Discordance Between Patient and Physician Global Assessments in Early Systemic Sclerosis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aims to identify factors associated with patient global assessment (PtGA) and physician global assessment (PhGA) and discordance between them in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Data from adults with early SSc (<5 years) from the Collaborative National Quality and Efficacy Registry were included.

Perceived Impacts and Predictors of Cannabis Products Used by Patients with Rheumatologic Conditions in Alberta, Canada: A Multivariable Analysis of Cross‐Sectional Survey Data

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to characterize cannabis product choices (cannabinoid content and formulation) among patients with rheumatologic conditions and their associations with patient factors, patient‐reported perceived side effects, and positive impacts.

Personalized ventilation guided by electrical impedance tomography with increased PEEP improves ventilation‐perfusion matching in asymmetrical airway closure and contralateral pulmonary embolism during veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A case report

open access: yesPhysiological Reports
We report the case of a 54‐year‐old man with right‐lung pneumonia and contralateral pulmonary embolism (PE) conditioning severe refractory hypoxemia requiring veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) was used

The Gut–Heart Axis in Systemic Sclerosis: Evidence From a Large Prospective Early Disease Cohort

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement significantly impacts prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), highlighting the need for early risk stratification. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and often manifest early. Emerging data suggest a link between GI and cardiac manifestations, possibly through shared mechanisms like dysautonomia.

Integrated Bayesian approach to incorporate prior biological knowledge in the investigation of genetic variants associated with lung function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Genetic association studies aim to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with complex diseases and traits. These studies, especially those performed at the genome-wide level, have successfully identified many SNPs associated

Dynamic hyperinflation and intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure in ARDS patients

open access: yesCritical Care, 2019
Background In ARDS patients, changes in respiratory mechanical properties and ventilatory settings can cause incomplete lung deflation at end-expiration. Both can promote dynamic hyperinflation and intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).

Distinct Systemic Sclerosis Phenotypes Related to Ethnicity: An Opportunity to Personalize Care?

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective is to describe and compare demographic, clinical, and serological characteristics of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) according to ethnic background. Methods Participants enrolled in the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group cohort who self‐identified to a single ethnicity group were included.

Lung Cancer in Pulmonary Fibrosis: Tales of Epithelial Cell Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Lung epithelial cells exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Alterations to lung epithelial cell function are critically involved in several chronic lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis.

Future directions of lung‐protective ventilation strategies in acute respiratory distress syndrome

open access: yesAcute Medicine & Surgery
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the heterogeneous distribution of lung aeration along a gravitational direction due to increased lung density.
