Positive Affect is Associated with Better Physical Function in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objective This study examined the association between positive affect and physical function in individuals with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods We analyzed baseline data from 129 adults with early RA (persistent joint symptoms for ≤ 24 months) and active disease enrolled in the Central Pain in RA 2 (CPIRA‐2) study.

A randomized comparison of off-pump and on-pump multivessel coronary-artery bypass surgery. [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: The effect of the use of coronary-artery bypass surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest ("off pump") on graft patency remains uncertain. We undertook a prospective, randomized, controlled study to compare graft-patency rates
