Improved Detection of Myositis‐Specific Autoantibodies Using Luciferase Immunoprecipitation Systems Assay: Comparison With Line Blot and Conventional Immunoprecipitation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Myositis‐specific autoantibodies guide the diagnosis and classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, but current immunoassays vary in accuracy, particularly for autoantibodies associated with interstitial lung disease. To compare the performance of the luciferase immunoprecipitation systems (LIPS) assay with line blot and ...

ANK1 and EPB41 Variants and the Risk of Steroid‐Induced Osteonecrosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Steroid‐induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory skeletal disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, conclusive pathogenic genetic evidence remains elusive due to the limited exploration of rare damaging variants. In this study, we aimed to identify rare variants associated with SONFH.

LogConcDEAD: An R Package for Maximum Likelihood Estimation of a Multivariate Log-Concave Density

Journal of Statistical Software, 2008
In this article we introduce the R package LogConcDEAD (Log-concave density estimation in arbitrary dimensions). Its main function is to compute the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a log-concave density.

Nerve Growth Factor is Sufficient to Cause Multiple Osteoarthritis‐Relevant Pathologic Features in Naïve Murine Knee Joints

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Nerve growth factor (NGF), a key mediator of pain, is increased in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Antibodies against NGF show analgesic effects in painful knee OA, but clinical development was stopped because of side effects in the joints. Knowledge about the biologic effects of NGF on joint tissues is limited. Therefore, we explored the effects

POINTWISE UNIVERSAL CONSISTENCY OF NONPARAMETRIC LINEAR ESTIMATORS [PDF]

This paper presents sufficient conditions for pointwise universal consistency of nonparametric delta estimators. We show the applicability of these conditions for some classes of nonparametric estimators.

The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Sustained pharmacodynamic effects of S‐ketamine on cortical excitability and resting‐state brain activity: A randomized, placebo‐controlled trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to investigate a set of pharmacodynamic biomarkers reflecting acute, delayed and sustained central nervous system effects of S‐ketamine, used as a tool compound for rapid‐acting antidepressant activity, with the goal of informing biomarker strategies for delayed antidepressant effects.

Publicly funded private schools and academic achievement: A comparative analysis of PISA data in European countries

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper analyses differences in academic achievement associated with attendance at publicly funded private schools and public schools across 11 European countries. Using eight waves of PISA data (2000–2022), we apply OLS, IPW and IPWRA estimators to account for observed heterogeneity and mitigate selection bias.
