Systematic review and meta-analysis comparing land and aquatic exercise for people with hip or knee arthritis on function, mobility and other health outcomes

TL;DR: Outcomes following aquatic exercise for adults with arthritis appear comparable to land based exercise, with considerable variability between trials in key program characteristics including prescribed exercises and design quality.

Trends in prescription of opioids from 2003-2009 in persons with knee osteoarthritis.

TL;DR: Whether the use of opioids in older persons with OA has increased over the past decade and what patient characteristics may correlate with their use is examined.

Self-assembling nanoparticles for intra-articular delivery of anti-inflammatory proteins.

TL;DR: A new block copolymer that assembles into submicron-scale particles and provides for covalently tethering proteins to the particle surface for controlled intra-articular protein delivery is designed, which efficiently bound IL-1Ra and maintained protein bioactivity in vitro.

A comparison of long- and short-acting opioids for the treatment of chronic noncancer pain: tailoring therapy to meet patient needs.

TL;DR: No data is found to suggest that either SAOs or LAOs are generally more efficacious for treating any particular CNCP condition, and the LAOs may provide more stable analgesia with less frequent dosing; however, opioid therapy should be tailored to the pain state and the individual patient, and SAOs may be appropriate for some patients with C NCP.

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.
