The Lupus Damage Index Revision Program: Results From the Item Generation and Reduction Phases

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective A data‐driven and expert/patient consensus‐based project to develop a revised Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Damage Index (SDI) is under way supported by SLICC, ACR, and the Lupus Foundation of America. Our objective is to report the item generation and reduction phase results

Three cases of pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM): Challenge in antemortem diagnosis using lung perfusion blood volume images by dual-energy computed tomography

European Journal of Radiology Open, 2020
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a specific type of tumor embolism in the small and medium pulmonary arteries, leading to rapid progressive pulmonary hypertension. Antemortem diagnosis of PTTM is extremely difficult.

Association of Elevated Platelets and C‐Reactive Protein With Severe Disease and Poor Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been linked with severe disease and worse survival, but the role of platelet levels remains unclear. This study examined whether elevated platelet levels, CRP levels, or both are associated with disease severity, progression, and survival in SSc.

Pulmonary vascular pruning in smokers with bronchiectasis

ERJ Open Research, 2018
There are few studies looking at the pulmonary circulation in subjects with bronchiectasis. We aimed to evaluate the intraparenchymal pulmonary vascular structure, using noncontrast chest computed tomography (CT), and its clinical implications in smokers

Beyond Visual Scoring: Computational CT‐analysis for HRCT based quantification of Interstitial Lung Disease in Inflammatory Rheumatic Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Interstitial lung disease (IRD‐ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disorders (IRD). High‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is widely considered the gold standard for the non‐invasive assessment of ILD; however, its interpretation is constrained by substantial inter‐observer variability and ...

Pulmonary regional blood flow: validation of low-dose two-volume dynamic CT perfusion imaging in a swine model

European Radiology Experimental
Background We aimed to validate a low-dose two-volume pulmonary computed tomography (CT) perfusion technique. Methods Five Yorkshire swine (weight 53.6 ± 2.6 kg) underwent 21 independent CT perfusion acquisitions. Intravenous contrast material (370 mg/mL

Receptor‐Free Identification of Toxic Gases Enabled by Hygroscopic Aqueous Salt Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Water as a gas sensor coating sounds impossible—until it stops evaporating. Here, hygroscopic salt solutions (LiCl, LiBr, H3PO4) form non‐drying aqueous films on CNT chemiresistors under ambient air. Gases partition into these liquid layers, sometimes transforming into water, and generate salt‐specific resistance fingerprints across a four‐channel ...
