Association between ultrasound-detected synovitis and knee pain: a population-based case-control study with both cross-sectional and follow-up data (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Recently an important role for synovial pathology in the initiation and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA) has been emphasised. This study aimed to examine whether ultrasonographydetected synovial changes (USSCs) associate with knee...

Triggers of acute attacks of gout, does age of gout onset matter?: a primary care based cross-sectional study (2017)
Journal Article

Objectives To determine the proportion of people with gout who self-report triggers of acute attacks; identify the commonly reported triggers, and examine the disease and demographic features associated with self-reporting any trigger(s) of acute...

Knee pain and related health in the community study (KPIC): a cohort study protocol (2017)
Journal Article

Background: The incidence, progression and related risk factors for recent-onset knee pain (KP) remain uncertain. This study aims to examine the natural history of KP including incidence and progression and to identify possible phenotypes and their a...

Risk of cardiovascular disease in Chinese patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross sectional study based on hospital medical records in 10 years (2017)
Journal Article

Objective: Though the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been established in Western population, little is known about the risk in Chinese people with RA. Our objective was to estimate the risk of CVD in Chinese peo...

Association of beta-blocker use with less prevalent joint pain and lower opioid requirement in people with osteoarthritis (2017)
Journal Article

Objective: Recent findings suggest that β-adrenergic blockers have anti-nociceptive properties. The aim of this study was to compare levels of large joint pain between those on adrenergic blockers and those on other antihypertensive medications. Met...

Journal Article

Pain in knee osteoarthritis is associated with variation in the neurokinin 1/substance P receptor (TACR 1) gene (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Substance P (SP) is a pain- and inflammation-related neuropeptide which preferentially binds to the neurokinin receptor 1 (NK1). SP and NK1 receptors have been implicated in joint pain, inflammation and damage in animal models and human s...

Risk prediction model for knee pain in the Nottingham Community: a Bayesian modeling approach (2017)
Journal Article

Background: 25% of the British population over the age of 50 experience knee pain. It can limit physical ability, cause distress and bears significant socioeconomic costs. Knee pain, not knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the all to common malady. The obje... Read More about Risk prediction model for knee pain in the Nottingham Community: a Bayesian modeling approach.

The placebo effect and its determinants in fibromyalgia: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (2017)
Journal Article

The aims of this study were to determine whether placebo treatment in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) is effective for fibromyalgia and to identify possible determinants of the magnitude of any such placebo effect. A systematic literature search... Read More about The placebo effect and its determinants in fibromyalgia: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
