Inflammatory and Non-Inflammatory Synovial Fluids Exhibit New & Distinct Tribological Endotypes
No full textInferior synovial lubrication is a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA), and synovial fluid (SF) lubrication and composition are variable among OA patients. Hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplementation is a widely used therapy for improving SF viscoelasticity and lubrication, but it is unclear how the effectiveness of HA viscosupplements varies with arthritic endotype. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the HA viscosupplement, Hymovis®, on the lubricating properties of diseased SF from patients with non-inflammatory OA and inflammatory arthritis (IA). The composition (cytokine, HA, and lubricin concentrations) of the SF was measured as well as the mechanical properties (rheology, tribology) of the SF alone and in a 1:1 mixture with the HA viscosupplement. Using rotational rheometry, no difference in SF viscosity was detected between disease types, and the addition of HA significantly increased all fluids' viscosities. In non-inflammatory OA SF, friction coefficients followed a typical Stribeck pattern and their magnitude was decreased by the addition of HA. While some of the IA SF also showed typical Stribeck behavior, a subset showed more erratic behavior with highly variable and larger friction coefficients. Interestingly, this aberrant behavior was not eliminated by the addition of HA, and it was associated with low concentrations of lubricin. Aberrant SF exhibited significantly lower effective viscosities compared to non-inflammatory OA and IA SF with typical tribological behavior. Collectively, these results suggest that different endotypes of arthritis exist with respect to lubrication, which may impact the effectiveness of HA viscosupplements in reducing friction
Keeping a feminist curiosity in critical military studies: In conversation with Cynthia Enloe
No full textThis conversation between Cynthia Enloe and Daniel Conway began in November 2022 for The World Today magazine and was continued and expanded in July 2024. Cynthia Enloe’s fifteen books include Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics (2nd ed, 2014); Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Women’s Lives (2000) and Globalization and Militarism: Feminists Make the Link (2nd ed, 2016). Her latest book, Twelve Feminist Lessons of War was published in 2023. Enloe has won numerous awards and is one of the honourees named on the Gender Justice Legacy Wall at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Daniel Conway is the author of Masculinities, Militarisation and the End Conscription Campaign: War Resistance in Apartheid South Africa (2012) and has recently published articles exploring grassroots women’s and LGBTQ+ organizing and Pride events in South Africa, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shanghai and Mumbai in the journals International Feminist Journal of Politics, Sexualities, International Affairs and Sociology. © 2025 The Author(s).

Distinct tribological endotypes of pathological human synovial fluid reveal characteristic biomarkers and variation in efficacy of viscosupplementation at reducing local strains in articular cartilage
No full textViscosupplementation has been used for decades to treat mild to moderate osteoarthritis, yet it is unknown if the lubricating function of different pathological synovial fluids (SF) vary, or if they respond differentially to viscosupplementation. The objectives of this study were to (i) evaluate the friction coefficients and induced shear strains in articular cartilage when lubricated with pathological SF, (ii) identify the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) supplementation on friction coefficients and shear strains, and (iii) identify SF biomarkers that correlate with lubricating function
