Microfluidic aqueous two phase system for leukocyte concentration from whole blood
Creators: name: SooHoo, Jeffrey R.
name: Walker, Glenn M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Leukocytes from a whole blood sample were concentrated using a microfluidic aqueous two phase system (μATPS). Whole blood was simultaneously exposed to polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dextran (Dex) phase streams and cells were partitioned based on their differential affinity for the streams. The laminar flow characteristic of microfluidic devices was used to create zero, one, and two stable interfaces between the polymer streams. Three different patterns of three polymer streams each were evaluated for their effectiveness in concentrating leukocytes: immiscible PEG-PEG-Dex, immiscible Dex-PEG-Dex, and miscible PEG-PBS-Dex. The most effective configuration was the Dex-PEG-Dex stream pattern which on average increased the ratio of leukocytes to erythrocytes by a factor of 9.13 over unconcentrated blood.

Adjustment for Missingness Using Auxiliary Information in Semiparametric Regression
Creators: name: Chen, Qingxia
name: Zeng, Donglin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: In this article, we study the estimation of mean response and regression coefficient in semiparametric regression problems when response variable is subject to nonrandom missingness. When the missingness is independent of the response conditional on high-dimensional auxiliary information, the parametric approach may misspecify the relationship between covariates and response while the nonparametric approach is infeasible because of the curse of dimensionality. To overcome this, we study a model-based approach to condense the auxiliary information and estimate the parameters of interest nonparametrically on the condensed covariate space. Our estimators possess the double robustness property, i.e., they are consistent whenever the model for the response given auxiliary covariates or the model for the missingness given auxiliary covariate is correct. We conduct a number of simulations to compare the numerical performance between our estimators and other existing estimators in the current missing data literature, including the propensity score approach and the inverse probability weighted estimating equation. A set of real data is used to illustrate our approach.
Exercise in the management of knee and hip osteoarthritis

Publisher: name: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
Year: 2018

description: Purpose of review This review focuses on studies published during July 2001 to August 2017 of exercise as an intervention in knee and hip osteoarthritis, including its influence on an array of patient outcomes. Recent findings Studies continue to illustrate the efficacy of exercise in treating and managing osteoarthritis, with current literature more focused on the knee compared with the hip joint. Both traditional (e.g. strength, aerobic, flexibility) and more nontraditional (e.g. yoga, Tai Chi, aquatic) training modes improve patient outcomes related to joint symptoms, mobility, quality of life, psychological health, musculoskeletal properties, body composition, sleep, and fatigue. Exercise that is adequately dosed (e.g. frequency, intensity) and progressive in nature demonstrated the greatest improvements in patient outcomes. Supervised, partially supervised, and nonsupervised interventions can be successful in the treatment of osteoarthritis, but patient preference regarding level of supervision and mode of exercise may be key predictors in exercise adherence and degree of outcome improvement. A topic of increasing interest in osteoarthritis is the supplementary role of behavior training in exercise interventions. Summary Osteoarthritis is a complex, multifactorial disease that can be successfully managed and treated through exercise, with minimal risk for negative consequences. However, to have greatest impact, appropriate exercise prescription is needed. Efforts to achieve correct exercise doses and mitigate patient nonadherence are needed to lessen the lifelong burden of osteoarthritis.

description: Telling lies and faking emotions is quite common in human-human interactions: though there are risks, in many situations such behaviours provide social benefits. In recent years, there have been many social robots and chatbots that fake emotions or behave deceptively with their users. In this paper, I present a few examples of such robots and chatbots, and analyze their ethical aspects. Three scenarios are presented where some kind of lying or deceptive behaviour might be justified. Then five approaches to deceptive behaviours - no deception, blatant deception, tactful deception, nudging, and self deception - are discussed and their implications are analyzed. I conclude by arguing that we need to develop localized and culture-specific solutions to incorporating deception in social robots and chatbots.

description: Superqubits provide a supersymmetric generalisation of the conventional qubit in quantum information theory. After a review of their current status, we address the problem of generating entangled states. We introduce the global unitary supergroup $\text{UOSp}((3^n+1)/2 | (3^n-1)/2)$ for an $n$-superqubit system, which contains as a subgroup the local unitary supergroup $[\text{UOSp}(2|1)]^n$. While for $4>n>1$ the bosonic subgroup in $\text{UOSp}((3^n+1)/2 | (3^n-1)/2)$ does not contain the standard global unitary group $\text{SU}(2^n)$, it does have an $\text{USp}(2^n)\subset\text{SU}(2^n)$ subgroup which acts transitively on the $n$-qubit subspace, as required for consistency with the conventional multi-qubit framework. For two superqubits the $\text{UOSp}(5|4)$ action is used to generate entangled states from the "bosonic" separable state $|00\rangle$.

