The acute-phase response is not predictive for the development of arthritis in seropositive arthralgia - a prospective cohort study.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether markers of the acute-phase response in patients presenting with arthralgia and positive anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and/or immunoglobulin M rheumatoid factor (IgM-RF) could be predictive for the development of arthritis. METHODS In total, 137 ACPA- and/or IgM-RF-positive patients were included. Patients were followed annually for the development o...
متن کاملBone mineral density loss in postmenopausal onset rheumatoid arthritis is not greater than premenopausal onset disease
Background: Postmenopausal onset rheumatoid arthritis (post-RA) is expected to have greater bone mineral density (BMD) loss than premenopauasal onset (pre-RA) due to estrogen deficiency and aging. This study aimed to compare the BMD status of the two RA groups with age-matched non-RA controls. Methods: The patients with RA on follow-up examination were stratified according to age of onset. ...

متن کاملWhen every $P$-flat ideal is flat
In this paper, we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings. In particular, Von Neumann regular rings, hereditary rings, semi-hereditary ring, PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings. In the context domain, this notion coincide with Pr"{u}fer domain. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for...
متن کاملWhen Senescence Is Optimal and When It Is Not
A simple model is developed that captures the main features of life reproduction, growth and maintenance. These features are determined by a single state variable, vitality. The resulting optimal life-history strategies are classified with respect to the course of their characteristic age-trajectory of mortality. It is shown that the range of optimal life histories is wide. The main factors tha...
