Acute compartment syndrome of the thigh in a rugby player (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, R. D. J., Rust-March, H., & Kluzek, S. (2015). Acute compartment syndrome of the thigh in a rugby player. BMJ Case Reports, 2015, Article bcr2015210856. https://doi.org/10.1136/bcr-2015-210856

In the absence of obvious trauma, diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) of the thigh can easily be delayed, as disproportional pain is not always present. We present a case of ACS of the anterior right thigh compartment in a healthy, semiprof... Read More about Acute compartment syndrome of the thigh in a rugby player.

Dissecting the contribution of knee joint NGF to spinal nociceptive sensitization in a model of OA pain in the rat (2015)
Journal Article
Sagar, D. R., Nwosu, L. N., Walsh, D. A., & Chapman, V. (2015). Dissecting the contribution of knee joint NGF to spinal nociceptive sensitization in a model of OA pain in the rat. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 23(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2015.01.010

Objective: Although analgesic approaches targeting nerve growth factor (NGF) for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) pain remain of clinical interest, neurophysiological mechanisms by which NGF contribute to OA pain remain unclear. We investigated t... Read More about Dissecting the contribution of knee joint NGF to spinal nociceptive sensitization in a model of OA pain in the rat.

Epidemiology and management of gout in Taiwan: a nationwide population study (2015)
Journal Article
Kuo, C., Grainge, M. J., See, L., Yu, K., Luo, S., Zhang, W., & Doherty, M. (in press). Epidemiology and management of gout in Taiwan: a nationwide population study. Arthritis Research and Therapy, 17(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-015-0522-8

INTRODUCTION: Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis worldwide and is the only type of chronic arthritis that potentially can be ‘cured’. However, data on gout incidence, prevalence and management, assessed at multiple time points in the same...

A cross-sectional study of pain sensitivity, disease-activity assessment, mental health, and fibromyalgia status in rheumatoid arthritis (2015)
Journal Article
Joharatnam, N., McWilliams, D. F., Wilson, D., Wheeler, M., Pande, I., & Walsh, D. A. (2015). A cross-sectional study of pain sensitivity, disease-activity assessment, mental health, and fibromyalgia status in rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis Research and Therapy, 17(11), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-015-0525-5

INTRODUCTION: Pain remains the most important problem for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Active inflammatory disease contributes to pain, but pain due to non-inflammatory mechanisms can confound the assessment of disease activity. We hypothes...

The Harmonizing Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) roadmap: a methodological framework to develop core sets of outcome measurements in dermatology (2015)
Journal Article
Schmitt, J., Apfelbacher, C., Spuls, P. I., Thomas, K. S., Simpson, E. L., Furue, M., …Williams, H. C. (2015). The Harmonizing Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) roadmap: a methodological framework to develop core sets of outcome measurements in dermatology. Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 135(1), 24-30. https://doi.org/10.1038/jid.2014.320

Core outcome sets (COSs) are consensus-derived minimum sets of outcomes to be assessed in a specific situation. COSs are being increasingly developed to limit outcome-reporting bias, allow comparisons across trials, and strengthen clinical decision m...
