Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogenous inflammatory condition with widely varying global prevalence estimates. The frequency of SLE in the general population of Australia has been reported to be notably lower than contemporary estimates in countries such as the United States or United Kingdom, at 19 to 39 per 100,000 as opposed ...

Fixed point theorems via Nash Equilibria [PDF]
In this note we show that the fixed points of a continuous function (or of an upper semi-continuous correspondence, with non-empty and convex values) can be attained as Nash Equilibria of a game with finitely many players.

A common fixed point for weak øcontractions on b-metric spaces
, 2012 In this paper, we give a common fixed point result for single-valued and multi-valued mappings satisfying a weak Øcontraction in b-metric spaces. Presented theorems extend, generalize and improve some existing results in the literature. Some examples are

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) are leading causes of physical disability, necessitating support with activities of daily living. This study describes social care received by patients with RMDs in two disparate regions of England: Salford (urban) and Norfolk (rural).

, 2018 In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized coupled fixed points and, as a consequence of Darbo’s fixed point theorem associated to an abstract measure of noncompactness, we present a result about the existence of this class of coupled fixed ...

High Health Care Utilization Preceding Diagnosis With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although early diagnosis improves long‐term outcomes, patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often experience prolonged, circuitous paths to diagnosis. To inform diagnostic improvement, we sought to characterize health care utilization in the year preceding diagnosis. Methods We identified 10,021 patients with an incident diagnosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a cornerstone therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the weight‐based dosing does not account for clinical factors that can introduce individual variability in drug metabolism and clearance. We leveraged longitudinal data from a prospective SLE cohort to identify clinical factors that predict ...
