Antiaromaticity‐Driven Enhancement of Single‐Molecule Electrical Conductance by s‐Indacene Molecular Bridges

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Within the same molecular length scale, antiaromatic s‐indacene exhibits a marked increase in conductance compared to its aromatic benzodithiophene counterpart. Notably, the inherently small HOMO–LUMO gap of antiaromatic systems maintains a certain level of conductance even in the presence of cross‐conjugation.

Use of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies and rheumatoid factor in diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis in a tertiary care hospital

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease that affects 0.5–1% of the general population and is characterized by a chronic, debilitating, and destructive form of arthritis.

Insights to Clinical Use of Serial Determination in Titers of Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Autoantibodies

Mediators of Inflammation, 2007
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody is a useful marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recently, clinical significance of follow-up in anti-CCP antibody titer has been pointed out.

Synovial fluid anti-citrulline-containing peptide antibody and its role in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, 2017
Objective This study aimed to measure the level of anti-citrulline-containing peptide (anti-CCP) antibody (ab) in the synovial fluid (SF) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients to study its relations with anti-CCP ab serum level, RA disease activity, and

Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.

Clinical utility of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptid and rheumatoid factor in chronic hepatitis B virus infection

Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2018
Background: It is necessary to distinguish whether musculoskeletal symptoms are associated with rheumatic diseases or hepatitis virus infection. Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) may be detected in rheumatic diseases

Associations of Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity With Frailty Over Five Years of Follow‐up

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To evaluate whether rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity is associated with frailty both in cross‐section and longitudinally. Methods Participants within the Veterans Affairs Rheumatoid Arthritis (VARA) registry enrolled from 2003 to 2022 were included.

Factors related to seroconversion of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody after the onset of rheumatoid arthritis: a case-control study and systematic review

Immunological Medicine
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies typically present before rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but appear (seroconvert) after disease onset in some patients. This study analyzed factors related to anti-CCP seroconversion.
