Gout

Researchers examined the genetic variants associated with the transition from hyperuricemia to gout.

Researchers studied subclinical inflammation in intercritical gout and its association with the size of monosodium urate crystal deposition and cardiovascular risk factors.

Researchers studied metabolic alterations and dysregulated metabolic pathways in hyperuricemia and gout, and discovered potential metabolite biomarkers to differentiate between gout and asymptomatic hyperuricemia.

Researchers tested the hypothesis that the association of traits representing hyperuricemia and its comorbidities is genetically based.

Researchers evaluated the effect of mycophenolate mofetil on the efficacy of pegloticase in patients with refractory gout.

Study authors examined the accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography vs ultrasound, or their combination, for the diagnosis of gout.

Researchers assessed the clinical feasibility, efficacy, and cost economics of combination therapy with arthroscopic debridement and drug treatment in ankle acute gout arthritis.
