From Adult to Adolescent: Alignment in Clinical Trials and Outcomes in Axial Spondyloarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing axial and peripheral forms, with up to 20% of patients developing symptoms before age 16. Despite this substantial pediatric burden, treatment options for juvenile‐onset SpA (JSpA), particularly those with axial disease (axJSpA), remain limited.

Stiff Arteries, Stiff Ventricles [PDF]

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2016
The biophysical properties and neurohormonal regulation of arterial function are influential mediators of cardiovascular disease. Over the past 3 decades, the prognostic importance of arterial stiffness, as a measurable indicator of arterial function, has been recognized in both unselected populations and among patients with cardiovascular risk factors.

Understanding the Burden of Orofacial Involvement and Patient Treatment Preferences in Systemic Sclerosis: Results From a Large International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Orofacial manifestations are significantly impactful in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) yet remain understudied, with no dedicated clinical guidelines to inform their management. Methods An international online survey comprised38 questions addressing orofacial manifestations of SSc, including patients’ confidence in their treating ...

The Small Strain Stiffness of a Carbonate Stiff Clay

Soils and Foundations, 1995
ABSTRACT Knowledge of the small strain stiffness of the heavily overconsolidated Gault Clay, which has up to 30% calcium carbonate content, is rather limited. This has resulted in some difficulties in the analysis and design of structures constructed in the Gault.

Development of a Disease Activity Index for the Assessment of VEXAS Syndrome (VEXAS‐DAI)

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective VEXAS syndrome is characterized by a complex spectrum of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations. Clinical research to identify effective therapies is urgently needed but is hindered by the lack of validated outcome measures. A VEXAS‐specific disease activity index (DAI) is an essential tool for reliably capturing changes in disease ...

Switching in Feedforward Control of Grip Force During Tool-Mediated Interaction With Elastic Force Fields

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2018
Switched systems are common in artificial control systems. Here, we suggest that the brain adopts a switched feedforward control of grip forces during manipulation of objects.

Caregiver Perspectives on the Burden of Disease and Treatment in Uncontrolled Gout

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Uncontrolled gout (UG) refers to persistently elevated serum urate (SU) levels >6 mg/dL and ongoing gout symptoms despite use of urate‐lowering therapy (ULT). The objective of this study was to evaluate the burden associated with informal caregiving for individuals with UG.
