Introduction: The risk factors linked to hand osteoarthritis (OA) that contribute to its distinct symptoms and clinical presentation are not thoroughly understood. This study aimed to examine whether the autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) autoantibodies, anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), associate with hand OA and symptomatic hand OA in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).
Materials And Methods: We included 2,429 persons from NHANES III ≥60 years of age.

The standard treatment for mucous cysts with Heberden nodes is excision of the dorsolateral osteophytes and capsule of the distal interphalangeal joint or thumb interphalangeal joint, including the stalk of the cyst. The skin incision varies for cases depending upon the geometry. We propose a surgical method utilizing blind lateral approaches for treating such mucous cysts.

Background: Hand disorders are common in menopausal women. Equol is a soy metabolite produced in humans and its production level differs among individuals. The purpose of this research is to investigate the correlative relationship between variables indicating equol production levels and the occurrence of hand disorders in menopausal and postmenopausal women.

Objective: Therapy for osteoarthritis ideally aims at preserving structure before radiographic change occurs. This study tests: a) whether longitudinal deterioration in cartilage thickness and composition (transverse relaxation-time T2) are greater in radiographically normal knees "at risk" of incident osteoarthritis than in those without risk factors; and b) which risk factors may be associated with these deteriorations.
Design: 755 knees from the Osteoarthritis Initiative were studied; all were bilaterally Kellgren Lawrence grade [KLG] 0 initially, and had magnetic resonance images available at 12- and 48-month follow-up.
