Droplet breakup driven by shear thinning solutions in a microfluidic T-Junction [PDF]
Droplet-based microfluidics turned out to be an efficient and adjustable platform for digital analysis, encapsulation of cells, drug formulation, and polymerase chain reaction. Typically, for most biomedical applications, the handling of complex, non-Newtonian fluids is involved, e.g. synovial and salivary fluids, collagen, and gel scaffolds.

What’s New in the Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infections: Focus on Synovial Fluid Biomarkers
Periprosthetic joint infections are some of the leading causes of revision prosthetic surgery, accounting for 25% of failed total knee replacements and 15% of failed total hip replacements.

Neutrophils are highly abundant in synovial fluid of rheumatic inflamed joints. In oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), synovial fluid neutrophils have impaired effector functions and altered phenotype.

Serum and Synovial Fluid Interleukin-6 for the Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection
A gold standard for diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has not yet been established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum and synovial fluid interleukin (IL)-6 levels for PJI.

Biomarker of extracellular matrix remodelling C1M and proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 are related to synovitis and pain in end-stage knee osteoarthritis patients [PDF]
Little is known about local and systemic biomarkers in relation to synovitis and pain in end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) patients. We investigated the associations between the novel extracellular matrix biomarker, C1M, and local and systemic interleukin 6 (IL-6) with synovitis and pain.

Objective: To validate a quantitative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for chondroitin sulfate (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in synovial fluid, and to analyze glycan-patterns in patient samples.

Automated segmentation of rheumatoid arthritis immunohistochemistry stained synovial tissue [PDF]
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease which primarily affects the joint's synovial tissue. It is a highly heterogeneous disease, with wide cellular and molecular variability observed in synovial tissues. Over the last two decades, the methods available for their study have advanced considerably.

Objective: To investigate whether presepsin can be used as a novel biomarker to differentiate between native joint septic arthritis (NJSA) and crystal arthritis (CA). Methods: This study included 75 patients diagnosed with either NJSA (n = 21) or CA (n =

Knee Effusion with Peripheral Eosinophilia: A Need to Rule out Idiopathic Eosinophilic Synovitis [PDF]
Synovial Fluid Eosinophilia (SFE) is a rare finding. Minor SFE is defined as 10% eosinophils of the total leucocyte count in SF. The aetiology and pathophysiology of eosinophilic synovitis is unclear.
