Real‐world Longitudinal Data on the Impact of Hydroxychloroquine Blood Level Monitoring on Lupus Outcomes: Results of a Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a cornerstone therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), yet the weight‐based dosing does not account for clinical factors that can introduce individual variability in drug metabolism and clearance. We leveraged longitudinal data from a prospective SLE cohort to: 1) identify clinical factors that predict ...

Safety of Prescription Nonsteroidal Anti‐inflammatory Drugs in Adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Data from a Large Administrative Claims Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives The concern that nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may precipitate flares of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has limited their use in managing musculoskeletal symptoms in this population, but safety data are mixed. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients with IBD ≥ 18 years of age from Optum's de‐identified ...

Discordance between systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index domain weights and their association with organ damage accrual

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Studies of damage accrual in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) show associations with disease activity measured by the SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI‐2K), but these associations are imperfect. SLEDAI scores are powerfully influenced by weightings (1‐8) assigned to each domain.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
