The effect of smoking on response and drug survival in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with their first anti-TNF drug.

Objectives: Smoking has been associated with higher disease activity and poor response to anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We wanted to study the effect of smoking on response to therapy, disease activity measures, and drug survival in RA patients starting their first anti-TNF drug. Methods: In 2005, RA patients in a voluntary rheumatology

Role of the Gly460Trp polymorphism of the alpha-adducin gene in primary hypertension in Scandinavians

Previous studies have suggested that the Trp460 allele of the Gly460Trp polymorphism in the alpha-adducin gene is associated with salt sensitivity and primary hypertension. The present study was undertaken to evaluate if the Trp460 allele of this polymorphism is associated with primary hypertension in Scandinavians. To address this issue, 294 patients with primary hypertension and 265 normotensive

Decontamination after a nuclear fallout: A condensed review of case studies, methods and key references up to 2014

The objective of this work is to provide governmental agencies and the society a condensed overview of the current state of knowledge on the efficiency of applied restoration and remediation of areas affected by radioactive fallout. The most actual real-world case is the Fukushima accident in Japan in 2011: the accident and the following applied decontamination methods are in focus in this review

Prediction of midlife hand osteoarthritis in young men

Objectives: Improved prediction modeling in osteoarthritis (OA) may encourage risk reduction through calculation of individual and population lifetime risks. There are currently no prediction models for hand OA. Thus, we aimed to 1) develop a prediction model for hand OA in men and 2) to contrast its discriminative performance to a prediction model for lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary

Familial associations of rheumatoid arthritis with autoimmune diseases and related conditions

OBJECTIVE: In the era of genome-wide association studies, familial risks are used to estimate disease heritability and the likelihood of candidate-gene identification. This study was undertaken to estimate associations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with any of 33 autoimmune diseases and related conditions among parents and offspring, singleton siblings, twins, and spouses.METHODS: The Multigenerati

Hip pain in children with cerebral palsy : A population-based registry study of risk factors 11 Medical and Health Sciences 1103 Clinical Sciences

Background: Hip pain is prevalent in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Hip displacement is a known risk factor for hip pain. However, many children do not have displaced hips but still have hip pain and the aetiologies are poorly understood. The aims of this study were to investigate: 1. the prevalence of hip pain related to age, gender, gross motor function, degree of hip displacement and 2. the
