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

Fatigue of the respiratory muscles

The respiratory system is tasked with the transfer of oxygen from air to blood as well as the regulation of carbon dioxide and pH. Cyclical contraction of the respiratory muscles permits relative blood gas homeostasis in healthy humans even under ...

Clinical Characteristics and Concordance of Anti‐MDA5 Antibodies: A Multicenter Australian Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective In Australia, anti‐MDA5 antibodies are exclusively tested by a line immunoblot assay (LIA). The clinical concordance of an LIA‐positive anti‐MDA5 result is unclear. We aimed to describe the clinical features and determine the clinical concordance of patients with anti‐MDA5 antibodies. Methods Electronic records of a multisite cohort (patients

Assessment of the respiratory muscles strenght in beta-thalassemia

, 2010
Intolerance to exercise still remains a common feature in beta-thalassemia patients (BT), despite the transfusional regimen and iron chelation therapy. The most frequent spirometric deficit reported is of restrictive type, but the relative contribution ...

Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.

Sex differences in the work of breathing during exercise are independent of forced vital capacity in healthy adults

Experimental Physiology
During exercise, females have a higher work of breathing (ẆB) than males for a given minute ventilation (V̇E) ≥ 50–60 L min−1, presumably due to sex differences in airway size.

Scalene and sternocleidomastoid activation during normoxic and hypoxic incremental inspiratory loading

Physiological Reports, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine scalene (SA) and sternocleidomastoid (SM) activation during normoxic (norm‐ITL; FIO2 = 21%) and hypoxic (hyp‐ITL; FIO2 = 15%) incremental inspiratory threshold loading (ITL).
