Residual inflammation in psoriatic arthritis patients in stable minimal disease activity [PDF]
BackgroundIn psoriatic arthritis (PsA), low disease activity as defined by the Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) index is considered a good treatment target.

Minimal disease activity and impact of disease in psoriatic arthritis: a Spanish cross-sectional multicenter study [PDF]
Background Patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) experience functional impairment and reduced quality of life, and thus patient global assessment in PsA is explained mainly by the physical, but also by the psychological, aspect of the disease.

The “Climb” Towards Minimal Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis [PDF]
Minimal disease activity (MDA) is a validated outcome measure in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) defining a low disease activity state with a cutoff of 5/7. The main aim of the study was to look at the MDA divided into in the seven cutoffs, analyzing the more frequently achieved domains.

On Modelling Minimal Disease Activity [PDF]
ObjectiveTo explore methods for statistical modelling of minimal disease activity (MDA) based on data from intermittent clinic visits.MethodsThe analysis was based on a 2‐state model. Comparisons were made between analyses based on “complete case” data from visits at which MDA status was known, and the use of hidden model methodology that incorporated ...

Burden of Psoriatic Arthritis According to Different Definitions of Disease Activity: Comparing Minimal Disease Activity and the Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis [PDF]
ObjectiveTreat‐to‐target strategies have improved outcomes in rheumatic diseases. In psoriatic arthritis (PsA), the proposed targets are the multidimensional target minimal disease activity (MDA) and the articular target Disease Activity index for PsA (DAPSA).

Association between anti-nephrin autoantibodies and disease activity in minimal change disease
Background Minimal change disease (MCD) is a podocytopathy linked to immune-mediated mechanisms, with emerging evidence suggesting the presence of anti-nephrin autoantibodies in a subset of patients.

Minimal Change Disease Is Associated With Endothelial Glycocalyx Degradation and Endothelial Activation [PDF]
Minimal change disease (MCD) is considered a podocyte disorder triggered by unknown circulating factors. Here, we hypothesized that the endothelial cell (EC) is also involved in MCD.We studied 45 children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (44 had steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome [SSNS], and 12 had biopsy-proven MCD), 21 adults with MCD, and 38 ...
