Article Synopsis
- Biologics like adalimumab are being increasingly used to treat systemic uveitis, aiming to improve patient outcomes in vision preservation.
- A study involving 46 patients showed that most were able to discontinue or significantly reduce their corticosteroid use while effectively managing their uveitis.
- Results indicated that most patients maintained or improved their vision over an average follow-up of about 4.5 years, with a low relapse rate and no serious side effects reported.
Objective: MicroRNA-34a-5p (miR-34a-5p) expression is elevated in the synovial fluid of patients with late-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA); however, its exact role and therapeutic potential in OA remain to be fully elucidated. This study was undertaken to examine the role of miR-34a-5p in OA pathogenesis.
Methods: Expression of miR-34a-5p was determined in joint tissues and human plasma (n = 71).
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether functional status, as measured by the AcuteFIM instrument, can be used to predict discharge destination of stroke patients from the acute hospital setting.
Design: A retrospective cohort study was carried out in an urban academic medical center. Data were collected on 481 new-onset stroke patients 18 yrs or older in an acute hospital between January 1 and September 30, 2013.
