Rheumatoid Arthritis, Frailty, and Outcomes of Surgical Hospitalizations: A National Population‐Based Analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Hospitalization, particularly for surgery, represents a period of heightened stress. We evaluated how frailty attenuates the association of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with negative health outcomes after elective noncardiac surgery. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional study using the National Inpatient Sample (2018 to 2020), including adults

Screening for familial thoracic aortic aneurysms with aortic imaging does not detect all potential aarriers of the disease

, 2015
Background: About 20% of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (TAAD) have a first-degree relative with a similar disease. The familial form (FTAAD) of the disease is inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern.

Topically Delivered Treg‐Attracting Microparticle‐Hydrogel Composites Recruit Regulatory T Cells and Limit Cardiac Injury After Severe Ischemia

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
CCL22‐releasing PLGA microparticles (MP) suspended in topically applied hydrogels (HEART) establish a sustained chemokine gradient at the injured myocardium. HEART recruits CCR4+ regulatory T cells, reduces infarct size and graft fibrosis, and improves cardiac function.
