Early treatment of systemic onset JIA with anakinra restores the IL-18 response
First line treatment with anakinra (an interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist), results in a 'good' clinical response (ACRp90) in patients newly diagnosed with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA), and restores the deficient IL-18 response of natural killer (NK) cells. view more (2009-06-15)
New treatment strategy offers hope to RA patients who failed all other therapies
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who failed to respond to initial treatment with rituximab (RTX) (a chimeric monoclonal antibody against the protein CD20) can still be successfully re-treated with a second course of RTX after six months. view more (2009-06-12)
Diagnosis of arthritis 5 years earlier in childless women compared to those with children
Nulliparous women (those who have not given birth to children) are diagnosed with chronic arthritides (including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) an average of 5.2 years before parous women (those who have given birth to children). view more (2009-06-12)
Winter- and spring-onset RA patients have worse 6 month outcomes than those with summer onset
When a patient's first symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occur in winter, the severity of their RA (as measured by the modified Total Sharp Score, mTSS, an assessment of erosion and joint space narrowing) was rated more severe at six months, when compared to patients whose RA first became symptomatic in summer (Odds Ratio (OR) =2.82 [1.14;7],... view more...

3 studies confirm the value of etanercept therapy in treating juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Three new studies have individually shown the anti-TNF (tumour necrosis factor) therapy etanercept to be effective, with a good safety profile, in children under four years of age with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). view more (2009-06-12)
Mouse experiments shed light on age effects in arthritis
Older mice are more susceptible to proteoglycan-induced arthritis (PGIA). Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Immunity & Ageing have shown, for the first time, that young mice are completely resistant, but become fully susceptible to the disease with age. view more (2009-06-11)
Genetic pathway responsible for link between body clock disturbance and worsening arthritis
The genes that regulate human circadian rhythm, or 'the body clock', are significantly disturbed in individuals with arthritis. view more (2009-06-11)
Exercise improves functional and psycological ability and reduces steroid need in rheumatoid arthritis
Undertaking a supervised exercise programme can have beneficial effects on functional status and physical function, reduce the need for daily corticosteroid and anti-inflammatory intake and improve levels of depression and anxiety in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). view more (2009-06-11)
Subclinical markers predict relapse in juvenile idiopathic arthritis post methotrexate withdrawal
Elevated levels of the inflammatory biomarkers Myeloid Related Protein (MRP) 8/14 predict an increased risk of relapse following withdrawal of methotrexate (MTX) therapy in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who have achieved inactive disease status. view more (2009-06-11)
Researchers identify new risk factor gene for rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with poor sleep in women
Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) negatively affect women's sleep. Sleep is further impaired by pain, depression and poor adherence to RA medications. view more (2009-06-10)
Scientists discover new genetic immune disorder in children

Newly discovered reactions from an old drug may lead to new antibiotics
A mineral found at health food stores could be the key to developing a new line of antibiotics for bacteria that commonly cause diarrhea, tooth decay and, in some severe cases, death. view more (2009-06-02)
Treating gum disease helps rheumatoid arthritis sufferers
People, who suffer from gum disease and also have a severe form of rheumatoid arthritis, reduced their arthritic pain, number of swollen joints and the degree of morning stiffness when they cured their dental problems. view more (2009-05-29)
Arthritis drug might prove effective in fighting the flu, study suggests
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have found that an approved drug for treating rheumatoid arthritis reduces severe illness and death in mice exposed to the Influenza A virus. view more (2009-05-27)
Popular cancer drug linked to often fatal brain virus
The 57-year-old lawyer in New York had handily completed the New York Times' Saturday crossword puzzle - the hardest of the week - for years. But one Saturday morning, suddenly he couldn't retrieve the words to fill in the squares. view more (2009-05-19)

Women live longer, not better, largely because of obesity and arthritis
Obesity and arthritis that take root during early and middle age significantly contribute to women's decreased quality of life during their senior years, according to researchers at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2009-05-04)
Resolvins have the potential to resolve periodontal inflammation and restore tissue health
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic inflammation initiated by bacteria that affect the gums and bone supporting the teeth, and may eventually result in tissue and tooth loss. view more (2009-04-06)
