Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether pollutants such as fire smoke–related particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods This patient–control study used Veterans Affairs (VA) data from October 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objectives Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associated anti‐citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) target various antigens by binding short citrulline‐amino acid motifs, resulting in heterogeneous ACPA‐profiles among patients. Here we analyzed ACPA‐patterns by recognized citrulline‐motifs in relation to the RA risk factors HLA‐DRB1 shared epitope (SE ...

Estimating the Attack Ratio of Dengue Epidemics under Time-varying Force of Infection using Aggregated Notification Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Quantifying the attack ratio of disease is key to epidemiological inference and Public Health planning. For multi-serotype pathogens, however, different levels of serotype-specific immunity make it difficult to assess the population at risk. In this paper we propose a Bayesian method for estimation of the attack ratio of an epidemic and the initial ...

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Actinobacillus succinogenes is a ruminal microorganism of biotechnological importance due to its capacity to produce succinic acid at high yields. Despite the scientific interest in this organism, molecular vehicles for the transfer and expression of genetic material are limited compared to the existing demand.
