Molecule discovered to be key to pain sensitivity
Sensitivity to pain and the risk of developing chronic pain appear to be influenced by levels of a molecule known to be required for the production of major neurotransmitters.   view more (2006-10-23)

Arthritis self-management does not reduce pain levels or GP visits
Self-management programmes for people with osteoarthritis do not reduce pain, or the number of visits patients make to their GP, a new study reveals today.   view more (2006-10-16)

Scientists Show Drug Can Counteract Muscular Dystrophy in Mice
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) and other institutions have demonstrated for the first time that a single drug can rebuild damaged muscle in two strains of mice that develop diseases comparable to two human forms of muscular dystrophy.   view more (2006-10-05)

Osteoarthritis may be sign of faster 'biological ageing'
Osteoarthritis, the degenerative inflammatory bone disease, may be a sign of faster "biological ageing," suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.   view more (2006-10-02)

Monoclonal antibody reduces exacerbations in asthmatics
Patients with symptomatic moderate asthma who were treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha, an anti-inflammatory monoclonal antibody, experienced significantly fewer disease exacerbations than individuals taking a placebo.   view more (2006-10-02)

Cardiff University researchers have increased the understanding of why some painkillers increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.   view more (2006-09-13)

Stubborn ulcerative colitis responds to arthritis drug, review finds
In good news for patients with stubborn cases of ulcerative colitis, a serious intestinal disorder, a new research review suggests that the drug infliximab can be a useful alternative if other treatments don't work.   view more (2006-09-12)

Researchers create mouse lacking key inflammation gene
In a paper published yesterday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), researchers from Boston University School of Dental Medicine generated a mouse model exhibiting reduced inflammation.   view more (2006-09-07)

Key study offers hope to patients with lung and joint disease
People who suffer from inflammatory conditions such as chronic diseases of the lung, joints and other organs could benefit from a new discovery by scientists at the University of Edinburgh.   view more (2006-09-05)

The mind-body connection: how CNS regulates arthritis
In a unique approach to inflammation research, a study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine shows that, in a model of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation in the joints can be sensed and modulated by the central nervous system (CNS).   view more (2006-09-05)

A new approach to rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis drugs work better, at least in arthritic rats, when delivered into the central nervous system, Gary Firestein and colleagues (University of California San Diego) now report in the international open-access medical journal PLoS Medicine.   view more (2006-09-05)

Bipolar disorder exacts twice depression's toll in workplace
Bipolar disorder costs twice as much in lost productivity as major depressive disorder, a study funded by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has found.   view more (2006-09-01)

Pest control research leads to pain control discovery
A newly discovered enzyme inhibitor, identified by researchers originally looking for biological pest controls, may lead to pain relief for sufferers of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.   view more (2006-08-29)

Cooling analgesia harnessed to relieve chronic pain
By experimentally activating a special protein involved in mediating sensations of coolness, researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how the body's nervous system can be stimulated to relieve chronic pain.   view more (2006-08-22)

'Mint' pain killer takes leaf out of ancient medical texts
A new synthetic treatment inspired by ancient Greek and Chinese remedies could offer pain relief to millions of patients with arthritis and nerve damage, a new University of Edinburgh study suggests.   view more (2006-08-22)

Research Reveals Inner Workings of Immune System "Thermostat"
When bacteria, viruses or parasites attack, immune system cells unleash the soldiers. These "hot" protein compounds kill invaders - but also trigger inflammation, which, if unchecked, can destroy tissue, induce shock and kill the host.   view more (2006-08-21)

Arthritis Drug Helps Debilitating Inflammatory Disease
For children and young adults who suffer from a rare and debilitating disorder called neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), a drug called anakinra brings marked improvement both in symptoms and the inflammation underlying the disease, a new study shows.   view more (2006-08-11)

Finding paves way for better treatment of autoimmune disease
A signaling molecule with an affinity for alcohol has yielded a rapid, inexpensive way to make large numbers of immune cells that work like beat cops to keep misguided cells from attacking the body.   view more (2006-08-10)

Researchers reveal how long-term use of anti-inflammatory medication can cause osteoporosis
The steroid hormones glucocorticoids (GCs) are used at high doses to treat inflammatory and immune disorders, however they prompt bone loss and can cause osteoporosis, particularly when administered for prolonged periods.   view more (2006-07-28)

NICE gives backing for the use of advanced biological therapies to treat severe psoriasis
The UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has today issued guidance for the use of the targeted biological therapies, Enbrel® (etanercept) and Raptiva® (efalizumab), to treat adult patients with severe plaque psoriasis.   view more (2006-07-27)

How can identical twins be genetically different?
They sleep together, eat together, and most people find it impossible to tell them apart. Identical twins who grow up together share just about everything, including their genes. But sometimes only one twin will have health problems when genetics predicts both of them should.   view more (2006-07-26)

Matrilin-3 gene discovered to prevent onset of osteoarthritis
A gene that is associated with osteoarthritis and skeletal deformities in people has been shown to be responsible for preventing the onset of osteoarthritis in adult mice.   view more (2006-07-24)
