Reich’s iterated function systems and well-posedness via fixed point theory
, 2015 In this paper, we prove the existence of the attractors for Reich’s iterated function systems by virtue of a Banach-like fixed point theorem. As a result, under the condition that the Reich contractions discussed are continuous, we give an affirmative ...

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objectives There is growing interest in evaluating new strategies to delay or prevent post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in individuals who have sustained anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study sought to determine characteristics of potential treatments that are acceptable to patients with ACL injury.

Iterated function system of generalized cyclic F-contractive mappings
Applied General TopologyThe aim of this paper is to study the sufficient conditions for the existence of attractor of a generalized cyclic iterated function system composed of a complete metric space and a finite collection of generalized cyclic F-contraction mappings.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective The objective was to identify factors determining acute arthritis resolution and safety with colchicine and prednisone in acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis. Methods We conducted a post hoc analysis of the COLCHICORT trial, which compared colchicine and prednisone for the treatment of acute CPP crystal arthritis, using a ...

Serum Soluble Mediator Signatures of Lupus Nephritis: Histologic Features and Response to Treatment
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Lupus nephritis (LN) management remains challenging, and novel noninvasive biomarkers are needed. This study quantified serum soluble mediators in the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) LN cohort to identify biomarkers of histologic features and treatment response.

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.

Locally Contractive Iterated Function Systems
The Annals of Probability, 1999 An iterated function system on \(X\subset \mathbb{R}^d\) is defined by successively applying and i.i.d. sequence of random Lipschitz functions from \(X\) to \(X\). This paper shows how \(F_n=f_1 \circ\cdots \circ f_n\) may converge even in the absence of the strong contraction conditions, for instance, Lipschitz constant smaller than 1 on average ...

Sex Differences in Medication Discontinuation in Axial Spondyloarthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We examined sex differences in medication discontinuation among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) initiating tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), interleukin‐17 inhibitors (IL‐17i), or JAK inhibitors (JAKi). Methods Using data from the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) Registry (2003–2025), we assessed ...
