Efficacy and safety of loxoprofen hydrogel patch versus loxoprofen tablet in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014, Clinical Rheumatology. This study is aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of loxoprofen sodium hydrogel patch (LX-P) with loxoprofen sodium tablet (LX-T) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). One hundred sixty-nine patients were en...

Impact of Exercise Type and Dose on Pain and Disability in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials: Impact of Exercise Type and Dose in Knee Osteoarthritis (2014)
Journal Article

Objective: To identify the optimal exercise program, characterized by type and intensity of exercise, length of program, duration of individual supervised sessions, and number of sessions per week, for reducing pain and patient-reported disability in...

Rising burden of gout in the UK but continuing suboptimal management: A nationwide population study (2014)
Journal Article

Objectives: To describe trends in the epidemiology of gout and patterns of urate-lowering treatment (ULT) in the UK general population from 1997 to 2012. Methods: We used the Clinical Practice Research Datalink to estimate the prevalence and incidenc...

Familial aggregation of gout and relative genetic and environmental contributions: a nationwide population study in Taiwan (2013)
Journal Article

© 2015, BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objective: To examine familial aggregation of gout and to estimate the heritability and environmental contributions to gout susceptibility in the general population. Methods: Using data from the Nati... Read More about Familial aggregation of gout and relative genetic and environmental contributions: a nationwide population study in Taiwan.

The effect of FTO variation on increased osteoarthritis risk is mediated through body mass index: a mendelian randomisation study (2013)
Journal Article

© 2015, BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objective: Variation in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene influences susceptibility to obesity. A variant in the FTO gene has been implicated in genetic risk to osteoarthritis (OA). We e...

Journal Article

Gene-environment interaction between body mass index and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF?1) gene in knee and hip osteoarthritis (2013)
Journal Article

Introduction: The objective was to investigate potential gene-environment interaction between body mass index (BMI) and each of eight TGF?1 polymorphisms in knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: We conducted a case-control study of Caucasian me...

Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement (2012)
Journal Article

Introduction: We aimed to describe the distribution of radiographic chondrocalcinosis (CC) and to examine whether metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) calcification and CC at other joints occurs in the absence of knee involvement. Methods: This was... Read More about Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement.

Quantitative sensory testing in painful osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2012)
Journal Article

Objective: To systematically review the use of Quantitative sensory testing (QST) in pain characterisation (phenotyping) in Osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Six bibliographic databases (Medline, Embase, Amed, Cinahl, PubMed, Web of Science) were searche...

Predictors of change in bodily pain in early rheumatoid arthritis: an inception cohort study (2012)
Journal Article

Objective: To investigate possible predictors for lack of pain improvement after 1 year of treatment for early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: The Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Network (ERAN) database was used for analysis of baseline and 1-year...
