What. A. Day.💥 🦴The inaugural @henryfordhealth.bsky.social + @michiganstateu.bsky.social Musculoskeletal Research Retreat was an incredible success! 🤝~90 attendees from both institutions came together to build connections, share ideas, and spark collaboration. ➡️https://lnkd.in/eGK6VqNj

Pumped to see our team’s work on early inflammatory changes following knee surgery take center stage at #ACSM25 today! 🧠🗣️🔥 We’re showcasing how ultrasound gives us a clearer view into joint health and recovery after ACLR. 🔬🦵📈 Just getting started 💪📊 #OA #sportsmed #ACLR #ultrasound

Excited to attend the American College of Sports Medicine #ACSM25 meeting in Atlanta this week! Meet us at Booth 802 and check out how our new #pedar with lightweight #plidar technology can help advance your #sports and #biomechanics applications! For more information, visit www.novelusa.com/pedar

🚨 Now recruiting 2 PhD students @ MSU! Join a funded study investigating early arthritis after knee surgery using: – 🖥️ Ultrasound imaging – 🦵 Movement biomechanics – 🧠 Psychological & hormonal factors 📍: East Lansing, MI 📩: [email protected] | [email protected] 📸 Flyer below 👇

Excited to share our work on the small but mighty microRNA-126-3p in @naturecomms.bsky.social! We found this microRNA is elevated in four knee osteoarthritis cohorts and show in an animal model that it reduces the severity of knee osteoarthritis - at least in part via angiogenesis. rdcu.be/ebycj

📢 New research challenges BMI as a predictor of ACL recovery. Instead, body composition—lean vs. fat mass—better correlates with strength & function. 🔬 DXA showed: ✅ More lean mass → Stronger quads, better mobility ❌ More fat mass → Worse knee pain & performance 📉 BMI? No significant correlation.

📢 Interesting study in Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine 🦵🔬: Among 16,935 pediatric ACL reconstructions, 1.6% developed PTOA within 5 years. Key risk factors: ⚠️ Motion restoration surgery (OR = 5.0) 👶 Age ≤12 (OR = 4.8) ⏳ Delayed ACLR (OR = 1.8) ⚖️ Obesity (OR = 1.4) ⚡ Male sex (OR = 1.3)

🚨 NIH funding is at risk! 🚨 📢 Indirect cost rate changes could slow down life-saving medical research that patients depend on! ❤️🔬🧪 @aimbe-official made it easy to take action! 📩 Send a letter to Congress in under 1 minute! ⏳🏛️ 🔗 Act now: aimbe.org/advocate/wri… 📢 Spread the word#ScienceMattersrs

Thanks for this. I linked this thread in my Substack and made a script for people to use to contact their reps! fromthescienceclass.substack.com/p/biomedical...

🚨 NIH’s indirect cost policy might not stick. 🧪 Turns out, there’s already a law preventing NIH from making these changes without congressional approval. Hopefully there’s a good chance this IDC change won’t move forward as planned. Something to watch! 👀

🔬 NIH’s new policy to cap indirect costs at 15% is a major blow to research institutions. 🧪 💰 Less funding for operations = fewer resources for science. ⚠️ Small institutions may struggle to sustain research. 🏛️ This could impact the future of NIH-funded projects. 🔗 grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

🏆 Wireless ultrasound is a game-changer! 🔬 Our new study in Osteoarthritis Imaging confirms that Clarius wireless ultrasound probes accurately measure knee cartilage thickness—comparable to traditional systems. 📊 A big step toward more accessible ultrasound technology! 🔗: doi.org/10.1016/j.os...

Excited to share the first paper from my PhD in @kelseyhcollins.bsky.social lab where we show that IPFP images using MRI are related to pain and are different with age, obesity and sex. Collab with ⁦Richard Souza, Laura Chen, and ⁦Emma Nedley. ⁩ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🦋 Hello from AIR Labs! 🧪 We study how movement impacts knee OA after injury. Our research focuses on: 🏋️‍♂️ Biomechanics 🏃 Physical Activity 🩻 Structural Changes 📊 Early Symptoms 👍Our goal? Early detection & prevention of OA. 😁Excited to share & connect! #Ultrasound #Osteoarthritis #ACL #KneeHealth

I have started an Orthopaedic Research Starter Pack! Link: go.bsky.app/61hCir6. I am happy to add people -- comment below to be added!

🚨 Ultrasound + Bone Shape = New Research! 🚨 We developed a novel B-Score 🧮 using an ultrasound-based statistical shape model 🩻 to measure femoral bone shape post-ACLR 🦵 ✅ Accessible ✅ Accurate (92%!) ✅ Early detection potential 📖 Full study 👉shorturl.at/lto3A
