TLDR
Twenty-five carefully worded recommendations have been generated based on a critical appraisal of existing guidelines, a systematic review of research evidence and the consensus opinions of an international, multidisciplinary group of experts for the management of hip and knee osteoarthritis.About:

Infrared (810 nm) low-level laser therapy in rat achilles tendinitis: a consistent alternative to drugs
Rodrigo Labat Marcos,Ernesto Cesar Pinto Leal Junior,Felipe de Moura Messias Messias,Maria Helena Catelli de Carvalho,Rodney Capp Pallotta,Lucio Frigo,Rosângela Aparecida Dos Santos,Luciano Ramos,Simone A. Teixeira,Jan Magnus Bjordal,Rodrigo Álvaro Brandão Lopes-Martins +10 more
TL;DR: LLLT may have potential to become a new and safer nondrug alternative to coxibs as LLLT seems to act on inflammation through a selective inhibition of the COX‐2 isoform in collagenase‐induced tendinitis.

Osteoarthritis in women: effects of estrogen, obesity and physical activity
TL;DR: Future investigations should focus on sex-specific mechanisms for the development of OA and determine whether there are modifiable factors (e.g., estrogen, obesity, physical activity) that can be targeted through prevention and treatment strategies to mitigate the increased incidence and prevalence of Oa in women.

Adelmidrol, in combination with hyaluronic acid, displays increased anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects against monosodium iodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis in rats
Rosanna Di Paola,Roberta Fusco,Daniela Impellizzeri,Marika Cordaro,Domenico Britti,Valeria Maria Morittu,Maurizio Evangelista,Salvatore Cuzzocrea,Salvatore Cuzzocrea +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the combination of hyaluronic acid and adelmidrol improves the signs of OA induced by MIA, and degeneration of articular cartilage, mast cell infiltration, and pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine plasma levels were significantly downregulated by treatment with a combination of Hyaluronics acid andAdelmidro.

Musculoskeletal pain and menopause
TL;DR: Although the association appears strong, a causal link between estrogen deficiency and musculoskeletal pain or different types of arthritis is lacking; there have been few studies specifically within this group of symptomatic patients, and there is much still to understand about musculo-letal pain and arthritis at the time of the menopause, and about how to prevent or treat this.

Nutraceuticals in the management of osteoarthritis : a critical review.
Ryan L. Ragle,Allen D. Sawitzke +1 more
TL;DR: Given the good safety profile of nutraceuticals, the marginal efficacy of conventional treatments, the high prevalence and rate of disability from OA and the possible benefit of nut raceuticals to patients with OA, use of nutRaceuticals in select patients is appropriate.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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?
Alejandro R. Jadad,R. A. Moore,Dawn Carroll,C. Jenkinson,David Reynolds,David J. Gavaghan,Henry J McQuay +6 more
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.

O'Connell,Andrew D Oxman,Bob Phillips,Holger J. Schünemann,Tessa Tan-Torres Edejer,H. Varonen,Gunn Elisabeth Vist,John W Williams,Stephanie Zaza +26 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
