Persistent disability and risks of death were associated with inflammatory levels in patients following major abdominal surgery.

Patients with IBD-RA and depression were younger, more likely to be female, and were more frequently White compared with controls.

In a longitudinal case study, researchers found that higher inflammation levels may predict poor outcomes following bariatric surgery.

Through a series of regression analyses, researchers projected the ever-increasing global burden of osteoarthritis (OA) until 2050.

Researchers analyzed numerous biomarkers in patients at risk for inflammatory arthritis to develop measurable scores indicating a patient's vulnerability to disease progression.

New research suggests that measuring the inflammatory marker myeloperoxidase (MPO) may be an effective strategy for the prediction of patients' risk of mortality in a myriad of cardiac—and potentially non-cardiac—diseases.

With data on side-opening cutting forceps showing above a 90% diagnostic rate for tissue biopsy in adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) who undergo biopsy of the esophageal lamina propia (ELP), investigators conducted a pilot study on use of side-opening cutting forceps in younger patients.
