Effect of a 2-week interruption in methotrexate treatment on COVID-19 vaccine response in people with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (VROOM study): a randomised, open label, superiority trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Methotrexate is the first-line treatment for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and reduces vaccine-induced immunity. We evaluated if a 2-week interruption of methotrexate treatment immediately after COVID-19 booster vaccination improv...

Impact of Frailty on Emergency Department Encounters for Cardiovascular Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study (2023)
Journal Article

Data are limited on whether the causes of emergency department (ED) encounters for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and associated clinical outcomes vary by frailty status. Using the United States Nationwide ED Sample, selected CVD encounters (acute my...

Dynamic assessment of the double contour sign by ultrasonography helps to distinguish between gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (2023)
Journal Article

Objective To test whether the double contour (DC) sign has a different dynamic behaviour in gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) and whether the dynamic assessment of the DC sign increases its accuracy in gout diagnosis. Methods This cros... Read More about Dynamic assessment of the double contour sign by ultrasonography helps to distinguish between gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease.
