RA sensitivity when testing for anti- UH-RA.1 IgM was shown to be higher than when testing for the IgG isotype: 18Â % versus 9Â % sensitivity when RA specificity was set to 90Â %. Anti- UH-RA.1 antibodies were primarily of the IgM isotype and twice as prevalent as IgG (IgG3-dominated) and IgA. The IgG, IgM, and IgA classes, together with the 4 different IgG subclasses, were determined in 285 patients with RA, 88 rheumatic control subjects, and 90 healthy control subjects. The isotype profile of antibodies against UH-RA.1 and UH-RA.21 was studied. In addition, assigning the isotype profile might provide valuable information on effector functions of the antibodies. We aimed to investigate whether measurement of other isotypes could improve the performance of diagnostic testing. Previously, screening for anti- UH-RA autoantibodies was based on measuring the immunoglobulin (Ig) G response. Recently, autoantibodies against novel UH-RA peptides ( UH-RA.1 and UH-RA.21) were identified as candidate biomarkers for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are seronegative for the current diagnostic markers rheumatoid factor and anticitrullinated protein antibodies.


The isotype repertoire of antibodies against novel UH-RA peptides in rheumatoid arthritis.ĭe Winter, Liesbeth M Geusens, Piet Lenaerts, Jan Vanhoof, Johan Stinissen, Piet Somers, Veerle Examination of this unsteady pressure data provides new opportunities to understand differences between computation and flight measurement. In addition, a comparison of chordwise pressure distributions between computation and measurement is made. This paper examines the difference between the traditional integration of computed airloads and an integration consistent with that used for the experimental data. However, the corresponding integration of experimental data uses only the pressure contribution, and the set of integration points (pressure taps) is modest compared to the computational mesh resolution. Traditionally, the computed pressure and shear stresses are integrated on the computational mesh at selected radial stations and compared to measured airloads.

The results suggest that prolonged sitting in a UH-60 seat increases discomfort, potentially through a peripheral nervous or vascular system mechanism.
BERING WAVE BEHR SKIN
Across 4 h of restricted sitting, subjective discomfort increased using the Category Partitioning Scale (30.27 point increase) and McGill Pain Questionnaire (8.53 point increase) lower extremity sensory function was diminished along the S1 dermatome and skin temperature decreased on both the lateral (2.85Â☌ decrease) and anterior (2.78Â☌ decrease) aspects of the ankle. During the session, subjective discomfort, sensory function, and vascular function were measured.

There were 15 healthy men (age = 23.4 ± 3.1 yr) meeting physical flight status requirements who sat in an unpadded, UH-60 pilot's seat for 4 h while completing a common cognitive task. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of prolonged restricted sitting in a UH-60 on discomfort, sensory function, and vascular measures in the lower extremities. Discomfort created by the seat-system decreases situational awareness, putting aviators and support crew at risk of injury. Prolonged mission times have increased reports of pilot discomfort and symptoms of paresthesia thought to be due to UH-60 seat design and areas of locally high pressure.
