Peripheral Biomarker Signatures in Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with RA, yet effective risk stratification for RA‐ILD is lacking. We sought to characterize unique peripheral blood biomarker signatures in RA that could improve RA‐ILD discrimination beyond clinical and genetic ...

Recognition of Glycine Versus Nonglycine Citrulline Motifs Dictating the HLA Class II Association of Anticitrullinated Protein Antibodies: Insights From Autoantibody Profiling of 6,900 Scandinavian Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)–associated anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) target various antigens by binding short citrulline amino acid motifs, resulting in heterogeneous ACPA profiles among patients. Here we analyzed ACPA patterns by recognized citrulline motifs in relation to the RA risk factors HLA‐DRB1 shared epitope (SE) alleles

Anaemia and cigarette smoking [PDF]

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, 2008
SummaryCigarette smoking causes numerous diseases that are associated with anaemia but the resulting low haemoglobin levels may be counterbalanced by increased red blood cell production caused by chronic exposure to carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke.

Establishing a 3D Vascularized Tri‐Culture Model of the Human Airways via a Digital Light Processing Bioprinter

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise in chronic lung diseases globally and the corresponding lag in drug discovery in this field highlights the need for In Vitro models closely mimicking In Vivo lung tissue. Efforts to date have largely focused on In Vitro coculture models, often neglecting the pulmonary vasculature's role in lung physiology and lacking perfusability. To

From Waste to Watts: Cigarette Filter Waste to Carbon Nanomaterial‐Based Supercapacitors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications

Battery Energy, EarlyView.
We present an economically viable approach for synthesizing carbon nanomaterials derived from discarded cigarette filters, an abundant environmental pollutant. The resulting material exhibits desirable characteristics, including a well‐defined stacking structure, high porosity, and a substantial specific surface area, making it suitable as an active ...

Effect of Knowledge, Peer Group, Family, Cigarette Price, Stipend, Access to Cigarette, and Attitude, on Smoking Behavior [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Passive smokers inhale 75% of ambient smoke and 50% of exhaled smoke. A cigarette contains 4.000 poisonous chemical agents, at least 69 of which are carcinogenic. Therefore ambient tobacco smoke is detrimental to health.

Periodontitis presenting among betel quid users: A case series

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Betel leaf chewing habit has been studied extensively, as it has been an ancient practice in many Asian countries. Although betel leaf has been reported to have potential beneficial properties, it has also been shown to have a strong association with oral diseases, including periodontitis. This case series addresses the presentation
