Characterization and variability of PROMIS-10 scores with physical therapy in knee osteoarthritis: A retrospective review.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) and its impairments affect patients' physical and mental health. Radiographically severe knee OA is believed to respond less to conservative treatments including physical therapy (PT) but has not been compared specifically with Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-10.

Objective: To correlate baseline PROMIS-10 physical and mental health scores in patients undergoing PT for knee OA, subgrouped by radiographic severity (Kellgren-Lawrence [KL] grade and number of knee compartments involved).

Higher circulating ACE2 and DPP3 but reduced ACE and angiotensinogen in hyperreninemic sepsis patients.

Sepsis and septic shock are global healthcare problems associated with high mortality rates. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is an early event in sepsis, and elevated renin may be predictive of worse outcomes. In a subset of sepsis patients enrolled in the Vitamin C, Thiamine and Steroids in Sepsis (VICTAS) trial, elevated levels of active renin (median value > 189 pg/mL or 5.

International multi-cohort analysis identifies novel framework for quantifying immune dysregulation in critical illness: results of the SUBSPACE consortium.

Progress in the management of critical care syndromes such as sepsis, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), and trauma has slowed over the last two decades, limited by the inherent heterogeneity within syndromic illnesses. Numerous immune endotypes have been proposed in sepsis and critical care, however the overlap of the endotypes is unclear, limiting clinical translation. The SUBSPACE consortium is an international consortium that aims to advance precision medicine through the sharing of transcriptomic data.
