Self-management behaviors do not affect remission but mediate between mental health and disease outcomes in a longitudinal study of rheumatoid arthritis.

Mental health has been shown to impact rheumatoid arthritis (RA) outcomes and is associated with self-management behaviors. The extent to which mental health impacts outcomes via different self-management behaviours has not been thoroughly investigated. Adult RA patients who were starting a new medication or dosage were recruited to a prospective cohort with follow-ups at 3 and 12-months covering clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

Carbon Mineralization in Fractured Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks: A Review.

Mineral carbon storage in mafic and ultramafic rock masses has the potential to be an effective and permanent mechanism to reduce anthropogenic CO. Several successful pilot-scale projects have been carried out in basaltic rock (e.g.

Covalent Inhibitors of KEAP1 with Exquisite Selectivity.

The NRF2-KEAP1 interaction is central for cytoprotection against stresses, giving it high clinical significance. Covalent modification of KEAP1 is an efficient approach, but the covalent inhibitors used in the clinic carry undesired side effects originating in their moderate selectivity. Starting with a phenotypic screen, we identified a new covalent inhibitor chemotype that was optimized to deliver a series of potent and highly selective KEAP1 binders.

Magnesium and Potassium Supplementation for Systolic Blood Pressure Reduction in the General Normotensive Population: A Systematic Review and Subgroup Meta-Analysis for Optimal Dosage and Treatment Length.

Background/objectives: Studies have shown that consistent reductions of 2 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure (SBP) for the general normotensive population can result in significant decreases in mortality from heart disease and stroke. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the optimal dose and duration of treatment for magnesium and potassium supplementation, having previously discovered that both reduce SBP by -2.79 and -2.
