Abstract
For the purposes of classification, it should be specified whether osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is of unknown origin (idiopathic, primary) or is related to a known medical condition or event (secondary). Clinical criteria for the classification of idiopathic OA of the knee were developed through a multicenter study group. Comparison diagnoses included rheumatoid arthritis and other painful conditions of the knee, exclusive of referred or para-articular pain. Variables from the medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and radiographs were used to develop sets of criteria that serve different investigative purposes. In contrast to prior criteria, these proposed criteria utilize classification trees, or algorithms.

Expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in synovial fibroblasts from patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The expression of TRPV1 is demonstrated in synovial fibroblasts from patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and it is hypothesized that TRpV1 may play a role in non-neuronal mechanisms that might modulate nociception in symptomatic OA and RA patients.

Trunk lean gait modification and knee joint load in people with medial knee osteoarthritis: the effect of varying trunk lean angles.

TL;DR: To evaluate whether increased lateral trunk lean toward the symptomatic lower extremity during gait in people with medial knee osteoarthritis immediately alters symptoms or medial knee load, as measured by the external knee adduction moment (KAM), the KAM is measured.

Midkine, a heparin-binding growth factor, is fundamentally involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: MK participates in each of the two distinct phases of RA development, namely, migration of inflammatory leukocytes and osteoclast differentiation, and is a key molecule in the pathogenesis of RA.

The 1982 revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: The 1971 preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were revised and updated to incorporate new immunologic knowledge and improve disease classification and showed gains in sensitivity and specificity.

Radiological Assessment of Osteo-Arthrosis

TL;DR: It was concluded that, to ensure maximum uniformity in grading x rays in field surveys and therapeutic trials, all readings should be made by the same observer, preferably at a single session.

Preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)

TL;DR: A multicenter, ongoing study of early-diagnosed cases of systemic sclerosis and comparison patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, and Raynaud's phenomenon was conducted in order to develop classification criteria for systemic sclerosis.

Preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). Subcommittee for scleroderma criteria of the American Rheumatism Association Diagnostic and Therapeutic Criteria Committee.

TL;DR: Proposed classification criteria for systemic sclerosis had a 97% sensitivity for definite systemic sclerosis and 98% specificity when applied to the case and comparison patients included in this study.
