According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, over 2 million Australians are living with osteoarthritis — a condition that results from the degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, particularly in the knees, hips, hands, and feet. But is osteoarthritis simply a result of 'wear and tear'? And more importantly, what can be done about it? On this edition, we'll explore not only what causes knee osteoarthritis, but also hear about a range of treatment and management options available — that can help people maintain their mobility and quality of life.

University of Galway spinout, Relevium Medical, has been awarded €4.6 million in Government funding to develop an immediate and long-lasting treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Relevium Medical secured the investment for their RestOAre project to develop therapies for debilitating chronic pain and disease progression of knee osteoarthritis. Research by University of Galway academics has played a key role in the project, including innovative pain modelling and drug screening, along with scientific analysis of biomolecules derived from marine organisms which target receptors in the knee. The funding was awarded through the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF), which is managed by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and administered by Enterprise Ireland. It will support the development of a treatment that offers patients immediate long-lasting pain relief and reduced progression of knee osteoarthritis. The disease is incurable, complex and progressively worsens over time impacting the whole joint structure. It is the fastest-growing cause of disability due to an ageing population and the obesity epidemic. Affecting more people each year than cancer and heart disease, knee osteoarthritis (OA) is routinely described as the world's largest hidden disability, with 250 million people globally living with knee OA, and the prevalence has doubled in the past 50 years. The multibillion-euro knee OA market is primed for disruption with the majority of patients relying on damaging oral pain medications. Professor Peter McHugh, Interim President of the University of Galway, said, "This Government investment is one of the most significant Disruptive Technologies Innovation Funds awarded to the University of Galway, and for one of our spinout companies to secure it, it demonstrates the scale of our ambition and impact as a global leader in research and innovation excellence. "Relevium Medical's treatment for knee osteoarthritis is ground-breaking and the team has global ambitions to improve the lives of people who live in chronic pain from the disease. The University's commitment to a high calibre of research-led collaborations with industry will ensure we continue to develop transformative needs-led solutions for society." Founded in 2019, Relevium Medical is a spinout from the University of Galway BioInnovate Ireland programme and currently employs a team of nine people. The project consortium is led by Relevium Medical in partnership with HookeBio (Ireland), and a research team led by Dr Leo Quinlan from the University of Galway's College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences which developed innovative pain model platforms and a drug screen programme, and Professor Olivier Thomas from University of Galway's College of Science and Engineering which analysed biomolecules derived from marine organisms that uniquely target the key receptors the team have identified in knee osteoarthritis. Dr Alison Liddy, Chief Executive and co-founder of Relevium Medical, said, "We are thrilled to lead this groundbreaking €4.6 million project in partnership with the University of Galway and HookeBio, to advance this innovative solution for knee osteoarthritis. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in addressing a condition that impacts millions worldwide and underscores Relevium Medical's commitment to building a robust R&D pipeline." Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Peter Burke T.D., and Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Patrick O'Donovan T.D., announced the funding of €4.6 million to Relevium Medical, the first project to emerge under Call 7 of the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund. Professor Martin O'Halloran, Director of BioInnovate Ireland, University of Galway and co-founder of Relevium Medical, said, "BioInnovate is delighted to see this alumni company growing and scaling, with the significant support of Enterprise Ireland and the DTIF progra...
