The Solution Is Injury Prevention
American Journal of Public Health, 2004 I awoke this morning to the news that another American life was tragically lost because of a preventable injury, and I wondered why our nation has been so complacent about this problem. Then I remembered the retort I received from a policymaker the last time I sought funding for an injury program: “Injury is not a public health problem!” In 2000 ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Walk With Ease (WWE) is a six‐week arthritis‐appropriate evidence‐based physical activity program traditionally offered in a face‐to‐face format. Because many populations encounter participation barriers to in‐person programs, WWE was modified for telephone delivery (WWE‐T).

New Mechanics of Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 The prediction and prevention of traumatic brain injury is a very important aspect of preventive medical science. This paper proposes a new coupled loading-rate hypothesis for the traumatic brain injury (TBI), which states that the main cause of the TBI is an external Euclidean jolt, or SE(3)-jolt, an impulsive loading that strikes the head in several ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective The increasing burden associated with low back pain (LBP) is a critical issue. This is a novel analysis of trends in risk factors for LBP aiming to identify risk factors that require further attention or consideration in global policies to reduce the burden of LBP.

Reaction-Diffusion-Delay Model for EPO/TNF-$α$? Interaction in Articular Cartilage Lesion Abatement [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Injuries to articular cartilage result in the development of lesions that form on the surface of the cartilage. Such lesions are associated with articular cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis. The typical injury response often causes collateral damage, primarily an effect of inflammation, which results in the spread of lesions beyond the region ...

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

A Measure of Control for Secondary Cytokine-Induced Injury of Articular Cartilage: A Computational Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 In previous works, the author and collaborators establish a mathematical model for injury response in articular cartilage. In this paper we use mathematical software and computational techniques, applied to an existing model to explore in more detail how the behavior of cartilage cells is influenced by several of, what are believed to be, the most ...
