body weight during athletic events.6 Tracking and, therefore, chondral surface contact pressure is a function of both structural and dynamic anatomy. Numerous studies have been performed that confirm the anatomic and mechanical relationship with PF pathologies. Jungmann et al. associated trochlear dysplasia with PF cartilage degeneration by comparing trochlear

water aerobics. Aquatic exercise is a commonly recommended intervention because it not only alleviates OA symptoms through weight loss and exercise but is often better tolerated due to decreased joint pressure and fall risk.9 However, aquatic centers may be cost prohibitive or inaccessible for many patients. There have been

bodies without the need for explanation. LANGUAGE AND FLUID IDENTITIES There is a small but significant population, primarily consisting of teenagers and young adults (millennials) as far as I can tell, who decry the lack of appropriate descriptors for their gender and sexual identities. The truth is, maybe

body mass index (BMI); for example, BMI greater than 40 kg/m2 increased the risk for infection by 3.3 times, whereas BMI greater than 50 kg/m2 increased the risk for infection by 21 times.48,49 Obesity is also associated with an increased risk for other comorbidities such as diabetes, cardiac

body types and facial features” (2002, p. 233). These findings, along with the significantly higher than average suicide rates, support the need for competent and ethical clinical practices and improved treatment of individuals identifying as trans in mental health settings. RESILIENCE Understanding the historical insights and philosophical underpinnings

body bone scan are important staging studies to assess the extent of disease. The use of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)-CT in osteosarcoma treatment is increasing but is not currently the standard of care. In general, osteosarcoma is treated using a multidisciplinary approach with cytotoxic neoadjuvant chemotherapy

water to hydrate the ECM.12 When the structure of the ECM becomes disorganized due to defects in its molecular components, it loses much of its mechanical strength leading to hypermobility among other clinical manifestations. Marfan syndrome affects elastin via alterations in the glycoprotein fibrillin, which functions as a scaffold
