OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to determine the sensitivity of the current standard for synovial fluid leukocytosis analysis in diagnosing infectious arthritis or a septic joint. How accurate ...

A normal synovium, which is usually one or two cell layers thick, produces synovial fluid that helps lubricate the joint. When the synovium grows too bulky, it produces too much synovial fluid, which ...

This study provides useful information by identifying the cell type (macrophages) in synovial tissues involved in the pathogenesis of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (OA) and clarifying distinct ...

Little is known about discrete cell types and molecular mechanisms in PTOA synovium. We aimed to describe synovial cell populations and their dynamics in PTOA, with a focus on fibroblasts. We also ...

Fluid dynamics is the study of the motion of liquids, gases and plasmas. Flow is dependent on the intrinsic properties of the matter itself, such as compressibility, viscosity and density. Example ...

Doctors analyze cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to help identify conditions that affect your brain and spine. CSF samples are typically collected through a lumbar (spinal) tap. CSF is the clear fluid ...

Elbow bursitis (EB), or olecranon bursitis, can cause a painless buildup of fluid on the elbow. It occurs due to inflammation of the olecranon bursa, the small fluid-filled sac on the tip of the ...

The research team proved cytology brushes—specifically, those used to test for cervical cancer—could collect cellular material containing DNA from documents dating back to 700 C.E. without ...

Generally two to three layers of cells are removed in one application but deeper cells can be accessed by repeat application over the same site. Applications for impression cytology include diagnosing ...
