Audio-vestibular symptoms in systemic autoimmune diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Immune-mediated inner ear disease can be primary, when the autoimmune response is against the inner ear, or secondary. The latter is characterized by the involvement of the ear in the presence of systemic autoimmune conditions. Sensorineural hearing loss

Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning to diagnose Systemic Sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
The motivation of this work is the use of non-invasive and low cost techniques to obtain a faster and more accurate diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatic, autoimmune, chronic and rare disease. The technique in question is Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS). Spectra were acquired from three different regions of hand's volunteers.

Mixture of Input-Output Hidden Markov Models for Heterogeneous Disease Progression Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
A particular challenge for disease progression modeling is the heterogeneity of a disease and its manifestations in the patients. Existing approaches often assume the presence of a single disease progression characteristics which is unlikely for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Longitudinal Relationship Between Pain and Depression in People With Inflammatory Arthritis: A Narrative Review

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Modeling the Association Structure in Doubly Robust GEE for Longitudinal Ordinal Missing Data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Generalized Estimation Equations (GEE) are a well-known method for the analysis of categorical longitudinal responses. GEE method has computational simplicity and population parameter interpretation. In the presence of missing data it is only valid under the strong assumption of missing completely at random.

Association of Higher Levels of High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein With Future Development of Psoriatic Arthritis in Psoriasis: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to assess whether high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP) levels could predict the development of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis. Methods We analyzed data from a prospective cohort of patients with psoriasis without PsA at enrollment.

A Distributed Sensor Data Search Platform for Internet of Things Environments [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Recently, the number of devices has grown increasingly and it is hoped that, between 2015 and 2016, 20 billion devices will be connected to the Internet and this market will move around 91.5 billion dollars. The Internet of Things (IoT) is composed of small sensors and actuators embedded in objects with Internet access and will play a key role in ...
