Sleep Matters: Exploring the Link Between Sleep Disturbances and Fatigue in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Objective Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although patients and rheumatologists often attribute fatigue to inflammation, other factors such as sleep disturbances are frequently overlooked. This study aims to explore the relationship between subjective (self‐reported) and objective (actigraphy

Syntax score: The fallacies and remedies—A perspective [PDF]
The syntax score devised as a tool to grade complexity of coronary artery disease with a view to its suitability for PCI or otherwise on deeper introspection is fraught with some inherent limitations and fallacies largely as a result of the variability in coronary anatomy and the fixed nomenclature of the devised scoring system.

Numerical and Experimental Methods for Estimating the Propagation Loss in Microphotonic Waveguides
Finite‐element finite‐difference time domain, eigenmode‐expansion, and volume‐current simulations are benchmarked against cut‐back, ring‐resonator, and OFDR measurements to quantify waveguide propagation loss in integrated photonic circuits. Scattering, absorption, leakage, and back‐reflection contributions are dissected; error sources are ranked; and ...