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: In this work we consider the learning setting where, in addition to the training set, the learner receives a collection of auxiliary hypotheses originating from other tasks. We focus on a broad class of ERM-based linear algorithms that can be instantiated with any non-negative smooth loss function and any strongly convex regularizer. We establish generalization and excess risk bounds, showing that, if the algorithm is fed with a good combination of source hypotheses, generalization happens at the fast rate $\mathcal{O}(1/m)$ instead of the usual $\mathcal{O}(1/\sqrt{m})$. On the other hand, if the source hypotheses combination is a misfit for the target task, we recover the usual learning rate. As a byproduct of our study, we also prove a new bound on the Rademacher complexity of the smooth loss class under weaker assumptions compared to previous works.

description: A continuing problem in the area of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics is the poor access of these molecules to their sites of action in the nucleus or cytosol. A number of approaches to this problem have emerged. One of the most interesting is the use of ligand-oligonucleotide conjugates to promote receptor mediated cell uptake and delivery. Here we provide an overview of recent developments regarding targeted conjugates, including use of peptides, carbohydrates and small molecules as ligands. Additionally we discuss our own experience with this approach and point out both advantages and limitations.

description: Context: Overuse injuries are reported to account for nearly 50% of sports injuries and, due to their progressive nature and the uncertainty regarding date of onset, are difficult to define and categorize. Comparing the capture rates of overuse injuries between injury-surveillance systems and medical records can clarify completeness and determinants of how overuse injuries are represented in injury-surveillance data. Objective: To estimate the capture rate of time-loss medical-attention overuse injuries in men’s and women’s soccer in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System (NCAA ISS) compared with medical records maintained by certified athletic trainers and assess the differences in completeness of capture and factors contributing to those differences. Design: Capture-recapture study. Setting: Fifteen NCAA institutions provided NCAA ISS and medical record data from men’s and women’s soccer programs from 2005–2006 through 2007–2008. Patients or Other Participants: National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s and women’s soccer players. Main Outcome Measure(s): Time-loss medical-attention overuse injuries were defined as injuries with an overuse mechanism of injury in the NCAA ISS or medical records. Capture rates were calculated as the proportion of total overuse injuries classified as having overuse mechanisms in the NCAA ISS and the NCAA ISS and medical records combined. Results: The NCAA ISS captured 63.7% of the total estimated overuse mechanisms of injury in men’s and women’s soccer players. The estimated proportion of overuse injury mechanisms captured by both the NCAA ISS and medical records was 37.1%. The NCAA ISS captured more overuse injury mechanisms in men’s soccer than in women’s soccer (79.2% versus 45.0%, v2 ¼ 9.60; P ¼ .002) athletes. Conclusions: From 2005–2006 through 2007–2008, the NCAA ISS captured only two thirds of time-loss medical-attention overuse mechanisms of injury in men’s and women’s soccer players. Future researchers should consider supplementing injury-surveillance data with a clinical record review to capture the burden of these injuries.

description: BACKGROUND Adherence to antihypertensives is suboptimal, but previous methods of quantifying adherence fail to account for varying patterns of use over time. We sought to improve classification of antihypertensive adherence using group-based trajectory models, and to determine whether individual factors predict adherence trajectories. METHODS We identified older adults initiating antihypertensive therapy during 2008-2011 using a 20% sample of Medicare (federal health insurance available to US residents over the age of 65) beneficiaries enrolled in parts A (inpatient services), B (outpatient services), and D (prescription medication). We developed monthly adherence indicators using prescription fill dates and days supply data in the 12 months following initiation. Adherence was defined as having at least 80% of days covered. Logistic models were used to identify trajectory groups. Bayesian information criterion and trajectory group size were used to select the optimal trajectory model. We compared the distribution of covariates across trajectory groups using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS During 2008-2011, 282,520 Medicare beneficiaries initiated antihypertensive therapy (mean age 75 years, 60% women, 84% White). Six trajectories were identified ranging from perfect adherence (12-month adherence of 0.97, 40% of beneficiaries) to immediate stopping (12-month adherence of 0.10, 18% of beneficiaries). The strongest predictors of nonadherence were initiation with a single antihypertensive class (adjusted odds ratio = 2.08 (95% confidence interval: 2.00-2.13)), Hispanic (2.93 (2.75-3.11)) or Black race/ethnicity (2.04 (1.95-2.13)), and no prior history of hypertension (2.04 (2.00-2.08)) (Area under the receiving operating characteristic curve: 0.53). CONCLUSIONS There is substantial variation in antihypertensive adherence among older adults. Certain patient characteristics are likely determinants of antihypertensive adherence trajectories.

