The TrkA receptor is associated with several diseases such as Inflammatory arthritis, keratoconus, functional dyspepsia and, in some cases, over expression has been linked to cancer development. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] In other cases, such as neuroblastoma Trk A acts as a promising prognostic indicator as it has the potential to induce terminal ...
[4] [5] Arthrofibrosis can follow knee injury and knee surgeries like arthroscopic knee surgery or knee replacement. Scar tissue can cause structures of the knee to become contracted, restricting normal motion. Depending on the site of scarring, knee cap mobility and/or joint range of motion (i.e. flexion, extension, or both) may be affected. [6]
There are several case reports of spontaneous regressions from cancer occurring after a fever brought on by infection, [2] [6] suggesting a possible causal connection. If this coincidence in time would be a causal connection, it should as well precipitate as prophylactic effect, i.e. feverish infections should lower the risk to develop cancer ...
Similarly, total knee replacement can be performed to correct mild valgus or varus deformity. Serious valgus or varus deformity should be corrected by osteotomy. Physical therapy has been shown to improve function, and may delay or prevent the need for knee replacement. Pain often is noted when performing physical activities requiring a wide ...
Cancer treatments are a wide range of treatments available for the many different types of cancer, with each cancer type needing its own specific treatment. [1] Treatments can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapy including small-molecule drugs or monoclonal antibodies, [2] and PARP inhibitors such as olaparib.

Doctors said bump on woman's knee was harmless. It was stage 3 sarcoma. She participated in a Stand Up 2 Cancer clinical trial and is cancer free.
Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another. In biomechanics and strength training , ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [ 1 ]
The beam is made up of a spectrum of energies: the maximum energy is approximately equal to the beam's maximum electric potential within a linear accelerator times the electron charge. For instance, a 1 megavolt beam will produce photons with a maximum energy around 1 MeV. In practice, the mean X-ray energy is about one-third of the maximum energy.
