“It's Just Good Science”: A Qualitative Study Exploring Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Canadian Arthritis Research

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Despite knowledge that health outcomes vary according to patient characteristics, identity, and geography, including underrepresented populations in arthritis research remains a challenge. We conducted interviews to explore how researchers in arthritis have used equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles to inform their research ...

On joint distribution of range and terminal value of a Brownian motion [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this note, we present the closed form solution for the joint distribution of the range and terminal value of a Brownian motion. Based on this distribution we build a range scaled terminal value distribution and show the derivation steps of its density, further s-density.

Patient Perceptions of Medication Therapy for Prevention of Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: A Qualitative Content Analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) accounts for nearly 12% of osteoarthritis incidences and often occurs after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Ensuring the uptake of preventive treatments for PTOA requires that investigators and clinicians understand factors influencing patients to seek preventive therapies.

Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Radiographic Changes in Psoriatic Arthritis: A Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a known comorbidity of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and is associated with PsA disease activity. We aimed to explore the association between MetS and radiographic features (peripheral and axial) in PsA. Methods We included patients with PsA followed at our prospective observational cohort for the period between 1978 ...

Lap-joint corrosion of precoated materials for building applications

Surface and Coatings Technology, 2005
The adoption of designs involving the use of lap joints is becoming increasingly common in the building industry. However, precoated steel sheets assembled by lap joints are prone to suffer durability problems associated with this type of joint, such as the premature deterioration of protective coatings (metallic, organic) and accelerated metallic ...

Sequence Analysis to Phenotype Health Care Patterns in Adults With Musculoskeletal Conditions Using Primary Care Electronic Health Records

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to apply sequence analysis (SA) to phenotype health care patterns of adult patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions using primary care electronic health records and to investigate the association between these health care patterns and patients’ self‐reported outcomes after consultation.

Transient acoustic vaporization signatures unique to low boiling point phase change contrast agents enable super-resolution ultrasound imaging without spatiotemporal filtering

AIP Advances, 2020
The unique activation signal of phase-change contrast agents (PCCAs or droplets) can be separated from the tissue signal and localized to generate super-resolution (SR) ultrasound (US) images.

Anisotropic multicomponent topology optimization for additive manufacturing with build orientation design and stress-constrained interfaces [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
This paper presents a multicomponent topology optimization method for designing structures assembled from additively-manufactured components, considering anisotropic material behavior for each component due to its build orientation, distinct material behavior and stress constraint at component interfaces (i.e., joints).
