A phase 2 trial of hydroxychloroquine in individuals at risk for rheumatoid arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Individuals with serum elevations of anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibodies are at increased risk for future rheumatoid arthritis (RA). No pharmacologic interventions have been approved for the prevention of RA in such ‘at‐risk’ individuals. However, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is used without supporting clinical trial evidence.

Optimizing biomass use for carbon storage and land use with the OptiBiU model

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Optimal biomass use in a circular bioeconomy requires a system perspective to guide decision‐making. The Optimizing Biomass Use (OptiBiU) model was developed for this purpose. The model distinguishes among primary biomass production, intermediate products, and biobased products, and incorporates recycling.
