Serum uric acid levels in older adults: Associations with clinical outcomes and implications for reference intervals in those aged 70 years and over

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Reports have linked both high and low serum uric acid (SUA) levels to adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to establish a reference interval for SUA in older adults and assessed its association with clinically relevant outcomes in relatively healthy, community‐dwelling individuals aged 70 and older.

Ultrasound compared to Computed Tomography in identifying thoracic aortic aneurysms in patients with Giant Cell Arteritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives The objectives of this study were to evaluate the correlation and agreement between ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) in measuring ascending aorta diameter in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) and to investigate the development of new ascending aortic aneurysms in patients with newly diagnosed GCA. Methods To achieve the primary

Testing A Personalized Approach to Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Older Veterans

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective We aimed to test the efficacy of personalized treatment of older Veterans with chronic low back pain (CLBP) delivered by Aging Back Clinics (ABC) as compared with usual care (UC). Methods Two hundred ninety‐nine Veterans age 65‐89 with CLBP from 3 VA medical centers underwent baseline testing, randomization to ABC or UC and 12 months follow ...

Generation of an iPSC cell line (VANYHHi001-A) from a patient with cardiac arrythmias carrying CACNA1D, SCN5A, and DSP variants

Stem Cell Research
Progressive cardiac conduction defect often associated with variants in sodium voltage-gated channel SCN5A gene and variants in the L-type calcium voltage-gated channel CACNA1D gene are implicated in sinoatrial node dysfunction.
