Landslides in a changing climate

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2016
Warming of the Earth climate system is unequivocal. That climate changes affect the stability of natural and engineered slopes and have consequences on landslides, is also undisputable. Less clear is the type, extent, magnitude and direction of the changes in the stability conditions, and on the location, abundance, activity and frequency of landslides

The MSA Atrophy Index (MSA‐AI): An Imaging Marker for Diagnosis and Clinical Progression in Multiple System Atrophy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Reliable biomarkers are essential for tracking disease progression and advancing treatments for multiple system atrophy (MSA). In this study, we propose the MSA Atrophy Index (MSA‐AI), a novel composite volumetric measure to distinguish MSA from related disorders and monitor disease progression. Methods Seventeen participants with an

Longitudinal Relationship Between Pain and Depression in People With Inflammatory Arthritis: A Narrative Review

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

Real‐World Cost‐Effectiveness of a Standardized Education and Exercise Therapy Program for Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis Compared to Usual Care

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We estimated the real‐world cost‐effectiveness of a standardized education and exercise therapy program (GLA:D) compared to usual care (UC) for people managing hip and/or knee osteoarthritis (HKOA). Methods We used a prospective matched cohort design to recruit people (aged >45 years) diagnosed with HKOA who used GLA:D or UC (not on a ...

Lived and care experiences of chronic musculoskeletal shoulder pain in Australian adults: A qualitative study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Australian evidence on lived and care experiences of chronic musculoskeletal shoulder pain (CMSP), irrespective of disorder classification or disease, is limited. However, such evidence is important for person‐centred care and informing local service pathways and care guidelines or standards.

Improvements in Health‐Related Quality of Life with Treat‐to‐Target Urate‐Lowering Therapy in Gout: A Post‐hoc Analysis of a Randomized Multicenter Trial

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background While treat‐to‐target urate‐lowering therapy (ULT) is endorsed as best practice in gout management, limited data exist on its impact on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). We assessed the impact of treat‐to‐target ULT on HRQoL among participants receiving protocolized gout care, identifying factors associated with HRQoL and HRQoL change.

Considerations for Issues of Regression to the Mean and Contextual Effects in Clinical Trials for Pain in Rheumatic Diseases

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Recently, there has been growing discussion about how to best assess pain in clinical trials in rheumatic diseases. Reliable measurement of pain outcomes is essential for accurately determining the effectiveness of treatments. While pain intensity is the most common measure of change in pain trials, other pain‐related measures, such as pain ...

Using a Supramolecular Approach to Engineer Modular Hydrogel Platforms for Culturing Protoplasts – from General Tissue Engineering to Cellular Agriculture

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular
