Cerebrospinal Fluid GAD65‐Antibody Levels Accurately Identify Relevant Neurological Diseases
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Retrospective cohort study to investigate which factors most reliably distinguish incidental GAD65‐antibodies (iGAD65) from true GAD65‐antibody neurological disease (tGAD65). 167 adults with positive serum and CSF GAD65‐antibodies (> 0.02 nmol/L by radioimmunoassay) were classified as tGAD65 or iGAD65, with diagnostic performance of ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Performance Characteristics of a New Aerostatic Thrust Bearing with Poro-Elastic Restrictor
LubricantsAerostatic bearings were proven to be an optimal choice in situations where low friction, cleanliness, and high motion accuracy are required. Their functionality relies heavily on flow restrictors, which are responsible for regulating and controlling the

The stiff man and stiff man plus syndromes
Journal of Neurology, 1999 Rigidity in the setting of continuous motor unit activity at rest can be caused by a variety of central and peripheral conditions. A central origin is suggested by the presence of painful reflex spasms. Focal spinal lesions and infective causes are relatively easily excluded through imaging, microbiological and serological studies.

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.

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.
