From Adult to Adolescent: Alignment in Clinical Trials and Outcomes in Axial Spondyloarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing axial and peripheral forms, with up to 20% of patients developing symptoms before age 16. Despite this substantial pediatric burden, treatment options for juvenile‐onset SpA (JSpA), particularly those with axial disease (axJSpA), remain limited.

The Development of Rheumatoid Arthritis–Specific Ambulatory Care–Sensitive Conditions: Results of a Consensus Process

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Ambulatory care–sensitive conditions (ACSCs) serve as indicators of access, quality, and performance of the health system. This study aimed to determine rheumatoid arthritis (RA)‐specific ACSCs for use in the evaluation of care system access and quality.

Better approximation guarantees for job-shop scheduling [PDF]

Job-shop scheduling is a classical NP-hard problem. Shmoys, Stein and Wein presented the first polynomial-time approximation algorithm for this problem that has a good (polylogarithmic) approximation guarantee.

Automated Hand Flexor Tendon–Thickness Measurement in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) can affect flexor tendons, contributing to hand function problems and reduced quality of life. Tendon changes are currently assessed with ultrasonography and measured manually, a time‐consuming process prone to interobserver variability.

Characterization of Defect Distribution in an Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg as a Function of Processing Parameters and Correlations with Extreme Value Statistics

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...

An Improved Palmer-Based Heuristic for Two-Stage Flexible Flow Shop with Group Constraint

, 2011
Based on a background to the mould job shop, this paper considers a two-stage flexible flow shop scheduling problem subject to release dates, where the first stage is made up of unrelated machines and tasks have group constraint. The objective is to find
