Longitudinal Relationship Between Pain and Depression in People With Inflammatory Arthritis: A Narrative Review

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

Hairy Tongue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hairy tongue (lingua villosa) is a commonly observed condition of defective desquamation of the filiform papillae that results from a variety of precipitating factors. [1] The condition is most frequently referred to as black hairy tongue (lingua villosa

3D Bioprinting‐Assisted Engineering of Stem Cell‐Laden Hybrid Biopatches With Distinct Geometric Patterns Considering the Mechanical Characteristics of Regular and Irregular Connective Tissues

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid biopatch platform integrating 3D printed polymeric patterns with stem cell‐laden collagen bioinks is developed to mimic the mechanical properties of connective tissues. By tailoring geometric architectures, the constructs replicate anisotropic or isotropic mechanics, enhancing tissue‐specific regeneration.
