(9) In the deforming osteo-arthrosis (150 observations) in the synovial sheath there were usually noted drastic sclerosis and atrophy of organ-specific structures, impairmement of the production of the synovial fluid, and dystrophic falling into fibers of the articular cartilage with intensive proliferation of the cartilage cells.

(11) They were also asked to define the terms arthrosis and herniated disc once before the BS and twice after the program.
(12) Arthritis and arthrosis may be differentiated by the different distribution and extent of hyperthermia.
(13) This aetiological differentiation has the aim of counteracting the facile diagnosis of primary arthrosis and is based on more elaborate diagnostic methods concerning the condition of the bone and cartilage.
(14) In arthrosis the intraosseous pressure was normal, whereas intraosseous hypertension was present in necrosis.
(15) With reference to cartilage, the lesions of Paget's coxopathies presented several specific characteristics compared with those of common arthrosis : (1) the presence of particularly numerous cupshaped defects on the remaining cartilage; (2) a very basophilic, intra- and extra-cytoplasmic substance impregnated the chondroplasts of the bottom layer, nine times out of twenty-six, an anomaly not observed in cases of arthrosis; (3) pseudo-angiomatous vascular outgrowths from the bone, flush with the articular surface of the acetabulum are a source of bleeding during surgery.
(16) The subjects were 37 female patients with juvenile TMJ arthrosis (T group) and 27 healthy females (N group) who visited the Dept.
(17) The patients in the group, that had received more conservative treatment with an average 6.3 years between lesion and surgical treatment (group 1), had the highest incidence of arthrosis, with 73.6%.
(18) An arthrosis of severity O due to sclerosis is of no, or only little, significance; it does not share the poor prognosis of severity grades I to III which, once they have developed, always show further deterioration.
(19) Results of this study indicated that, in patients with acquired stenosis secondary to facet arthrosis, posterior compression of the thecal sac by epidural fat was identified.
(20) Macroscopic observation as well as light and electromicroscopy revealed lesions comparable to those observed in patients with chondromalacia of the patella and arthrosis.
Degenerative
Definition:
(a.) Undergoing or producing degeneration; tending to degenerate.
Example Sentences:
(1) Nutritional factors or environmental toxins have important effects on CNS degenerative changes.
(2) Compared with conservative management, better long-term success (determined by return of athletic soundness and less evidence of degenerative joint disease) was achieved with surgical curettage of elbow subchondral cystic lesions.
(3) The earliest degenerative changes were seen in sensory and motor terminals at 20-24 h after the lesion.
(4) Apparently these two degenerative macular conditions are different.
(5) It is also suggested that degenerative changes occur in the dentate gyrus and may be involved in the delayed neural death of CA1 pyramidal cells.
(6) Interphase death thus involves a discrete, abrupt transition from the normal state and is not merely the consequence of progressive and degenerative changes.
(7) Pathological changes may, thus, be initially confined to projecting and intrinsic neurons localized in cortical and subcortical olfactory structures; arguments are advanced which favor the view that excitotoxic phenomena could be mainly responsible for the overall degenerative picture.
(8) Structurally altered polymorphic variants with reduced activity, such as tetrameric interface mutant Ile-58 to Thr, may produce not only an early selective advantage, through enhanced cytotoxicity of tumor necrosis factor for virus-infected cells, but also detrimental effects from increased mitochondrial oxidative damage, contributing to degenerative conditions, including diabetes, aging, and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.
(9) Gyrate atrophy is a hereditary chorioretinal degenerative disease caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme, ornithine aminotransferase (OAT).
(10) The correlation of posterior intervertebral (facet) joint tropism (asymmetry), degenerative facet disease, and intervertebral disc disease was reviewed in a retrospective study of magnetic resonance images of the lumbar spine from 100 patients with complaints of low back pain and sciatica.
(11) This may help explain the poor correlation of low-back pain with radiographic degenerative changes reported in previous epidemiologic studies.
(12) Hypermobility and instability following injury and degenerative joint disease is poorly understood and often not recognized as the cause of the patients symptoms.
(13) Lumbosacral spine films revealed only minimal degenerative changes, while lumbar myelogram showed L4-L5 and L5-S1 ventral extradural defects.
(14) Indications for this procedure are discussed in relation to injuries and tumoral, degenerative and malformatory lesions.
(15) Prions are novel, transmissible pathogens causing degenerative diseases of the central nervous system both in humans and in animals.
(16) This is believed to be the first reported case of degenerative cardiomyopathy in a captive marsupial in Nigeria.