This week, we dive into the pressing need to shift osteoarthritis management away from costly, invasive procedures like knee replacements toward more accessible, non-surgical treatments. Professor Ilana Ackerman from Monash University joins us to discuss why lifestyle changes - exercise, diet, and education - should be the first line of care, backed by compelling research that shows these approaches can delay or even avoid the need for surgery. Yet, despite the evidence, reimbursement for these programs remains limited, and many patients end up with surgeries they might not truly need. We explore the financial and health system benefits of funding non-surgical programs, which could save the Australian healthcare system hundreds of millions of dollars annually. This episode is a call to action for policymakers, healthcare providers, and anyone impacted by osteoarthritis to advocate for better access to preventive care.Tune in to learn how empowering patients with non-surgical options can lead to better outcomes, substantial cost savings, and a more personalised path for managing osteoarthritis.RESOURCESPrevious episodesThe volume of joint replacement surgeries for osteoarthritis is not sustainable with Prof Ilana Ackerman, Season 3, Episode 13Journal articlesLifetime Cost-Effectiveness of Structured Education and Exercise Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis in Australia Implementing a national first-line management program for moderate-severe knee osteoarthritis in Australia: A budget impact analysis focusing on knee replacement avoidance CONNECT WITH USTwitter: @ProfDavidHunter @jointactionorgInstagram: @osteoarthritisresearchgroupEmail: hello@jointaction.infoWebsite: www.jointaction.info/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Broadcast from KSQD Santa Cruz on 6-13-2024 Alzheimer's Disease and APOE4 Gene Listener asks about the APOE4 gene and its association with Alzheimer's disease in the light of a recent sensationalistic Nature publication. The impact of amyloid beta and TAU proteins on Alzheimer's pathology. Differences in Alzheimer's risk among different ethnic groups with APOE4 with emphasis on the importance of cholesterol levels as a risk multiplier. Advice for a listener's husband dealing with chronic back pain and sciatica Dr. Dawn presents a basic checklist for evaluating back pain symptoms and determining the need for urgent medical intervention. Potential causes are discussed such as spinal nerve compression from various sources. In this case, Dr. Dawn made a specific suggestion of McKenzie exercises and emphasized the importance of seeing a sports medicine doctor or physiatrist for a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Dawn responds to a caller about managing knee osteoarthritis The role of glucosamine, chondroitin, and topical diclofenac in treatment. Discussion on non-pharmaceutical approaches like heat application and massage. Potential interventions like steroid injections, hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma and their benefits and risks. Dr. Dawn answers a question about dietary oxalates and their impact on kidney stones She emphasizes the importance of the oxalate content in foods and its limited role in kidney stone formation. She emphasizes the importance of hydration and maintaining a healthy microbiome. For specific dietary guidelines on oxalate in foods she suggests using oxalate.org. A concerned parent asks about aluminum and other vaccine adjuvants like formaldehyde for their infant's 2 month well child visit She expresses conflicting fears of being mischaracterized as a vaccine denier by merely expressing concern about vaccination for her infant. Dr. Dawn provides a breakdown of the necessity, immediate urgency and risks of each recommended vaccine (Hepatitis B, DTaP, Polio, Hib, Pneumococcal, Rotavirus) and suggests a social contextualization strategy to perhaps delay Polio, rotavirus and Hep B in this family's social context while emphasizing the importance of certain vaccinations to prevent serious illnesses. Dr. Dawn cites intriguing ambiguities in the literature that support the counterintuitive idea that smaller doses of aluminum may have a greater accumulation in tissues of brain and reproductive tissues than larger doses, and promises to research this further in a future program.
In this episode, Erica explores new and novel ways to evaluate and treat the knee. She discusses different approaches aimed at providing a more accurate assessment of the knee. Join her as she emphasizes the importance of training your vision. What does "optimal" movement look like for that particular patient? Does what you see match what you feel? Are you assessing the knee in a movement that is relevant to the patient? If someone's right knee is sore when they are walking with that leg behind, then assessing the knee in dorsiflexion and knee flexion is not efficient or effective here. Train your vision to see what optimal movement looks like. And then put your hands on the femoral condyles and the joint lines to train your own brain to feel what is optimal. That's how you increase your clinical expertise. Erica also discusses a movement you can evaluate if the patient has a hard time squatting or lunging. Finally, do not discount the patient's prior history. An old untreated hamstring tear from years ago could absolutely be relevant to someone's increased knee pain. Makes sense, right? But we often forget that - do not ignore prior history and its importance to current symptoms.
