Enhancing Sensitivity across Scales with Highly Sensitive Hall Effect‐Based Auxetic Tactile Sensors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Herein, a tactile sensor based on hall‐effect sensors with an auxetic structure, called Hall effect‐based auxetic tactile sensor (HEATS), is proposed. The change in magnetism resulting from the deformation of the auxetic structure is utilized for sensing.

Sjögren Disease—B Cells at the Brink: From Autoimmunity to Lymphomagenesis and the Rise of Novel B Cell–Targeted Therapies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved disease‐modifying therapies for SjD. In this review, we

Use of digital artery perforator flaps for repairing soft tissue defects after fasciectomy for Dupuytren's contractures in the ring and little fingers: A case report

JPRAS Open, 2022
Fasciectomy is the standard treatment for Dupuytren's contracture, but, in many cases, skin defects may occur after fasciectomy. If the preoperative contracture is severe, the skin defect is large, which makes covering the defect difficult. We describe a

Functional Impact of Structural Damage in Psoriatic Arthritis: Insights from a Prospective Cohort Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To examine the association between radiographic structural damage and physical function (PF) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods Data were analyzed from a large longitudinal PsA cohort. PF was measured using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ, 0–3) and Short Form‐36 PF subscale (SF‐36, 0–100); radiographic joint damage was measured ...

Combination Therapy in Participants With Active Psoriatic Arthritis Using Subcutaneous Guselkumab and Golimumab: Week 24 Results From a Phase 2a, Multicenter, Randomized, Double‐Blind, Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess guselkumab + golimumab combination therapy versus guselkumab monotherapy in participants with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and inadequate response to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi‐IR). Methods Adults with active TNFi‐IR PsA (three or more tender/swollen joints) were randomized (2:1) to subcutaneous guselkumab (100 mg) +

autoscoRA: Deep Learning to Automate Sharp/van der Heijde Scoring of Radiographic Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Regular imaging by conventional radiography to assess for joint damage is a cornerstone in the management of rheumatoid arthritis. Scoring systems to quantify such damage, such as the widely used Sharp/van der Heijde (SvdH) score, are limited by the requirement of time and experienced staff as well as intra‐ and interrater variability.