description: We generalize the theory of gradient flows of semi-convex functions on CAT(0)-spaces, developed by Mayer and Ambrosio--Gigli--Savaré, to CAT(1)-spaces. The key tool is the so-called "commutativity" representing a Riemannian nature of the space, and all results hold true also for metric spaces satisfying the commutativity with semi-convex squared distance functions. Our approach combining the semi-convexity of the squared distance function with a Riemannian property of the space seems to be of independent interest, and can be compared with Savaré's work on the local angle condition under lower curvature bounds. Applications include the convergence of the discrete variational scheme to a unique gradient curve, the contraction property and the evolution variational inequality of the gradient flow, and a Trotter--Kato product formula for pairs of semi-convex functions.

description: Seit vielen Jahren tragen technische Entwicklungen zu Veränderungen in den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens bei. Auch das Dating-Verhalten blieb von diesem Wandel nicht verschont und verlagerte sich durch das Online-Dating immer mehr in einen virtuellen Raum. Besonders für Männer bietet das Online-Dating viele Vorteile, um Bedürfnisse unterschiedlichster Art zu befriedigen. Dabei nutzen nicht nur heterosexuelle Männer vermehrt Online-Dating-Angebote. Denn auch für viele Männer, welche Sex mit anderen Männern haben (MSM), hat sich das Online-Dating zu einem geschützten Ort entwickelt, welcher zur Befriedigung unterschiedlicher Bedürfnisse genutzt wird. Ziel dieser empirischen Examensarbeit war es folglich herauszufinden, welche Bedürfnisse Männer mit unterschiedlichen sexuellen Orientierungen dazu motivieren, Online-Dating zu nutzen. Gleichzeitig wurde ein Einfluss der Persönlichkeit und der Art der Dating-Plattform auf die Motivation geprüft. Dafür wurden auf der Grundlage des Uses-and-Gratifications-Ansatzes und des bisherigen Forschungsstandes verschiedene Bedürfnisse in physische, soziale und psychosoziale Bedürfnisse klassifiziert und operationalisiert. Für die Integration der Persönlichkeitsvariable wurden zudem die Persönlichkeitsmerkmale der „Big Five“ herangezogen. Mit Hilfe einer standardisierten Online-Befragung, wurden 214 Männer unterschiedlicher sexueller Orientierungen hinsichtlich ihrer motivationalen Nutzung des Online-Datings befragt. Die zentralen Ergebnissen dieser Befragung lassen sich wie folgt zusammenfassen: 1.) Heterosexuelle Männern und MSM nutzen das Online-Dating überwiegend aus ähnlichen Motivationen, unterscheiden sich jedoch bei einzelnen Bedürfnissen in der Stärke der Ausprägung. 2.) Die Persönlichkeit hat einen Einfluss darauf, welche Bedürfnisse Männer haben, wenn sie Online-Dating nutzen. 3.) Dating-Plattformen bzw. Plattform-Kategorien werden gezielt ausgewählt, um explizite Bedürfnisse zu befriedigen.
New localization mechanism and Hodge duality for $q-$form field

