Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
Connective Tissue Cell Types01:22

Connective Tissue Cell Types

Connective tissue develops from the mesoderm of a developing embryo and consists of cells, fibers, and ground substance: a gel-like material containing large complexes of carbohydrates and proteins. Connective tissue was first identified as a separate tissue family in the 18th century, and Johannes Peter Muller coined the term connective tissue.
Fat cells (adipocytes), smooth muscle cells (myoblasts), and bone cells (osteoblasts) are some connective tissue cell types. Some immune system cells...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Inaccurate financial disclosures are common in rheumatology research articles. Many authors fail to fully report potential conflicts of interest (PCOIs), impacting reader assessment of study findings.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research Integrity
  • Academic Publishing Ethics
  • Rheumatology Research

Background:

  • Transparency in academic publishing is crucial for readers to identify potential conflicts of interest (PCOIs).
  • Previous studies on disclosure accuracy in rheumatology journals primarily examined clinical practice guidelines, not original research.
  • This study addresses the gap by evaluating PCOI reporting in clinically oriented research manuscripts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the discrepancy in reporting potential conflicts of interest (PCOIs) among authors of clinically oriented manuscripts.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of financial disclosures in top-ranked US-based general rheumatology journals.
  • To determine the prevalence of under- or non-disclosure of PCOIs in published rheumatology research.

  • A review of 50 clinically oriented articles from each of the three top-ranked US rheumatology journals was conducted.
  • Disclosures from first, second, and last authors were cross-referenced with the Open Payments Database (OPD).
  • A PCOI was defined as any payment from a relevant company within 36 months prior to online publication.

Main Results:

  • Out of 150 analyzed articles, 101 (67%) had authors with PCOIs.
  • Ninety-two of these 101 publications (92%) exhibited inaccurate (non- or under-) disclosures.
  • Among 135 authors with PCOIs, 118 (87%) reported inaccurately, including all authors of clinical trial results.

Conclusions:

  • Inaccurate financial disclosure is a significant issue in clinically oriented rheumatology research.
  • There is a need for improved community education and stricter expectations regarding author disclosures.
  • Enhanced transparency allows readers to better evaluate the potential impact of PCOIs on published research.
