New self-management program offers significant benefits for arthritis patients with chronic pain
A new two week programme significantly reduces healthcare visits, pain scores and health distress in arthritis patients with chronic pain. Results were comparable to existing six week self-management programmes and the benefits of the programme were sustained for six months with improvements... view more (2008-06-13)

Mayo study examines link between rheumatoid arthritis and chronic lung diseases
For decades, researchers have suspected a connection between chronic lung diseases and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Previous research has yielded widely varying estimates about the strength of this connection, partly because studies have used different diagnosis criteria for these diseases.   view more (2006-11-17)

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)

Green tea compound may be a therapy for people with rheumatoid arthritis
A new study from the University of Michigan Health System suggests that a compound in green tea may provide therapeutic benefits to people with rheumatoid arthritis.   view more (2007-04-30)

Gender differences in experience of rheumatism
Rheumatoid arthritis is often a more painful experience for women than it is for men, even though the visible symptoms are the same.   view more (2008-09-15)

Rheumatic disease increases risks in pregnancy, Stanford study finds
The first nationwide study of pregnancy outcomes in women with rheumatic disease confirms that they experience greater pregnancy risks and longer hospital stays than the average pregnant woman.   view more (2005-11-15)

Researchers call for holistic approach in treating rheumatoid arthritis
Researchers have today called for a holistic approach in the management and treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in order to reduce mortality and improve patient outcome. The call for action coincides with the start of EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of the European League... view more (2001-06-12)

Safety claims of new arthritis drugs may be misleading
Popular arthritis drugs, known as selective COX 2 inhibitors, may not be superior to traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, conclude researchers in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2002-05-28)

Synthetic protein eases arthritis symptoms in mice
A lab-made version of a human protein alleviates symptoms of both acute and chronic arthritis in mice and could be the basis for a new arthritis drug for people, report scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).   view more (2005-10-04)

Combination drug therapy could substantially improve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (pp 670, 675)
The combination of two drugs - both partly effective for rheumatoid arthritis patients when given individually - could be an important development in substantially reducing symptoms and joint destruction for people with rheumatoid arthritis, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE... view more (2004-02-25)

Early life infections increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Infections during the first year of life are a marker of increased risk of developing specific types of arthritis later in life.   view more (2008-06-16)

Deficiencies In Healthcare Provision Exposed
Serious deficiencies in the healthcare provision for people with arthritis / rheumatism were exposed today in the results of a new European survey.    More than 100 million people in Europe are affected by arthritis / rheumatism, making it Europe's most widespread chronic... view more (2004-06-11)

Heavy birthweight increases risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis
People who have a birthweight over 10 pounds are twice as likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis when they are adults compared to individuals born with an average birthweight.   view more (2008-06-30)

New long-term data suggests Abatacept treatment
New data from the long-term extension of the AIM (Abatacept in Inadequate responders to Methotrexte) trial, announced today at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, suggests the selective T-cell co-stimulation modulator abatacept sustains inhibition of radiographic progression over 2 years... view more (2006-06-22)

Scientists Exploring Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis Make Unexpected Discovery That One Day May Lead to New Treatments
What makes joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis, and related conditions like Lyme disease or lupus, so susceptible to attack by the body's immune system, leading to painful flare-ups and deterioration? The answer may surprise you.   view more (2006-02-16)

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)

Rheumatoid arthritis drug linked to serious infections and cancers
A new meta-analysis of many previous studies of TNF- (tumor necrosis factor) blocking antibodies for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis has confirmed a previously discovered increased risk for serious infection and has found that cancer also is a potential risk associated with the drugs.   view more (2006-05-17)

Grandma was right - cod liver oil is good for you!
In inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, the presence of unusual fatty acids, Omega or n-3 fatty acids, (that are uniquely present in fish oils but not other oils common in the diet) in the cartilage cells reduces the activity of specific enzymes (Proteolytic or aggrecanase enzymes) that are... view more (2000-01-12)

Scientists discover how gold eases pain of arthritis
Scientists at Duke University Medical Center may have solved the mystery surrounding the healing properties of gold - a discovery they say may renew interest in gold salts as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.   view more (2007-10-23)

MRC Scientists Unlock One of the Secrets of Inflammation Offering Hope of New Treatments for Arthritis, Asthma and Cancer
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists, working with colleagues at the University of Oxford, have unravelled the structure and function of a common protein molecule at the heart of the process of inflammation. The discovery, published today (February 27 2004) in Molecular Cell, provides an... view more (2004-02-25)

Green tea compound suppresses factors causing cartilage, bone destruction in arthritis
In rheumatoid arthritis, a person's own immune system attacks the joints by activating the synovial tissue that lines the body's movable joints, causing inflammation, swelling, pain and eventually erosion of the bone and cartilage and deformation of the joint.   view more (2007-04-30)

Detecting bone erosion in arthritic wrists
Both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are more sensitive than radiography - the standard imaging technique - for detecting bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).   view more (2008-02-28)
