Dartmouth Scholarship
In Sjögren's syndrome, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye) is associated with infiltration of lacrimal glands by leukocytes and consequent losses of tear-fluid production and the integrity of the ocular surface. We investigated the effect of blockade of the lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTBR) pathway on lacrimal-gland pathology in the NOD mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: The origin of the mesenchymal cells responsible for the intimal fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) has not been fully identified. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether subendothelial mesenchymal cells may emerge through transdifferentiation of endothelial cells (ECs) into myofibroblasts via endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) in vitro and to explore the signaling pathways involved in this process.
METHODS: Primary mouse pulmonary ECs isolated by immunomagnetic methods with sequential anti-CD34 and anti-CD102 antibody selection were cultured in monolayers. Cell morphology and diacetylated low-density lipoprotein uptake assays confirmed their EC characteristics. The induction of EndoMT was assessed by determination of α-smooth …
Predictors Of The Use Of Physical Therapy Services Among Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Maura D. Iversen, Ritu K. Chhabriya, Nancy Shadick
Predictors Of The Use Of Physical Therapy Services Among Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Maura D. Iversen, Ritu K. Chhabriya, Nancy Shadick

Background. Although physical therapy is a proven and recommended intervention for managing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), few studies have explored correlates of physical therapy service use among people with RA. Objective. The purposes of this study were: (1) to describe physical therapy use among people with RA and (2) to identify biopsychosocial factors associated with physical therapy use. It was expected that use of physical therapy services would be lower than previously reported, considering recent medical advancements, and that including contextual factors may lead to identification of new factors associated with physical therapy use. Design. This was a cohort study. Methods. …
Predictors Of Exercise Behavior In Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis 6 Months Following A Visit With Their Rheumatologist, Maura D. Iversen, Anne H. Fossel, Kelly Ayers, Allison Palmsten, Hai Wei Wang, Lawren H. Daltroy
Predictors Of Exercise Behavior In Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis 6 Months Following A Visit With Their Rheumatologist, Maura D. Iversen, Anne H. Fossel, Kelly Ayers, Allison Palmsten, Hai Wei Wang, Lawren H. Daltroy

Background and Purpose. When factors that influence exercise behavior are known, health care professionals can more likely design and modify patient education materials targeted to promote exercise behavior. This study aimed to identify predictors of exercise behavior in patients with rheumatoid arthritis 6 months after a visit with their rheumatologist.
Subjects and Methods. Twenty-five rheumatologists and 132 patients with rheumatoid arthritis participated. One hundred thirteen patients (85.6%) completed the 6-month follow-up. Rheumatologists and patients completed baseline questionnaires and were audiotaped during a subsequent visit. Physical function and exercise behavior were ascertained via questionnaire 6 months following the visit. Multivariate logistic …
Is Actemra (Tocilizumab) In Combination With Methotrexate An Effective Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis In Patients Who Had An Inadequate Response To Methotrexate Alone?, Jennifer Nagle
PCOM Physician Assistant Studies Student Scholarship
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review is to determine whether or not Actemra (tocilizumab) in combination with methotrexate is an effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in patients who had an inadequate response to methotrexate alone. Previous studies have shown other biologic agents and disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to have some efficacy in treating rheumatoid arthritis. However, tocilizumab is a newly approved FDA drug and therefore, its efficacy in treating RA has yet to be determined.