description: In this paper, we investigate the problem of localization and the Hodge duality for a $q-$form field on a $p-$brane with codimension one. By a general Kaluza-Klein (KK) decomposition without gauge fixing, we obtain two Schrödinger-like equations for two types of KK modes of the bulk $q-$form field, which determine the localization and mass spectra of these KK modes. It is found that there are two types of zero modes (the $0-$level modes): a $q-$form zero mode and a $(q-1)-$form one, which cannot be localized on the brane at the same time. For the $n-$level KK modes, there are two interacting KK modes, a massive $q-$form KK mode and a massless $(q-1)-$form one. By analyzing gauge invariance of the effective action and choosing a gauge condition, the $n-$level massive $q-$form KK mode decouples from the $n-$level massless $(q-1)-$form one. It is also found that the Hodge duality in the bulk naturally becomes two dualities on the brane. The first one is the Hodge duality between a $q-$form zero mode and a $(p-q-1)-$form one, or between a $(q-1)-$form zero mode and a $(p-q)-$form one. The second duality is between two group KK modes: one is an $n-$level massive $q-$form KK mode with mass $m_n$ and an $n-$level massless $(q-1)-$form mode; another is an $n-$level $(p-q)-$form one with the same mass $m_n$ and an $n-$level massless $(p-q-1)-$form mode. Because of the dualities, the effective field theories on the brane for the KK modes of the two dual bulk form fields are physically equivalent.

description: A series of substituted 1-indole-2-carboxamides structurally related to compounds Org27569 (), Org29647 () and Org27759 () were synthesized and evaluated for CB1 allosteric modulating activity in calcium mobilization assays. Structure–activity relationship studies showed that the modulation potency of this series at the CB1 receptor was enhanced by the presence of a diethylamino group at the 4-position of the phenyl ring, a chloro or fluoro group at the C5 position and short alkyl groups at the C3 position on the indole ring. The most potent compound () had an IC value of 79 nM which is ∼2.5 and 10 fold more potent than the parent compounds and , respectively. These compounds appeared to be negative allosteric modulators at the CB1 receptor and dose-dependently reduced the of agonist CP55,940. These analogs may provide the basis for further optimization and use of CB1 allosteric modulators.

description: In this paper, starting from the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Yvon equations of the liquid-state theory, we formulate two equivalent approaches for the calculation of the total density profile and of the charge density profile of ionic fluids near nonplanar charged surfaces. In the framework of these approaches, we establish exact conditions, that a particular point of these profiles should satisfy, in the form of contact theorems. These contact theorems for the total density profile and the charge density profile are obtained by direct integration of a system of equations derived from the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Yvon equations. The contact theorems for both profiles have nonlocal character. It is shown that the contact value of the total density profile for uncharged surfaces is characterized by the bulk pressure and the surface tension. The contact theorems are applied to the cases of spherical and cylindrical surfaces. It is shown that the contact theorem for the total density profile coincides with the recent results obtained by W. Silvester-Alcantara, D. Henderson and L.B. Bhuiyan Mol. Phys., 113, 3403, 2015

A classification of low-order conservation laws, peaked travelling wave solutions, and Lie symmetries is presented for this family. These classifications pick out a 1-parameter equation that has several interesting features: it reduces to the Camassa-Holm and Novikov equations when the polynomial has degree two and three; it has a conserved $H^1$ norm and it possesses $N$-peakon solutions, when the polynomial has any degree; and it exhibits wave-breaking for certain solutions describing collisions between peakons and anti-peakons in the case $N=2$.

Effects of the dipolar form of phloretin on potassium conductance in squid giant axons

description: The effects of phloretin on membrane ionic conductances have been studied in the giant axon of the squid, Loligo pealei. Phloretin reversibly suppresses the potassium and sodium conductances and modifies their dependence on membrane potential (Em). Its effects on the potassium conductance (GK) are much greater than on the sodium conductance; no effects on sodium inactivation are observed. Internal perfusion of phloretin produces both greater shifts in GK(Em) and greater reductions maximum GK than does external perfusion; the effect of simultaneous internal and external perfusion is little greater than that of internal perfusion alone. Lowering the internal pH, which favors the presence of the neutral species of weakly acidic phloretin (pKa 7.4), potentiates the actions of internally perfused phloretin. Other organic cations with dipole moments similar to phloretin's have little effect on either potassium or sodium conductances in squid axons. These results can be explained by either of two mechanisms; on postulates a phloretin "receptor" near the voltage sensor component of the potassium channel which is accessible to drug molecules applied at either the outer or inner membrane surface and is much more sensitive to the neutral than the negatively charged form of the drug. The other mechanism proposes that neutral phloretin molecules are dispersed in an ordered array in the membrane interior, producing a diffuse dipole field which modifies potassium channel gating. Different experimental results support these two mechanisms, and neither hypothesis can be disproven.

