2013 ACR/EULAR systemic sclerosis classification criteria in patients with associated pulmonary arterial hypertension
To analyze the performance of the 1980 ACR and new 2013 ACR/EULAR criteria for systemic sclerosis (SSc) in cutaneous SSc (lcSSc) patients, especially those affected by lcSSc and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). (Source: Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism)

Vitamin D and antiphospholipid syndrome: A retrospective cohort study and meta-analysis
(a) To determine serum 25-OH vitamin D (vitD) levels in primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and to compare them with patients with positive antiphospholipid serology who do not meet clinical criteria for APS, and with healthy controls. (b) To analyze the association of vitD levels with both the clinical manifestations and the immunological profile of patients with primary APS. (c) To perform a meta-analysis evaluating potential differences in serum vitD levels between APS and controls as well as the frequency of vitD deficiency in APS patients.

Relationship of knee pain to time in moderate and light physical activities: Data from Osteoarthritis Initiative
While OA literature indicates greater pain is related to less time being physically active, it is not known if time curtailment occurs primarily for moderate intensity activities or for light activities or in both. We examine the cross-sectional association of knee pain with physical activity using data from 1874 Osteoarthritis Initiative participants. (Source: Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism)
