By combining web mining (i.e., web scraping) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques, as well as clinical expertise, <em>RheumaL-pack</em> systematically captures and curates data across a spectrum of web sources including clinical trials registers (i.e., ClinicalTrials.gov), bibliographic databases (i.e., PubMed), medical agencies (i.e. EMA), social media (i.e., Reddit), and accredited health websites (i.e., MedlinePlus, Hardvard Health Publishing, and Cleveland Clinic). Given the complexity of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) and their significant impact on quality of life, this resource can be proposed as a useful tool to train algorithms that could mitigate the diseases’ effects. Therefore, the corpus aims to improve the training of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and facilitate knowledge discovery in RMDs. The development of <em>RheumaLpack</em> involved a systematic six-step methodology covering data identification, characterisation, selection, collection, processing, and corpus description. The result is a non-annotated, monolingual, and dynamic corpus, featuring almost 3 million records spanning from 2000 to 2023. <em>RheumaLpack</em> represents a pioneering contribution to rheumatology research, providing a useful resource for the development of advanced AI and NLP applications. This corpus highlights the value of web data to address the challenges posed by musculoskeletal diseases, illustrating the corpus’s potential to improve research and treatment paradigms in rheumatology. Finally, the methodology shown can be replicated to obtain data from other medical specialities. The code and details on how to build <em>RheumaL(inguistic)pack</em> are also provided to facilitate the dissemination of such resource.","PeriodicalId":501212,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Rheumatology","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140830950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improved patient outcomes, pressing the need for reliable biomarkers. In this study, we aimed to identify miRNA candidates as potential biomarkers for Fabry disease using the KingFisher™ automated isolation method and NanoString nCounter® miRNA detection assay. Clinical serum samples were collected from both healthy subjects and Fabry disease patients. RNA extraction from the samples was performed using the KingFisher™ automated isolation method with the MagMAX mirVanaTM kit or manually using the Qiagen miRNeasy kit. The subsequent NanoString nCounter® miRNA detection assay showed consistent performance and no correlation between RNA input concentration and raw count, ensuring reliable and reproducible results. Interestingly, the detection range and highly differential miRNA between the control and disease groups were found to be distinct depending on the isolation method employed. Nevertheless, enrichment analysis of miRNA-targeting genes consistently revealed significant associations with angiogenesis pathways in both isolation methods. Additionally, our investigation into the impact of enzyme replacement therapy on miRNA expression indicated that some differential miRNAs may be sensitive to treatment. Our study provides valuable insights to identify miRNA biomarkers for Fabry disease. While different isolation methods yielded various detection ranges and highly differential miRNAs, the consistent association with angiogenesis pathways suggests their significance in disease progression. These findings lay the groundwork for further investigations and validation studies, ultimately leading to the development of non-invasive and reliable biomarkers to aid in early diagnosis and treatment monitoring for Fabry disease.","PeriodicalId":501212,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Rheumatology","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140302643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although there is evidence supporting suboptimal decision-making in lupus and its association with glucocorticoids consumption, it is not clear what variables impact such decisions. The aim of this study is to explore how social, clinical, psychological, and demographic factors impact social and temporal decision-making in people with lupus. Through a within-subjects experimental-design, our participants responded to social, clinical, psychological, and demographic electronic questionnaires. Then, they participated in two behavioral economics experiments: the third-party dictator game, and the delay discounting task. Our results show that hostility, and age are essential predictors of social decisions, whereas obsessive-compulsiveness and anxiety better predict temporal decisions. These variables behave as expected, but anxiety shows unexpected results: most anxious people act patiently and prefer delayed but bigger rewards. Finally, clinical factors are critical decision predictors for social and temporal decisions. When people are in remission, they tend to impose higher punishment on those who violate the social norm, and they also tend to prefer immediate rewards. When taking glucocorticoids, they also prefer immediate rewards, and as the dosage of glucocorticoids intake increases, they tend to impose higher punishment on norm violators. Clinicians, researchers, and practitioners must consider the side effects of glucocorticoids on decision-making.","PeriodicalId":501212,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Rheumatology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140302917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this integrative single-case study on a patient with RA, we had the unique opportunity to closely monitor the individual dynamics of endocrine, immune and disease variables during a naturally occurring flare-up and subsequent medication change. The female RA patient collected her entire urine over 30 days in 12-h intervals (60 consecutive measurements in total). Subsequently, interleukin-6 (IL-6), orosomucoid-2, cortisol (ELISA), neopterin and creatinine (HPLC) levels were determined in the urine samples. Further, each morning and evening, the patient completed the DIARI, a set of questionnaires on variables such as subjective pain, subjective RA disease activity and emotional states. Once a week, besides an online video interview, the patient had an appointment at her rheumatologist, in which several indices of RA disease activity were determined: SDAI, CDAI and DAS28. From these data various time series were constructed for statistical analysis. RA disease state increased from low to high activity during the first 12 study days. Thereupon, the medication was changed, which proved effective in reducing RA disease activity. However, the levels of urinary neopterin, urinary orosomucoid-2 and urinary IL-6 did not show any response, neither to the increasing disease activity nor the medication change. The patient's daily reports on pain, RA disease activity and emotional states, however, mirrored the course of the rheumatologic indices. For the patient studied, urinary neopterin, urinary orosomucoid-2 and urinary IL-6 levels did not represent adequate biomarkers of short-term variations in RA disease activity.

Clinical data, disease activity measurements and current treatment regarding IMRD, and COVID-19 outcomes were evaluated in all patients. Disease activity was assessed through validated tools at inclusion and at 3 and 6 months post-COVID-19. The FACIT-F (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy) and DASS 21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 Items) questionnaires were also applied at 6 months after COVID-19 in both groups before large-scale vaccination. The significance level was set as p&lt;0.05, with a 95% confidence interval.\u0000Results: A total of 601 patients were evaluated, being 321 cases (IMRD COVID-19+) and 280 controls (IMRD COVID-19 -), predominantly female with similar median age. No significant differences were noted in demographic data between the groups, including comorbidities, disease duration, and IMRD. Disease activity assessment over a 6-month follow-up showed no significant difference between cases and controls. While mean activity scores did not differ significantly, some patients reported worsened disease activity post-COVID-19, particularly in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (32.2%) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (23.3%). Post-COVID-19 worsening in RA patients correlated with medical global assessment (MGA) and CDAI scores, with a moderate to large effect size. Diabetes mellitus showed a positive association (OR=7.15), while TNF inhibitors showed a protective effect (OR=0.51). Comparing SLEDAI pre- and post-COVID-19, a minority showed increased scores, with few requiring treatment changes. Fatigue, depression, anxiety, and stress were significantly higher in cases compared to controls. Worsening disease activity post-COVID correlated with worsened FACIT-F and DASS-21 stress scale in RA patients.
