Esophageal baseline impedance levels allow the identification of esophageal involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis
Distal esophageal baseline impedance (BI) levels reflect the esophageal mucosal integrity in reflux disease. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) could potentially affect the integrity of esophageal mucosa and consequently impair distal and proximal BI levels, but data in this regard are lacking.

Effect of complete or partial proteinuria recovery on long-term outcomes of lupus nephritis
We aimed to evaluate the effect of complete recovery (CR), partial recovery (PR), and no recovery (NR) of proteinuria at 2 years from the diagnosis of LN on long-term renal and extra-renal outcomes. (Source: Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism)

Influence of obesity, age, and comorbidities on the multi-biomarker disease activity test in rheumatoid arthritis
Traditional markers of inflammation are often required for inclusion in rheumatoid arthritis trials, yet patients with active disease may have normal lab tests. The potential use of the multi-biomarker disease activity(MBDA) test in this setting is unclear, as is understanding of whether it is influenced by patient characteristics (e.g. age,BMI,comorbidities).
