Distinct Systemic Sclerosis Phenotypes Related to Ethnicity: An Opportunity to Personalize Care?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective is to describe and compare demographic, clinical, and serological characteristics of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) according to ethnic background. Methods Participants enrolled in the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group cohort who self‐identified to a single ethnicity group were included.

Evaluation of the Antibacterial Activity of Quercus persica Jaub & Spach Fruit’s Hidroalcoholic Extract in Disc Diffusion Method

Journal of Medicinal Plants, 2010
Background: As a result of indiscriminate use of antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of infectious diseases, microorganisms have developed resisrtance to many antibiotics and there is a need to develop antimicrobial drugs.

Antibacterial efficacy of the cassava (Manihot esculenta C.) leaf and pirdot (Saurauia vulcani K.) leaf extract combination against Staphylococcus aureus

Journal of Advanced Pharmaceutical Technology & Research
Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacterium causing various infections. The irrational use of antibiotics can lead to resistance, prompting the exploration of alternative treatments, such as herbal plants like cassava and pirdot leaves.

Real‐World Safety and Effectiveness of JAK Inhibitors in Systemic Sclerosis: A Propensity‐Matched Study From the EUSTAR Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective JAK inhibitors (JAKi) have shown promising effects in early‐phase studies of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We aimed to assess the safety and explore the effectiveness of JAKi compared to conventional immunosuppressants in SSc. Methods A longitudinal retrospective study of the European Scleroderma Trials and Research Group (EUSTAR) cohort was ...

Anorectal Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Phenotypes and Functional Patterns

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize specific physiologic defects in anorectal dysfunction in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using anorectal manometry (ARM), evaluate associations with gastrointestinal (GI) and extraintestinal clinical phenotypes, and explore potential serologic markers for risk stratification.

Determinants of Body Mass Index in Early Systemic Sclerosis: Implications for Nutritional Risk Stratification

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement can lead to malnutrition in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Body mass index (BMI) remains the most widely used marker to screen nutritional status. We aimed to identify predictors of lower BMI in patients with SSc. Methods Patients with SSc from a prospective US cohort meeting 2013 American College of

Water diffusion in q-space imaging as a probe of cell local viscosity and anomalous diffusion in grey and white matter [PDF]

, 2010
Extraction of accurate quantitative parameters to characterize water diffusion in complex porous media like brain tissue in neuroimaging is a challenging inverse problem, that depends on medium\\u27\u27s structural and geometrical factors [1,3].

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.
