A matter arising: When should inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases be considered ‘early’?

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
Timely recognition of inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases (IARDs) is important to optimize the early diagnosis with tailored interventions and possible prevention of irreversible organ damage. This narrative review provides an update by summarizing the advances in identifying the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis and ...

Multi‐omic analysis identifies biological processes underlying progressive interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease, and lung complications (ILD) are the main cause of death. This study compared SSc patients with and without lung disease to healthy volunteers. We found increased inflammation, specific proteins, and higher triglyceride levels linked to lung disease progression. These findings suggest triglycerides

Systemic neutrophil activation and N‐formyl methionine‐formyl peptide receptor‐1 signaling define inflammatory endotypes in rheumatoid arthritis‐associated lung involvement

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neutrophil activation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but its involvement in RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) remains unclear. This study investigated the involvement of N‐formyl methionine (fMET) and its receptor formyl peptide receptor‐1 (FPR1) in neutrophil‐mediated ...

Smoking in Systemic Sclerosis: a Longitudinal European Scleroderma Trials and Research Group Study [PDF]

, 2018
Data on the role of tobacco exposure in systemic sclerosis (SSc) severity and progression are scarce. We aimed to assess the effects of smoking on the evolution of pulmonary and skin manifestations in the EUSTAR ...

FVC/DLCO identifies pulmonary hypertension and predicts 5-year all-cause mortality in patients with COPD

European Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is unknown whether the ratio of forced vital capacity (FVC) to diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) can identify PH

Validating DSGE Models Through SVARs Under Imperfect Information

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the ability of SVARs to match impulse responses of a well‐established DSGE model where the information of agents can be imperfect. We derive conditions for the solution of a linearized NK‐DSGE model to be invertible given this information set. In the absence of invertibility, an approximate measure is constructed. An SVAR is estimated

The prognostic value of DLCO and pulmonary blood flow in patients with pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

Pulmonary Circulation, 2019
BackgroundCardiac output is a prognostic marker in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary blood flow as a surrogate for cardiac output can be measured non‐invasively by inert gas rebreathing. We hypothesized that pulmonary blood flow can predict outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension.MethodsFrom January 2009 to January 2012, we ...
