- The study investigates the impact of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on joint contracture caused by bleeding in the knee joints of rats.
- It involved dividing 42 rats into different groups to assess effects on joint motion and measure various biological markers related to fibrosis.
- Results indicated that shock wave treatment reduced joint contracture and fibrosis, providing evidence that joint bleeding worsens contracture and that shock waves may help alleviate this condition.
Maternal exposure to glucocorticoids has been associated with adverse outcomes in offspring. However, the consequences and mechanisms of gestational exposure to prednisone on susceptibility to osteoporosis in the offspring remain unclear. Here, we found that gestational prednisone exposure enhanced susceptibility to osteoporosis in adult mouse offspring.
