Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the differential impact of disease activity and severity on functional status and patient satisfaction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using cluster analysis on data from the FRANK registry.
Methods: Data from 3,619 RA patients in the FRANK registry were analysed. Patients were grouped using hierarchical and k-means cluster analyses based on age, physician's global assessment (PhGA), patient's pain assessment (PtPA), and Steinbrocker stage.
Article Synopsis
- C. elegans is a key model organism used in various biological studies due to its short lifespan, fast reproduction, and genetic similarities to mammals, particularly useful in aging research.
- Recent findings demonstrate that C. elegans fed heat-killed or freeze-dried E. coli show better lifespan and healthspan compared to those fed live bacteria, indicating the importance of food source conditions.
- The study also reveals that a 0.1% DMSO treatment negatively affects lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans when fed dead bacteria, emphasizing the need to consider experimental conditions in longevity research.
Antimicrobial resistance has recently increased due to emerging carbapenem-resistant and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains of , especially among hypermucoviscous (hmKp) strains. To evaluate the prevalence of ESBL-producing and carbapenem-resistant strains in hmKp and non-hmKp clinical isolates through a systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases from January 2000 to June 2023.
