Serum Uric Acid Levels in Older Adults: Associations With Clinical Outcomes and Implications for Reference Intervals in Those Aged 70 Years and Over

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Reports have linked both high and low serum uric acid (SUA) levels to adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to establish a reference interval for SUA in older adults and assessed its association with clinically relevant outcomes in relatively healthy, community‐dwelling individuals aged ≥70 years old.

Excessive growth hormone expression in male GH transgenic mice adversely alters bone architecture and mechanical strength [PDF]

, 2015
Patients with acromegaly have a higher prevalence of vertebral fractures despite normal bone mineral density (BMD), suggesting that GH overexpression has adverse effects on skeletal architecture and strength. We used giant bovine GH (bGH) transgenic mice

Adipokines and Associations With Incident Osteoporotic Fracture in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We assessed whether circulating adipokines are associated with incident fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Three adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, and fibroblast growth factor [FGF]‐21) were measured using banked enrollment serum from participants in a longitudinal RA cohort.

Higher fracture prevalence and smaller bone size in patients with hEDS/HSD-a prospective cohort study

, 2020
Increased fracture risk in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes has been reported, but the reasons for it are incompletely understood. We aimed to investigate possible determinants of this increased risk and found that hEDS/HSD patients present with a ...

Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joint in Pediatric Patients

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Maturational signal in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) of skeletally immature youth is often misinterpreted as inflammation. Diagnostic tools that improve specificity are greatly needed. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), when used with standard imaging, may enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Influence of trabecular microstructure and cortical index on the complexity of proximal humeral fractures [PDF]

, 2018
Objectives: Poor bone quality increases the susceptibility to fractures of the proximal humerus. It is unclear whether local trabecular and cortical measures influence the severity of fracture patterns.

VEGF with AMD3100 Endogenously Mobilizes Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Improves Fracture Healing [PDF]

, 2018
A significant number of fractures develop non‐union. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy may be beneficial, however, this requires cell acquisition, culture and delivery. Endogenous mobilization of stem cells offers a non‐invasive alternative.
