Optimizing Hydroxychloroquine Blood Levels and Long‐Term Hydroxychloroquine Intake Could Lower Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Prevent Polypharmacy in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is the cornerstone of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) management with benefits extending beyond SLE control, including protection against atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although HCQ blood levels reflect recent exposure and long‐term intake reflects medication adherence, the impact of longitudinal ...

Factors Associated With Fibromyalgia Diagnosis Among People Meeting Criteria: Results From UK Biobank

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The diagnosis of fibromyalgia (FM) is challenging due to the absence of definitive biomarkers, numerous overlapping comorbidities, and its reliance on patient‐reported symptoms. Discrepancies between diagnostic criteria and clinical practice imply the possibility of diagnostic biases, complicating timely and accurate identification.

Impact of bispectral index monitoring on dose requirement of dexmedetomidine during total parotidectomy under general anesthesia without muscle relaxants

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology
Background and Aims: For facial nerve monitoring during parotidectomy, neuromuscular blockers should be avoided. Assessment of depth of anesthesia based on clinical signs or end-tidal anesthetic gas concentration is unreliable. We compared intraoperative

Comparison of postoperative deep vein thrombosis incidence between regional anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care and general anesthesia alone in total knee arthroplasty patients

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with a risk of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT). While regional anesthesia is integral to multimodal analgesia protocols, its specific impact on DVT risk compared to general anesthesia remains

Individuals With Multijoint Osteoarthritis Demonstrate Larger Longitudinal Declines in Frailty: Data From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that multijoint osteoarthritis would modify the relation between time and frailty progression, in which more affected joints would lead to larger declines over six years compared to those without osteoarthritis using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
