (Jeremy Doak, Jonathan Schiller & Craig Eberson);
