Red cell distribution width/albumin ratio and mortality risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients: Insights from a NHANES study.

Background: Despite the established negative regulatory effects observed in various diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the distinct impact of red cell distribution width (RDW) to albumin ratio (RAR) on mortality within the realm of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains obscure. This study sought to explore the relationship between RAR and mortality in RA patients.

Methods: A cohort of 2151 adults with RA from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2003-2016 was analyzed for RAR levels derived from red cell distribution width and albumin concentrations.

Association between oxidative balance score and risk of gout: The NHANES cross-sectional study, 2007-2018.

Background: The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) is a systematic tool to assess the effects of diet and lifestyle in relation to oxidative stress. The association between OBS and gout has not been reported previously. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the complex association between OBS and gout in US adults.

Different gender of oxidative balance score on the risk of rheumatoid arthritis in the US population from NHANES.

Background: Oxidative stress is associated with risk of pathogenesis between rheumatoid arthritis. The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) is a systematic tool to assess the effects of diet and lifestyle in relation to oxidative stress. However, the association between OBS and rheumatoid arthritis has not been reported previously.

Physical Aging Behavior of the Side Chain of a Conjugated Polymer PBTTT.

This paper provides a viewpoint of the technology of the fast-scanning calorimetry with the relaxation behavior of disordered side chains of poly[2,5-bis(3-dodecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (PBTTT-C12) around the glass transition temperature of the side chains (). PBTTT is an ideal model of the high-performance copolymer of poly(alkylthiophenes) with side chains. The relaxation process of the disordered side chains of PBTTT was detected as a small endothermic peak that emerges before the relaxation process.
