Association of Elevated Platelets and C‐Reactive Protein With Severe Disease and Poor Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been linked with severe disease and worse survival, but the role of platelet levels remains unclear. This study examined whether elevated platelet levels, CRP levels, or both are associated with disease severity, progression, and survival in SSc.

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.

Individuals With Multijoint Osteoarthritis Demonstrate Larger Longitudinal Declines in Frailty: Data From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that multijoint osteoarthritis would modify the relation between time and frailty progression, in which more affected joints would lead to larger declines over six years compared to those without osteoarthritis using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

Clinical Characteristics and Concordance of Anti‐MDA5 Antibodies: A Multicenter Australian Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective In Australia, anti‐MDA5 antibodies are exclusively tested by a line immunoblot assay (LIA). The clinical concordance of an LIA‐positive anti‐MDA5 result is unclear. We aimed to describe the clinical features and determine the clinical concordance of patients with anti‐MDA5 antibodies. Methods Electronic records of a multisite cohort (patients
