When the leading osteoarthritis (OA) thought leaders from across the globe recently gathered in Las Vegas, NV, experts from the 黑料网 Thurston Arthritis Research Center were there to share insights gleaned from important new research. While speaking in venues ranging from plenary sessions to poster presentations, Thurston scientists shared finding on topics ranging from how knee shape affects OA, to studies of the genetic influences on the development of OA.

Rheumatologist and researcher Amanda E. Nelson, MD, MSCR, was invited as one of seven OA experts to present to over 1,000 attendees at a plenary session on the most important clinical findings published in the past year. Her summary, resulting from a systematic review of the literature published since the previous OARSI meeting, focused on key topic areas such as the incidence and prevalence of OA, advances in OA treatments, the role of obesity in OA, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS); this work will be published as an article in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage later this year. Dr. Nelson also gave an oral presentation on her work on knee shape and OA risk.
