Occurrence of symptomatic knee osteoarthrosis in rural Finland: a prospective follow up study.
All visits to physicians in the Orivesi Region Federation of Municipalities for Public Health Work in Finland paid due to symptomatic osteoarthrosis of the knee joint were prospectively recorded over a period of one year. Two hundred and thirty four visits were made, accounting for 0.63% of all visits. The prevalence of knee osteoarthrosis was 1.11% (men 0.45%, women 1.72%), and the incidence was 0.60%. The disease occurred almost twice as often in the right knee than in the left. The study provides basic information about patients needing medical help because of symptomatic knee osteoarthrosis. The results can be used as an aid to the planning of examination and treatment resources and in assessment of the need for such services.

Manufacture of polyalkylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles with pilocarpine and timolol by micelle polymerization: factors influencing particle formation.
Nanoparticles with pilocarpine and timolol were produced by micelle polymerization. The influence of manufacturing temperature, type of monomer, drug concentration and ethylcyanoacrylate concentration on the particle size were investigated with a Coulter Nano Sizer. The nanoencapsulation succeeded only with the pilocarpine or timolol base, not with the salts of these drugs. Different micelle formation in aqueous medium compared with organic solvents was evidently responsible for this phenomenon. The particle formation was affected both by the manufacturing temperature and the type of monomer. The smallest particles were produced at lower temperatures and with the most lipophilic monomers. The monomer and drug concentration had very little influence on the particle size. The nanoparticles made with pilocarpine were, in general, much bigger than those made with timolol.
