That's because there just aren't many new techniques to report on... at least few that actually work. Occasionally, though, there are exceptions. If you've been searching for a novel way to ramp up muscle growth, here's a strategy that you might not have considered â blood flow restriction (BFR) training.
Synovitis can be caused by a wide variety of illnesses including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatic disease and sickle cell anemia. Synovitis of the knee can also be caused by injury or cancer.
A rare, slow-growing, benign tumor of the synovial membranes (pigmented villonodular synovitis [PVNS]) can cause pain and swelling in the knee synovium in 80% of cases and to a lesser extent may involve hip, ankle, or shoulder joints (McGrath). Synovitis is commonly confirmed with arthroscopic examination. Temporomandibular (TM) joints, which are found where the lower jaw joins the skull, are unusual locations. Incidence and Prevalence: Synovitis is not sex-specific, although rheumatoid arthritis, for which persistent inflammatory synovitis is a characteristic feature, is 3 times more common in women than in men (Venkateshan). Prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis is 0.8% of the population (Venkateshan).
