Reflecting developments in epidemiological research, data from LASA are increasingly being used for integrative studies, such as meta-analyses and international collaborations. In the past years, various meta-analyses have been performed including LASA data on mortality, physical functioning and biomarkers (e.g., [12 (link)–19 (link)]). We also participate in the Integrative Analysis of Longitudinal Studies on Aging (IALSA) [20 (link), 21 (link)], which has the aim to evaluate the reproducibility of results from longitudinal and life course studies, predominantly in the domains of cognitive and emotional functioning.
Arthralgia
It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and injuries.
Arthralgia can affect any joint in the body, such as the knees, hips, ankles, and fingers.
Symptoms may include stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion.
Prper diagnosis and treatment are important to manage arthralgia and improve quality of life.

Four hundred and fifteen patients were followed up bi-weekly for 12 weeks after initiating oral AEDs. The initial dosage of PHT, LTG, CBZ, and valproate (VPA) was 200, 500, 12.5, 100 mg/d, and 5 mg/kg/d, respectively. They were examined for symptoms and signs of cADRs in an epileptic clinic every 2 weeks. AEDs tolerance was defined as patients who were able to tolerate AEDs without cADRs manifestation. If cADRs manifested, the AEDs were discontinued immediately and a dermatologist was consulted to diagnose and treat the patients (
Two attending or one chief physician from the Department of Dermatology examined the patients. The criteria for the diagnosis and classification of cADRs were as follows: ① MPE: a rash, not involving the mucosa, no organ or system damage, and resolved after 1–2 weeks; ② HSS: in addition to skin rash, numerous viscera involvement with systemic manifestations, such as fever, arthralgia, eosinophilia, and lymphadenopathy; ③ SJS: the occurrence of skin exfoliation, involving a range of no <10% of the body area, with or without other organ or system damage; ④ TEN: the presence of skin exfoliation, involving more than 30% of the body area, with or without other organ or system damage; and ⑤ SJS/TEN: the presence of skin exfoliation, involving a range of 10–30% of the total body area. The patients were treated for skin damage based on the severity as determined by a dermatologist after cADRs diagnosis was confirmed. These patients were assigned to the AEDs-cADRs group.
Nested case-control design is the most common way to reduce the costs of exposure assessment in prospective epidemiological studies. They can also reduce the sample size through matching (10 (link)). In this study, 15 patients with epilepsy who developed cADRs were defined as the AEDs-cADRs group. For each patient with AEDs-cADRs, two patients with AEDs tolerance were selected and matched by AEDs, gender, age (±3 years), and ethnicity.

Example 2
A 30 year-old female subject with muscle pain in the left leg and joint pain in near the left ankle—is positioned in a 360-degree full body light therapy device. The 360-degree light therapy device is configured as follows: (a) a first type of light emitting diode (LED) emits a wavelength of 550 nm, (b) a second type of LED emits a wavelength of 750 nm, (c) a third type of LED emits a wavelength of about 850 nm, and (d) a fourth type of LED emits a wavelength of about 900 nm.
The light therapy device has: 11520 first LED types (about 25.6% of the total LEDs), 5760 second LED types (about 12.8% of the total LEDs), 21960 third LED types (about 48.8% of the total LEDs), and 11520 fourth LED types (about 25.6% of the total LEDs). The LEDs emit with a power density of about 80 mW/cm2. The LEDs emit power at about 50 Joules/cm2 in a time period of about 10 minutes. The light therapy device is configured to pulse at a rate of about 10 hertz with an 85% duty cycle.
The subject undergoes a 30-minute session of irradiation twice a month for 3 straight months. After the 3 months of treatment, the subject's muscle pain in the left leg mitigates by about 80%, and the subject's joint pain near the left ankle reduces by about 50%.
One hundred forty-five participants with acute dengue and up to 7 days of symptoms were selected for the current cross-sectional analysis from a total study population of 1566 cases of suspected arboviral illness. Cases were classified according to the 2009 WHO criteria as dengue without warning signs (DWS-), dengue with warning signs (DWS+) and severe dengue (SD) [3 ]. Cases were classified during the initial visit, and the final classification used for this study was upgraded if the case evolved over time to a more severe category following presentation. For categorization as DWS+, it was necessary to have at least one warning sign. For categorization as SD, an individual had to develop at least one criterion for SD during the clinical course. To maximize study power, all SD cases in the parent study were included in this analysis. A mixture of DWS- and DWS+ cases was then selected to achieve a representative distribution of participants based on age, days of symptoms, comorbidities, and gender from across the study period and to maintain an even distribution of these two categories. The number of included cases was limited by sample volume and availability of demographic and clinical data.
Suspected cases of
Blood cultures were taken from all suspected cases (n=88). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was extracted by lumbar puncture for patients showing symptoms of meningitis (n=3). Cases were confirmed following positive blood and/or CSF cultures. Presumptive identification of
Pso is classified according to the pattern of distribution (inverse, flexor, and seborrheic), morphology (plaque, guttat, erythrodermic, pustular, rupioid, and elephantine) and anatomic site (scalp, palmoplantar, genital, nail and, anal Pso) [9 (link)]. A pediatric dermatologist examined all patients and recorded their age at disease onset, Pso subtype, presence of nail involvement, and previous medications prescribed for cutaneous or nail Pso. Furthermore, all of them were questioned for the presence of arthralgia, arthritis, morning stiffness, hip pain, lower back pain, and heel pain in dermatology outpatient clinic. Special standardized evaluation forms were used (
Healthy controls (HCs) were the volunteers that visited pediatric outpatient clinics for either vaccination or general control. All of them were evaluated by the same questionnaire in pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic (
At pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic, patients with Pso and healthy individuals were initially examined by two pediatric rheumatologists (HES and SGK) and two fellows (AT and FC). Demographic data, including age, sex, weight, height, family history, and comorbidities were also recorded. Subsequently, all patients and HCs were subjected to articular and entheseal examination. Modified Schober’s test was performed to all patients and HCs for the evaluation of range of motion of lumbar spine. Measurements of <6 cm were regarded as abnormal. Finally, entheseal thickness of the Achilles tendon was measured by ultrasonography (US). The US examinations were performed in a darkened room by an expert pediatric rheumatologist (NAA), using an US (Venue 40, GE Healthcare) equipped with a broadband 6–18 MHz linear probe. The rheumatologist who performed US was blinded to the patients’ diagnoses, questionnaire responses and physical examinations, as well. The thickness of the Achilles tendon was measured at longitudinal section with the probe parallel to the tendon’s alignment, near to its insertion onto the calcaneus.
The study was reviewed and approved by the Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital Clinical Research Ethics Committee (Ethics approval number: KAEK/2018.6.13) and the parents/patients gave a written consent approving to be a participant of this study.
