Anorectal Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Phenotypes and Functional Patterns
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize specific physiologic defects in anorectal dysfunction in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using anorectal manometry (ARM), evaluate associations with gastrointestinal (GI) and extraintestinal clinical phenotypes, and explore potential serologic markers for risk stratification.

Frailty Predicts Incident Osteoporotic Fractures in Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of frailty and osteoporosis, but the relationship between frailty and incident osteoporotic fractures in RA is underexplored. Methods Data were from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry. Frailty was measured using the VA Frailty Index (VAFI).

Objective Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is the cornerstone of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) management with benefits extending beyond SLE control, including protection against atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although HCQ blood levels reflect recent exposure and long‐term intake reflects medication adherence, the impact of longitudinal ...

La belleza es un tema difícil. En este artículo mi interés es poner atención a este aspecto de la vida cotidiana que pareciera banal pero que en sus diversas expresiones, rituales, prácticas y procesos revela un intricado de conexiones inesperadas. Como

Objective Osteoarthritis, the leading cause of disability worldwide, disproportionately affects women, yet sex remains an overlooked determinant. This disparity stems from sex‐specific differences in injury susceptibility—a major risk factor for disease.

Objective We employed global genetic deletion of CD14 and intra‐articular CD14 blockade across multiple murine osteoarthritis (OA) models that vary in severity of pathology and rate of progression to test the hypothesis that CD14 inhibition attenuates synovial inflammation and associated pain during disease progression.

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 ...

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Knee Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Objective To examine whether concentrations of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS relate to incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and knee pain progression. Methods Among a case‐cohort sample from the OA Initiative (n = 1,878), we examined associations of serum concentrations of eight PFAS with odds of developing ...

Objective Carbamylation, a nonenzymatic post‐translational modification, contributes to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. Anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP) occur in around 50% of patients with RA and associate with greater joint damage. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are a major source of carbamylated autoantigens. We sought

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
