• Optical investigation of osteoarthritic human cartilage (ICRS grade) by confocal Raman spectroscopy: a pilot study 

      Kumar, Rajesh; Grønhaug, Kirsten Marie; Afseth, Nils Kristian; Isaksen, Vidar; Davies, Catharina de Lange; Drogset, Jon Olav; Lilledahl, Magnus Borstad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Biomolecular changes in the cartilage matrix during the early stage of osteoarthritis may be detected by Raman spectroscopy. The objective of this investigation was to determine vibrational spectral differences among different grades (grades I, II, and III) of osteoarthritis in human osteoarthritic cartilage, which was classified according to the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) grading ...

      Background: Physical examination tests of the shoulder (PETS) are clinical examination maneuvers designed to aid the assessment of shoulder complaints. Despite more than 180 PETS described in the literature, evidence of their validity and usefulness in diagnosing the shoulder is questioned. Methods: This meta-analysis aims to use diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) to evaluate how much PETS shift ...
