Prevalence of Osteoarthritis and Related Risk Factors in the Elderly: Data from the Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V), 2010~2012

TL;DR: It is suggested that obesity and nutrient intakes were associated with osteoarthritis, whereas chronic diseases such as hyper-lipidemia, anemia, and diabetes as well as health habits were not.

Effects of Risedronate on Osteoarthritis of the Knee

TL;DR: The review of the literature suggests that higher doses of risedronate strongly reduces the marker of cartilage degradation (CTX-II), which could contribute to attenuation of radiological progression of OA by preserving the structural integrity of subchondral bone.

Biological Activities of Glucosamine and Its Related Substances

TL;DR: The results indicated that GlcN increases the mineralization of mature osteoblasts and the expression of middle and late stage markers (osteopontin and osteocalcin, respectively) during osteoblastic differentiation, and reduces theexpression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), a differentiation and activation factor for osteoclasts.

Effect of glucosamine, a therapeutic agent for osteoarthritis, on osteoblastic cell differentiation.

TL;DR: Both GlcN and GlcNAc may have a potential not only to induce osteoblastic cell differentiation especially at middle-late stages, but also to suppress the osteoclasticcell differentiation, thereby possibly increasing bone matrix deposition and decreasing bone resorption, and eventually modulating bone metabolism in OA.

Comparison of Intra-articular Hyaluronic Acid Injections With Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation for the Management of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: TENS with silver spike point electrodes was observed to be more effective than intra-articular HA injection for patients with knee osteoarthritis in improving the VAS for pain at 2 weeks' follow-up as well as the Lequesne index at 2week, 2 months, and 3 months' following-up.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Assessing the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials : is blinding necessary?

TL;DR: An instrument to assess the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in pain research is described and its use to determine the effect of rater blinding on the assessments of quality is described.

Grading quality of evidence and strength of recommendations.

TL;DR: A system for grading the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations that can be applied across a wide range of interventions and contexts is developed, and a summary of the approach from the perspective of a guideline user is presented.

Primary, Secondary, and Meta-Analysis of Research

TL;DR: The meta-analysis of research as discussed by the authors is an important feature of the research and evaluation enterprise, and it has been widely used in the field of computer science and computer engineering, especially in the context of education.
