Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to investigate the causal links between plasma proteins and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), as IVDD affects disability and quality of life globally.
- - Using data from an Icelandic population and the FinnGen consortium, researchers found a significant causal association between 47 specific plasma proteins and IVDD, with particular proteins like myoneurin showing strong correlations.
- - The findings highlight that these plasma proteins could serve as valuable biomarkers for predicting IVDD risk, enhancing our understanding of the disease's mechanisms and potential treatment targets.
Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic connective tissue autoimmune disease that can infiltrate arterial walls. The delay in diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid vasculitis (RV) in patients with RA may lead to irreversible damage to the arterial walls of small-to-medium vessels, which has serious and devastating consequences, most notably lung and cardiac damage. In this work an ultrasound image-based biomarker was developed to detect precursory changes in RV.
