Mechanical performance comparison of two surgical constructs for wrist four-corner arthrodesis via dorsal and radial approaches [PDF]

Nerve growth factor receptors in equine synovial membranes vary with osteoarthritic disease severity
Abstract Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophin that has been implicated in pain signaling, apoptosis, inflammation and proliferation. The resultant effects depend on interaction with two different receptors; tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) and p75NTR. NGF increases in synovial fluid from osteoarthritic joints, and monoclonal antibody therapy is trialed ...
