Circulating Interleukin‐6 Levels and Timing of Acute Ischemic Stroke Onset

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intravenous thrombolysis is the most widely available effective ischemic stroke treatment, but is approved only if given within 4.5 h from stroke onset. Many patients are not treated because stroke onset time is unknown. We evaluated the cytokine interleukin 6 (IL‐6) in circulating blood after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Association of Higher Levels of High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein With Future Development of Psoriatic Arthritis in Psoriasis: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to assess whether high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP) levels could predict the development of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis. Methods We analyzed data from a prospective cohort of patients with psoriasis without PsA at enrollment.
