TL;DR: The WORMS method provides multi-feature, whole-organ assessment of the knee in OA using conventional MR images, and shows high inter-observer agreement among trained readers, and may be useful in epidemiological studies and clinical trials of OA.

TL;DR: The International Harmonization Project (IHP) developed guidelines for performing and interpreting positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for treatment assessment in patients with lymphoma both in clinical practice and in clinical trials as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Investigative meniscal findings on MRI of the knee are common in the general population and increase with increasing age, and among persons with radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis, the prevalence of a meniscal tear was 63% among those with knee pain, aching, or stiffness on most days and 60% amongst those without these symptoms.

TL;DR: The iteratively developed magnetic resonance imaging Osteoarthritis Knee Score shows very good to excellent reliability for the large majority of features assessed and further iterative development and research will include assessment of its validation and responsiveness.

TL;DR: To determine whether a ≥10% reduction in body weight induced by diet, with or without exercise, would improve mechanistic and clinical outcomes more than exercise alone, a single-blind, 18-month, randomized clinical trial was conducted.
