Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Osteoarthritis," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Osteoarthritis in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Osteoarthritis when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Osteoarthritis, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
What Is Osteoarthritis?Osteoarthritis (AH-stee-oh-ar-THREYE-tis) is the mostcommon type of arthritis, especially among olderpeople. Sometimes it is called degenerative joint diseaseor osteoarthrosis.Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that mostly affects thecartilage (KAR-til-uj). Cartilage is the slippery tissue thatcovers the ends of bones in a joint. Healthy cartilageallows bones to glide over one another. It also absorbsenergy from the shock of physical movement. In osteoarthritis,the surface layer of cartilage breaks down andwears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rubtogether, causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion ofthe joint. Over time, the joint may lose its normal shape.Also, bone spurs—small growths called osteophytes—may grow on the edges of the joint. Bits of bone or cartilagecan break off and float inside the joint space. Thiscauses more pain and damage.People with osteoarthritis usually have joint pain andlimited movement. Unlike some other forms of arthritis,osteoarthritis affects only joints and not internal organs.For example, rheumatoid arthritis—the second mostcommon form of arthritis—affects other parts of thebody besides the joints. It begins at a younger age thanosteoarthritis, causes swelling and redness in joints, andmay make people feel sick, tired, and (uncommonly) feverish. ... Read more

Product Description

Nearly all Americans will develop arthritis to some degree as they get older. The first book of its kind, Osteoarthritis: Public Health Implications for an Aging Population, gathers together leaders in the fields of rheumatology, epidemiology, gerontology, and rehabilitation to present a new perspective on osteoarthritis as the prototypical chronic disorder associated with the aging process.

A groundbreaking analysis of the study and treatment of osteoarthritis, the book thoroughly examines the links between aging, public health, and the consequences of osteoarthritis. The authors explore the association of aging and disease, quality of life until death, and long-term health care. They look at the phenomenon of osteoarthritis and disablement in the aging process. They discuss the use of exercise as a therapeutic intervention to promote health in older adults and improve function in osteoarthritis. And they look to the future to present prospects for early diagnosis, advanced treatments and therapies, and even health practices that may prevent the disease.

Filled with straightforward information, insightful suggestions for health care promotion, and intriguing ideas about the relationship between age-related disease and the aging process, this text will be of interest to professionals, caregivers, and all individuals concerned with aging and health.
