2	Cytotron – power to regenerate tissues
3	Osteo-arthritis Knee Osteo-arthritis of the knee is the commonest knee joint disease. One out of eight people adults.
4	Osteoarthritis
5	Causes of Osteoarthritis All causes not known Age General wear and tear of joints. Joint injury – Single / Repeated Joint diseases - rheumatoid arthritis, Gout Genetics. Overweight Repeated joint stress - squatting, kneeling, or heavy lifting. Estrogen deficiency - Post-menopause women.
6	Tests for Osteoarthritis X-rays MRI / CT Dynamometry Genometry Blood tests to rule out other types of disease. Researchers - trying to develop a test to detect cartilage breakdown.
7	Treatments for Osteoarthritis Till now - no known cure Pain killer / Herbal medicines Hot or cold applications, Paraffin bath etc. Exercise Supportive measures - Weight loss, Rest, Nutrition, Assistive devices. Surgical treatments: * Arthroscopy - Pain relief - Fix the joint. * Osteotomy - Correct deformity * Arthodesis - Immobilize joint * Joint replacement
8	Till now - Surgery was the best treatment – But everyone wants to avoid surgery if possible.
9	How Cytotron Therapy works? Cytotron produces high power electromagnetic resonating beams Regenerates and Repairs Degenerated cartilage Relieves pain and disability of Knee > Thus saves many knees from knee replacement surgery.
10	Principal of Cytotron in Tissue Regeneration and Degeneration
11	Method of treatment Patient lies on Cytotron bed. Bed goes inside gantry. Rotational Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (RFQMR ) Beam is focused onto the knee
12	Duration of Treatment 30 to 60 minutes daily for 21 days
13	IMPORTANT Conclusion: If successful - 80 chance patient saved from surgery If failure – No harm (except financial) Joint replacement is still possible. Surgery is possible if Cytotron fails but Cytotron therapy is not possible if Surgery fails
14	How patient knows he is better Feels better: Almost all have decreased deformity Most have pain relief & can walk more Many can squat on the floor & climb stairs
15	"Tests better:" Tests better: X-rays / MRI shows growth in cartilage Dynamometry shows increased joint capacity Goneometry - Range of Motion, Extension, Flexion Better Joint Stability Improved Alignment Improve knee society scoring.

30	"Rotational field quantum magnetic resonance..." Rotational field quantum magnetic resonance (RFQMR) in treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee joint ………………… stimulates the chondrocytes ………………. There was highly significant improvement in Pain Score, Total Knee Score, Total Functional Score, Range of Movement and force of extension,
31	"Towards Tissue-Tuning" Towards Tissue-Tuning …………… almost all patients were able to walk for one to five km without pain, and 16 of the 36 could squat down on the floor which they could not do earlier.
