This study demonstrates significant correlations between the organic matter content of urban
street dust and certain mineral magnetic properties, which accords with previous work that …

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are increased in rheumatoid arthritis
(RA). Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is high in RA and, together with smoking and obesity, an important …

Objective. Corrected QT (QTc) interval predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and
may contribute to the increased mortality risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Animal experiments …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associates with excess cardiovascular risk and there is a need to
assess that risk. However, individual lipid levels may be influenced by disease activity and …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associates with excess cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality.
Hypertension, a highly prevalent entity in RA, has been associated with the endothelin-1 (…

Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a systemic inflammatory disease with complex genetic
aetiology, associates with excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Dyslipidaemia, a …

Objectives A genetic variant of the leukocyte phosphatase PTPN22 (R620W) is strongly
associated with autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Functional studies on …

Purpose Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients display high levels of oxidative stress. Transient
exercise-induced increases in oxidative stress are thought to be adaptive in healthy …

Intra-articular corticosteroid injections (IACI) are commonly used interventions for pain relief
in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Biomarkers may be helpful in further elucidating …

Introduction Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at an increased risk for cardiovascular
disease (CVD). An early manifestation of CVD is endothelial dysfunction which can lead to …
