Each year, the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) holds a trainee symposium adjacent to the GRAPPA annual meeting. The target audience for this meeting includes trainees in rheumatology, dermatology, and related fields. The 2021 GRAPPA Trainee Symposium focused on challenges in the diagnosis and assessment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). During the meeting, speakers focused on identification of psoriasis (PsO), the differential diagnosis for both PsO and PsA, diagnostic errors and pitfalls, physical examination in PsA, patient-reported outcomes and composite measures in the assessment of PsA, and the patient perspective on diagnosis and assessment, followed by a panel discussion. This paper summarizes the content discussed at the meeting.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In addition to the daily challenges that HF poses, acute exacerbations can lead to costly hospitalizations and increased mortality. High health care costs and the burden of HF have led to the emerging application of new technologies to support people living with HF to stay well while living in the community.

: This study evaluated changes in selected spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters and balance in girls with Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with and without the Chêneau brace. : 15 subjects with scoliosis wearing the Chêneau brace and an equal comparative control group underwent objective gait analysis with the 3D BTS motion caption system. Balance assessment was done with the Kistler platform.

Background: The relationships between pectoralis muscle parameters and outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain uncertain.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library from 1 January 2019 to 1 May 2024 to identify non-overlapping studies evaluating pectoralis muscle-associated index on chest CT scan with clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients. Random-effects and fixed-effects meta-analyses were performed, and heterogeneity between studies was quantified using the I2 statistic.
Pre-treatment subjective sleep quality as a predictive biomarker of tDCS effects in preclinical Alzheimer's disease patients: Secondary analysis of a randomised clinical trial.

Department of Psychiatry, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Sha Tin, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Background: Despite transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has demonstrated encouraging potential for modulating the circadian rhythm, little is known about how well and sustainably tDCS might improve the subjective sleep quality in older adults. This study sought to determine how tDCS affected sleep quality and cognition, as well as how well pre-treatment sleep quality predicted tDCS effects on domain-specific cognitive functions in patients with mild neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer's disease (NCD-AD).
Methods: This clinical trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of tDCS and cognitive training in mild NCD-AD patients (n = 201).
3D ophthalmic ultrasonography at the slit lamp using existing ultrasound systems.

Department of Ophthalmology, Gavin Herbert Eye Institute, University of California Irvine, Irvine, California, United States of America.
Purpose: This study aims to explore the feasibility and performance of three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) imaging in ophthalmology using commercially available ultrasound probes adapted to a slit lamp.
Significance: Despite ultrasound's long-standing application in eye care for visualizing ocular components, the evolution of 3DUS technology has remained inactive, with limited development and commercial availability. This study introduces a novel method that could potentially enhance ophthalmic diagnostics and treatment planning by providing comprehensive 3D views of ocular structures using existing ultrasound probes adapted to the conventional slit lamp.
