Pre-treatment MRI can eliminate unnecessary diagnostic or surgical procedures for children with suspected musculoskeletal infections (septic arthritis and osteomyelitis) according to a study performed at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, TN. view more (2008-11-04)
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)
Could autoantibodies predict future disease in healthy people? (pp 1544)
A review article in this week's issue of THE LANCET discusses how autoantibody detection in the blood of healthy individuals could have potential as a marker for future autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus syndrome. Hal Scofield from the Oklahoma Research Foundation, USA, discusses recent evidence suggesting that... view more... (2004-05-05)
Polymorphism and antibodies associated with highly increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis
People who have a specific genetic variant of the PTPN22 gene and test positive for antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptide are much more at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis than people who only have one of these markers. view more (2005-12-22)
Tocilizumab study offers new hope for children with arthritis
A new study has confirmed significant improvements after treatment with tocilizumab amongst children with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), who do not tolerate or have an inadequate response to conventional therapies. view more (2006-06-23)
Better outcome for rheumatoid arthritis patients given intensive outpatient treatment (p 263)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that intensive monthly outpatient treatment with antirheumatic drugs and steroid injections can substantially improve patients' symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis compared with standard three-month outpatient treatment. Duncan Porter (Gartnavel General Hospital, Glasgow, UK) and... view more... (2004-07-14)
Drug for rheumatism possible boon to heart patients
Atheromatosis, which lies behind heart attacks, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems, has a major impact on public health. So does chronic rheumatoid arthritis. These two diseases are completely different from each other, but they do have one common denominator: inflammation. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now show that it might... view more...

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are 60% more likely to die and 30-50% more likely to suffer an acute blockage of the major blood vessels compared with individuals with no arthritis, US researchers said today.

Working environment is 1 cause of rheumatoid arthritis
It has long been known that environmental factors play a part in the development of rheumatoid arthritis; smoking and drinking alcohol, along with heredity, are particularly instrumental in increasing the risk of the disease. view more (2008-09-25)
Pediatric researchers find possible 'master switch' gene in juvenile arthritis
Researchers have found that a gene region known to play a role in some varieties of adult rheumatoid arthritis is also present in all types of childhood arthritis. The researchers say the responsible gene may be a "master switch" that helps turn on the debilitating disease. view more (2008-07-02)
Costs of treating arthritis on the rise nationwide, study finds
The amount Americans spent on arthritis medications more than doubled between 1998 and 2003, due to the fast-rising number of people with the disease, increases in the number of medications they take each month and the inflation-adjusted cost per prescription, according to a new study led by a UCSF researcher. view more (2007-04-30)

Rheumatologists, dermatologists, and patient advocates have come together to publish the first-ever international guidelines for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, a disease that mainly affects people who have psoriasis but also some people without it. view more (2008-10-27)
'Electronic switch' opens doors in rheumatoid joints
A breakthrough in understanding the way atoms move across cell membranes in the human body could pave the way for the development of new treatments for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2008-01-03)
Research proves tai chi benefits for arthritis
A new study by The George Institute for International Health has found Tai Chi to have positive health benefits for musculoskeletal pain. view more (2009-06-16)
Incorporating Education in Exercise Programs Increases Benefits for Arthritis Patients, MU Researchers Find
Arthritis is the nation's most common cause of disability. The number of adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis is projected to increase to 67 million by 2030, and a large proportion of U.S. adults will limit their activity as a result. view more (2008-10-09)
Childhood arthritis raises risk of broken bones
Childhood arthritis increases the risk of fractures, particularly during adolescence, according to a large study of British patient records. view more (2006-05-09)
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 continuing up to a year later, according to researchers. 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)
