What makes Asian eyes look different?" by Benson Chen: AsianEyeMD
What makes Asian eyes look different?
The Asian periocular anatomy is very different from that of a Caucasian or African American on many levels. Firstly, the shape of the orbital bones makes a tremendous impact on the 3D shape and angle of the eyelids. In an Asian, the lateral orbital rim, or the rim of bone that can be felt at the outer corner of the eye, sits on average 3mm more anterior than in Caucasians, and 5mm more anterior than in African Americans (Migliori and Gladstone 1984, Tsai et al 2006). This difference in the skull shape significantly affects the angular corners of Asian eyelids, as explains the more rounded outer corners in Caucasians and African Americans.
Secondly, the fibrous strip of tissue that defines the upper and lower lid margins, called the tarsus, is significantly narrower in the Asian patient (6-8mm) compared to Caucasians and African Americans (10-12mm). The upper edge of tarsus is where fine filamentous attachments link the eyelid skin to the eyelid, and corresponds to the height of the lid crease. It is these attachments that can be weak in Asians who do not have a visible lid crease, often called a "single eyelid" configuration.
Another difference is the additional layer of fatty tissue in the Asian eyelid that is not found in either Caucasians or African Americans. This extra layer of fat helps to separate the eyelid skin from the muscle and tarsus, which is typically firmly attached in Non-Asians. By increasing the thickness of Asian eyelids, this layer may also prevent a lid crease from forming at the upper border of tarsus.

How can you differentiate pyogenic arthritis from Oestoarthritis?
The term "suppurative arthritis" is a near synonym for septic arthritis. ("Suppurative" refers to the production of pus, without necessarily implying sepsis.)
ICD-10 uses the term "pyogenic arthritis". Pyogenic also refers to the production of pus.
Reactive arthritis refers to arthritis caused by an immune consequence of an infection, but not directly attributable to the infection itself.
The usual etiology of septic arthritis is bacterial, but viral, mycobacterial, and fungal arthritis occur occasionally. A broader term is "infectious arthritis", which describes arthritis caused by any infectious organism. Viruses can cause arthritis, but it can be hard to determine if the arthritis is directly due to the virus or if the arthritis is reactive.
Septic/suppurative arthritis and "bacterial arthritis" are sometimes considered equivalent, but there are exceptions. For example, Borrelia burgdorferi can cause infectious arthritis, but is not associated with suppurative arthritis. (Source wikipedia)
Osteoarthritis does not involve the production of puss at the site of the effected joint or joints.
Is osteophyte complex related to arthritis?
Yes it is. Anosteophyte complex occurs between two adjacent vertebra when they touch. Asa result they star to wear and the and the bone in an attempt to repair the damage begins to create more bone .

Can arthritis result from Pegasus Interferon treatment for Hepatitis C?
actually, arthritis is listed as one of the side effects of the medication. See www.pegasys.com Important Safety Information.
For the last poster to just shrug off the question with a vague response is not helpful at all and why it was even posted is beyond me.
Jeff says: I believe it is a far more frequent side effect than Roche would have you believe. Worse, if your Hep C is not cured by the interferon, it is dangerous to take the "biologics" that the rheumatologists (sp?) like to prescribe - they suppress your immune system.
I took interferon from 6/08 - 12/08. It was and has been one awful nightmare since. Neither I (nor my doctor apparently) had any idea how bad it could get. I now have psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, nail dystrophy (just gross and humiliating rotting of the nails), and am slowly getting crippled. It is 12/10. I don't know what I am going to do or how I am going to survive. I was strong. Now I am crippled and my life has been robbed from me. Interferon is very, very dangerous.

Unless you have a food allergy, a food won't create inflammation. However, some foods can be nominally pro-inflammatory, in that they increase the reactivity of the body overall and can enhance the inflammatory process when started by something else.

In contrast, other foods tend to "dampen" the inflammatory response. These foods include fish (omega-3 oils) and fiber.