description: Optimal management of osteoarthritis (OA) requires a combination of therapies, with behavioral (e.g., exercise and weight management) and rehabilitative components at the core, accompanied by pharmacological treatments and, in later stages, consideration of joint replacement surgery. Although multiple sets of OA treatment guidelines have been developed, there are gaps in the implementation of these recommendations. Key areas of concern include the underuse of exercise, weight management, and other behavioral and rehabilitation strategies as well as the overuse of opioid analgesics. In this review, we describe the major categories of treatment strategies for OA, including self-management, physical activity, weight management, physical therapy and other rehabilitative therapies, pharmacotherapies, and joint replacement surgery. For each category, we discuss the current evidence base to report on appropriate use, data regarding adherence to treatment recommendations, and potential approaches to optimize use. © 2018

description: Intensities of x-ray scattering from a series of fragmented rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) samples have been measured over the range x = 0.05 to s = 0.25. By varying the relative concentrations of lipid and protein (chiefly the Mg++-dependent, Ca++- stimulated ATPase) in the membranes of this series, and by employing methods of analysis appropriate to the scattering from binary liquid mixtures, we have identified the separable contributions of protein and lipid, and the protein-lipid interaction contributions to the total scattering profiles. The shape of the protein term is consistent with scattering from a cylindrical ATPase particle 142 A in length and 35 A in diameter. These data imply that the dominant ATPase species is monomeric. The protein-lipid interaction term has been analyzed by a novel treatment based on a determination of the pair correlation function between the electrons of the protein molecule with the electrons of the lipid bilayer in terms of the asymmetry of the transbilayer disposition of the protein. Applied to our results, the analysis indicates a fully asymmetric disposition of ATPase, in which one end of the molecule is contiguous with either the lumenal or cytoplasmic surface of the bilayer.

description: We expand the symmetry of the open finite-size SO(N) symmetric spin chain to O(N). We partition its space of states into the eigenspaces of the parity transformations in the flavor space, generating the subgroup $Z_2^{\times(N-1)}$. It is proven that the lowest-energy states in these eigenspaces are nondegenerate and assemble in antisymmetric tensors or pseudotensors. At the valence-bond solid point, they constitute the $2^{N-1}$-fold degenerate ground state with fully broken parity-transformation symmetry.

description: In this paper we study the polarized vacuum energy on the conducting surface of a topological insulator characterized by both $Z_2$ topological index and time reversal symmetry. This boundary is subject to the action of a static and spatially homogeneous magnetic field perpendicular to it as well as of an electric field that is uniform near the considered surface and produced by a biased voltage, at zero temperature. To do this, we consider modifications in the Gauss law that arise due to the nonzero gradient of the axionlike pseudoscalar factor coupled to the applied magnetic field, which accounts for the topological properties of the system. Such a term allows us to find a correction to the induced charges which modifies the quantum vacuum of the spinor field regarding an ordinary surface. The polarized vacuum energy is calculated in both the weak-field approximation and in the general case, and since the found energy depends on a length defined on the boundary, we show that there is a radial density of force or a surface shear stress that tends to shrink it.

description: Context: Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a specific phenotype of osteoarthritis (OA) that commonly develops after acute knee injury, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or meniscal injury (or both). Athletic trainers (ATs) are well positioned to educate patients and begin PTOA management during rehabilitation of the acute injury, yet it remains unknown if ATs currently prioritize long-term outcomes in patients with knee injury. Objective: To investigate ATs' knowledge and perceptions of OA and its treatment after ACL injury, ACL reconstruction, or meniscal injury or surgery. Design: Cross-sectional study. Patients or Other Participants: An online survey was administered to 2000 randomly sampled certified ATs. We assessed participants' perceptions of knee OA, the risk of PTOA after ACL or meniscal injury or surgery, and therapeutic management of knee OA. Results: Of the 437 ATs who responded (21.9%), the majority (84.7%) correctly identified the definition of OA, and 60.3% indicated that they were aware of PTOA. A high percentage of ATs selected full meniscectomy (98.9%), meniscal tear (95.4%), ACL injury (90.2%), and partial meniscectomy (90.1%) as injuries that would increase the risk of developing OA. Athletic trainers rated undertaking strategies to prevent OA development in patients after ACL injury or reconstruction (73.8%) or meniscal injury or surgery (74.7%) as extremely or somewhat important. Explaining the risk of OA to patients with an ACL or meniscal injury was considered appropriate by 98.8% and 96.8% of respondents, respectively; yet a lower percentage reported that they actually explained these risks to patients after an ACL (70.8%) or meniscal injury (80.6%). Conclusions: Although 84.7% of ATs correctly identified the definition of OA, a lower percentage (60.3%) indicated awareness of PTOA. These results may reflect the need to guide ATs on how to educate patients regarding the long-term risks of ACL and meniscal injuries and how to implement strategies that may prevent PTOA.

