Genes are of little importance in rheumatoid arthritis
Genes are of little importance in the development of rheumatoid arthritis, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-30)
Methotrexate treatment for rheumatoid arthritis effective the second time
A second course of methotrexate, the most commonly used drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis, is effective in nearly half of studied patients for whom a previous treatment with the drug was ineffective. view more (2006-02-24)
Women who breastfeed for more than a year halve their risk of rheumatoid arthritis
Women who breast feed for longer have a smaller chance of getting rheumatoid arthritis, suggests a study published online ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2008-05-13)
Inflammatory bowel disease is a risk factor for thrombosis
People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more than three times as likely to develop blood clots in their veins (venous thromboembolism), finds new research in Gut. Thromboembolism is a serious and potentially life threatening event. For many years, patients with IBD were thought to be at increased risk, but the evidence has been... view more... (2004-03-09)

Coffee may be linked to rheumatoid arthritis
Coffee drinkers seem to be at increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, suggests research in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. The association between coffee drinking and the presence of a hallmark indicator for the development of rheumatoid arthritis?rheumatoid factor?was studied in a cross sectional survey of almost 7,000 people,... view more...

Birth weight may be linked to arthritis in later life
The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, but researchers in this week’s BMJ suggest that some factors relating to the period shortly before and after birth (perinatal factors) may be implicated in the development of the disease in later life. view more (2003-05-14)
A possible new phase for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
The pathology of rheumatoid arthritis within the first few months after symptom onset is distinct from that of the early phases of other inflammatory joint diseases and also of established rheumatoid arthritis. New research published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy found that very early rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by a distinct... view more... (2005-04-05)
Geisinger research: Antimalarial drug prevents diabetes in arthritis patients
The use of an antimalarial medication may prevent the onset of diabetes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, new Geisinger research shows. view more (2008-10-29)
Early signs that statins could help in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (pp 2011, 2015)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of statins (a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs) could be effective in relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. The inflammatory nature of rheumatoid arthritis puts sufferers at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.... view more... (2004-06-16)
Heavy smokers at increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis
Heavy smokers are at increased risk of developing the painful joint disease rheumatoid arthritis, finds a study in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases. The research also shows that a family history of the disease, a known risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis, was less common among heavy smokers. The study team analysed the smoking habits of 239... view more... (2001-02-10)
Antibodies reveal rheumatoid arthritis before it breaks out
Now patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be diagnosed considerably earlier, thereby increasing their chances of being treated successfully. This is a consequence of new findings by Professor Solbritt Rantap'¤'¤-Dahlqvist's research team at the Unit for Rheumology, Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine, Ume'å University in... view more...

Regular tipple may curb risk of rheumatoid arthritis
Alcohol cuts the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis by up to 50%, reveals research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2008-06-05)
Mayo Clinic study predicts cardiovascular disease risk for rheumatoid arthritis patients
People with rheumatoid arthritis have a higher risk for developing heart disease than the general population; however, it is difficult to identify which patients are at increased risk. view more (2007-11-08)
Unfavourable blood fat levels predict rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later
An unfavourable ratio of blood fats could herald the development of the inflammatory joint disease rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2006-06-05)
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)
High exposure to motor oil increases chances of developing arthritis
Occupational exposure to mineral oils, in particular hydraulic or motor oil, increases the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis by 30%. These are the results of a study published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy. view more (2005-09-23)
Researchers pinpoint enzyme involved in arthritis onset
Researchers from Cardiff University have uncovered a molecular pathway that plays a pivotal role in the onset of arthritis. Their research, published this week in Arthritis Research & Therapy, could aid in the discovery of novel targets for arthritis drugs. The researchers found that inhibiting the enzyme PKR could prevent two processes... view more... (2003-11-06)
