Individuals With Multijoint Osteoarthritis Demonstrate Larger Longitudinal Declines in Frailty: Data From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that multijoint osteoarthritis would modify the relation between time and frailty progression, in which more affected joints would lead to larger declines over six years compared to those without osteoarthritis using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

Bioinspired Adaptive Artificial Cilia With Tunable Sensitivity and Dynamic Range for Airflow Monitoring in the Central Airway

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A magnetically reconfigurable airflow sensor integrated with an airway stent enables tunable sensitivity and dynamic sensing range. Airflow‐induced cantilever deformation generates resistance changes, while an external magnetic field modulates sensor stiffness, enhancing sensitivity at low airflow velocities and extending the sensing range at higher ...

Plasma Proteome Reflects Tissue Damage and Clinical Manifestations in Patients With Inflammatory Myopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Tissue‐specific biomarkers that are reliable and associated with clinical manifestations of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) are lacking. The blood circulation in individuals serves as a central conduit, allowing communication between tissues and facilitating clearance and recycling of tissue‐derived proteins.

Study protocol of an international patient-led registry in patients with pulmonary fibrosis using online home monitoring: I-FILE

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is caused by a heterogeneous group of diseases, with a high inter-individual variability in disease trajectory. Identifying disease progression in patients with PF has impact on clinical management decisions.

What Can Providers' Motivations Tell Us About Healthcare Quality?

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agency theory suggests that variation in providers' quality of care may be explained by their heterogeneous motivations. We provide novel empirical evidence on the links between different sources of provider motivation and quality of care by combining a unique 4‐year survey dataset on Danish general practitioners' motivations with quality ...

Comparing Approaches to Teaching Patients How to Use an App-Based Home Spirometer: Randomized Controlled Trial

JMIR Formative Research
BackgroundBluetooth-enabled, app-based home spirometry has been validated for use in the diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory disease. Remote teaching (virtual or self-directed) of patients on how to use an app-based home spirometry offers the ...

Reference Equations for Peak Nasal Inspiratory and Expiratory Flow: A Cross‐Sectional Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study developed reference equations for peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) and peak nasal expiratory flow (PNEF) in clinically healthy adults using sex, height, and weight. PNIF demonstrated lower residual variability and more stable model performance than PNEF, supporting its potential as a complementary tool for individualized interpretation of ...

A Pervasive Pulmonary Function Estimation System with Six-Minute Walking Test

Biosensors, 2022
Self-monitoring for spirometry is beneficial to assess the progression of lung disease and the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation. However, home spirometry fails to meet both accuracy and repeatability criteria in a satisfactory manner.

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.

Decreased handgrip strength can predict lung function impairment in male workers: a cross sectional study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background Spirometry is useful for evaluating respiratory health status and predicting health-related outcomes. As spirometry requires skilled technician and takes time, it is useful to find simple way for predicting lung function impairment. The aim of
