Dysregulated Cholesterol Metabolism, Chronic Inflammation, and Disability in Severe Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysregulated lipid metabolism, which can affect remyelination and neural repair, has not been extensively investigated in progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS). The goal was to examine whether dysregulated cholesterol metabolism was associated with disability in PMS. Methods The study sample comprised 53 Severe PMS patients (Expanded

A Two‐Stage Plasma Biomarker Algorithm Reduces Amyloid PET Use and the p‐Tau217 Gray Zone

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐Tau217 leaves 30%–50% of patients in an indeterminate “gray zone” often requiring Aβ‐PET. We developed GRAD (Gatekeeper‐Reflex for Alzheimer's Disease), a two‐stage Aβ‐positivity prediction model to improve classification while reserving Aβ‐PET for residual uncertainty.

Serostatus‐Specific Prognostic Profiles and Phenotype‐Dependent Therapeutic Windows in Autoimmune Encephalitis: A Multicenter Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While autoimmune encephalitis (AE) outcomes vary, serostatus‐specific prognostic determinants and institutional clustering effects remain poorly characterized. We aimed to delineate the distinct prognostic architecture of AE, identifying serostatus‐specific risk factors and potential therapeutic windows.

Anorectal Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Phenotypes and Functional Patterns

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize specific physiologic defects in anorectal dysfunction in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using anorectal manometry (ARM), evaluate associations with gastrointestinal (GI) and extraintestinal clinical phenotypes, and explore potential serologic markers for risk stratification.

Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

Generative Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice: How Should Rheumatologists Evaluate and Monitor Emerging Tools?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in rheumatology practice, to assist with tasks such as documentation, record summarization, and clinical decision support. Rheumatologists need a practical approach to determining what evidence and oversight each application requires.

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Extraction of Patient‐Reported Pain Outcomes in Osteoarthritis Using Large Language Models

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) are central to assessing symptom burden and treatment response in Osteoarthritis (OA) but are often embedded in unstructured clinical notes. We evaluated whether prompt‐engineered large language models (LLMs) could accurately extract or infer pain scores on a 0‐10 scale from routine OA clinical ...

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...
