Elevated plasma levels of TIMP-3 are associated with a higher risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome and death following severe isolated traumatic brain injury. [PDF]
, 2018 BackgroundComplications after injury, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and associated with poor clinical outcomes.

Novel anti-tumour necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1) domain antibody prevents pulmonary inflammation in experimental acute lung injury. [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a pleiotropic cytokine with both injurious and protective functions, which are thought to diverge at the level of its two cell surface receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2.

A phase 2 trial of hydroxychloroquine in individuals at risk for rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Background Individuals with serum elevations of anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibodies are at increased risk for future rheumatoid arthritis (RA). No pharmacologic interventions have been approved for the prevention of RA in such ‘at‐risk’ individuals. However, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is used without supporting clinical trial evidence.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Background Using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) dose of 5 mg/kg/day in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with a higher risk of flares; HCQ blood level monitoring could be a better way to adjust HCQ dose. We studied the upper threshold for a reference range of HCQ levels to inform routine monitoring.

Vitamin D deficiency contributes directly to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [PDF]
, 2015 Rationale: Vitamin D deficiency has been implicated as a pathogenic factor in sepsis and intensive therapy unit mortality but has not been assessed as a risk factor for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Causality of these associations has never

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objective Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a thrombo‐inflammatory disorder characterized by clinical and mechanistic heterogeneity that complicates early diagnosis and hinders targeted treatment. We aimed to identify distinct molecular endotypes among antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)‐positive patients using whole‐blood transcriptomics.

Predictive Criteria to Study the Pathogenesis of Malaria-Associated ALI/ARDS in Mice [PDF]
, 2014 Malaria-associated acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) often results in morbidity and mortality. Murine models to study malaria-associated ALI/ARDS have been described; we still lack a method of distinguishing which mice will

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Background The treatment landscape for systemic sclerosis‐associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) has evolved with increasing immunosuppressive (IST) and anti‐fibrotic therapies available. However, their real‐world use remains unclear. Objectives To analyze treatment trends and the effect of IST and anti‐fibrotic therapies on ILD progression ...