description: This article reviews the use of DeConcini-Procesi wonderful models in renormalization of ultraviolet divergences in position space as introduced by Bergbauer, Brunetti and Kreimer. In contrast to the exposition there we employ a slightly different approach; instead of the subspaces in the arrangement of divergent loci, we use the poset of divergent subgraphs as the main tool to describe the whole renormalization process. This is based on an article by Feichtner, where wonderful models were studied from a purely combinatorial viewpoint. The main motivation for this approach is the fact that both, renormalization and the model construction, are governed by the combinatorics of this poset. Not only simplifies this the exposition considerably, but also allows to study the renormalization operators in more detail. Moreover, we explore the renormalization group in this setting by studying how the renormalized distributions behave under a change of renormalization points.

description: Injuries occur frequently among ballet and contemporary dancers. However, limited literature exists on injuries to pre-professional dancers in the USA. The goals of this study were to 1. provide a descriptive epidemiology of the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in an adolescent and young adult dance population and 2. identify parsimonious regression models that could be potentially used to predict injury incidence. The study was based at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) from Fall 2009 to Spring 2015. An injury was defined as any event that caused a dancer to be seen at the UNCSA Student Health Services and caused the dancer to modify or curtail dance activity for at least 1 day. Injury rate ratios (IRRs) were calculated using negative binomial generalized estimating equations. Models predicting injury rates were built using forward selection, stratified by sex. Among 480 dancers, 1,014 injuries were sustained. Most injuries were to the lower extremity and the result of overuse. There were differences in upper extremity, lower extremity, and traumatic injury rates by demographic subgroups. Among females, the most parsimonious predictive model for injury rates included a self-reported history of depression, age at time of injury, and number of injuries sustained at UNCSA prior to the semester of current injury. Among males, the most parsimonious model was a univariate model with family history of alcohol or drug problems. Strategies for traumatic injury prevention among dancers should be both sex- and style-specific. No differences were observed in overuse injury rates by sex or style, suggesting that generic overuse prevention strategies may not need to be guided by these factors. It is concluded that strategies can be implemented to reduce and mitigate the consequences of injuries if not the injuries themselves.

description: Objective: To examine the frequency of and factors associated with fear of movement (FOM) among patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA), using the new Brief Fear of Movement (BFOM) measure. Methods: Participants (n = 350) enrolled in a clinical trial completed the BFOM scale prior to randomization. The relationships of BFOM with the following characteristics were examined: age, sex, race, education, pain and activities of daily living (ADL) subscales of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), knee symptom duration, depressive symptoms (8-item Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-8]), history of falls and knee injury, family history of knee problems, self-efficacy for exercise (SEE), and unilateral balance test. A proportional odds logistic regression model examined multivariable associations of participant characteristics with a 3-level BFOM variable (agreement with 0, 1–2, or ≥3 items). Results: The majority of participants (77%) agreed with at least 1 item on the BFOM scale, and 36% endorsed 3+ items, suggesting a high degree of FOM. In the multivariable model, the following remained significant after backward selection: age (odds ratio [OR] 0.79 per 10-point increase, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.66–0.95), KOOS ADL (OR 0.86 per 10-point increase, 95% CI 0.76–0.97), PHQ-8 (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.08–1.22), and SEE (OR 0.87 per 10-point increase, 95% CI 0.78–0.96). Conclusion: FOM was common among patients with symptomatic KOA, and this could negatively impact physical activity. Psychological variables were significantly associated with FOM, suggesting behavioral and psychological interventions may decrease FOM and improve outcomes among individuals with symptomatic KOA.
