Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) significantly impacts employment capacity. This study aimed to investigate the impact of burden of disease activity, damage, and treatment on employment outcomes and transitions in patients with SLE. Methods Using data from a single center, we analyzed employment transitions, adjusted mean disease activity ...

SOFTWARE FOR SYNTHESIS OF COMPLIANT MECHANISMS WITHOUT INTERSECTING ELEMENTS
Facta Universitatis. Series: Mechanical Engineering, 2014 A compliant mechanism is defined as a single piece structure that transfer motion or force through elastic deformation. The synthesis of this kind of mechanisms represents a challenging task, especially because their flexible segments usually must ...

Modeling Behaviors for a New Compliant Mechanism by Recursive Hierarchy of Random Forest Models
IEEE AccessCompliant mechanisms have been widely employed for precision engineering. Due to a kinematic coupling between rigid kinematics and flexible kinematics of compliant mechanisms, modeling behavior of two degrees of freedom (2-DOF) compliant mechanism is a ...

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.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objective For cartilage morphology to serve as a scalable endpoint in clinical trials, analyses should be performed automatically without human interaction. To clinically validate artificial intelligence (AI)‐based analysis, we studied cartilage loss from MRI prior to knee replacement.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective This study investigated the association between frailty and cancer incidence and mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It aimed to identify how frailty influences cancer risk and cancer‐specific outcomes. Methods This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the Veterans’ Affairs Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry (2002–2023).

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Our objective was to describe the social networks of Black individuals with rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions and understand the clustering of health‐related behaviors to inform future community‐based, peer‐led interventions. Methods We used an adapted Personal Network Survey for Clinical Research (PERSNET) to map the personal social ...

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 ...
