University of Leicester First for New Technology
A research team at the University of Leicester has won funding for projects examining 60,000 gene interactions simultaneously. Announcing two awards Professor Joe Lunec, Head of the Division of Chemical Pathology, said that an award of £300,000 from the Food Standards Agency will establish a... view more (2000-08-04)

Origins and outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis
The origins of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been studied with the help of data generated from close to 2000 patients with recent onset RA, who have been followed longitudinally be means of structured surveillance programs in Swedish Rheumatology and coordinated from the Karolinska Institutet and... view more (2004-08-26)

Mediterranean diet significantly lessens symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
A Mediterranean diet significantly lessens the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, shows a small Swedish study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. But it takes a minimum of six weeks for the diet to take effect, the study shows. The researchers were only able to study 51 people out of a possible... view more (2003-02-18)

Disability from long-term rheumatoid arthritis reduced with biologic treatment
New data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of Enbrel® (etanercept) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients over the long-term were presented today at the EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) congress.   view more (2007-06-13)

A new view of drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis
Powerful drugs used to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a profound, previously unrecognized effect on the immune system, breaking up molecular "training camps" for rogue cells that play an increasingly recognized role in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.   view more (2008-01-21)

Study uncovers potential biomarker for lupus atherosclerosis
A certain form of the normally "good" high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol linked to cardiovascular health plays a counterproductive role in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis.   view more (2005-11-16)

Early specialist referral is the key to improved long-term patient outcome
Timely identification of patients with early stage, active rheumatoid arthritis and referral to a specialist for treatment with drugs that have the potential to modify the disease process is the key to improving long-term patient outcome, say researchers. Speaking at the Press Conference during... view more (2001-06-14)

New insights into common knee injuries
The sort of swelling that occurs when a joint is damaged by injury or degeneration is normally essential to the healing process, but when it comes to the knee, that inflammation can actually interfere with healing.   view more (2007-08-30)

Genes may determine success of anti-inflammatory therapy for rheumatoid arthritis
Small genetic differences may explain why the same drug works well in one individual but not in another. These genetic variations could be exploited to develop individually tailored treatment programmes for rheumatoid arthritis, Swedish researchers said today. Speaking at the Press Conference... view more (2001-06-14)

Mystery solved: Gold's power against autoimmune diseases defined
Gold compounds have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases for more than 75 years, but until now, how the metals work has been a mystery.   view more (2006-02-27)

Hope for arthritis stems from within
Leeds bioengineers have developed an innovative technique for cartilage repair combining the self-healing powers of the body with stem cell science to help young people avoid debilitating knee problems and give hope to arthritis sufferers.   view more (2006-01-31)

Chronic diseases linked to falls in elderly women
Elderly women with chronic diseases, such as arthritis and depression, are at higher risk of falling, finds a study in this week's BMJ. In fact, chronic diseases may account for 30% of falls in this group. Researchers at the University of Bristol surveyed 4,050 women aged 60-79 years about whether... view more (2003-09-24)

The genes involved in rheumatoid arthritis identified
The human genome has now been thoroughly screened in the hunt for the genetic causes of rheumatoid arthritis. The results, which both confirms previous hypotheses and turn the spotlight on entirely new genes, are presented in two articles in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine.   view more (2007-09-07)

Counseling, coping skills could reduce arthritis disability
Arthritis sufferers who undergo psychological counseling and learn skills for coping with pain have less disability and better quality of life, according to a new systematic review.   view more (2007-05-11)

Tuberculosis not the only risk from new immunological drugs
A new survey cautions physicians that drugs commonly prescribed for patients suffering from immunological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease may carry risks of serious infections other than the known risk of tuberculosis.   view more (2008-05-21)

FDA approves knee-injury device for humans
A new knee-surgery device investigated by University of Missouri-Columbia researchers that will help to repair meniscus tears, which were previously defined as irreparable, has been approved by the FDA for use in humans.   view more (2007-10-03)

Knee injury causes decrease in lubrication, has implications for arthritis
Researchers have found an association between inflammation from knee injuries and a progressive loss of joint lubrication, which may predispose people to arthritis. They have also found a way to quantify how much lubrication is lost following injury.   view more (2005-06-02)

Turmeric prevents experimental rheumatoid arthritis, bone loss, University of Arizona study shows
An ancient spice, long used in traditional Asian medicine, may hold promise for the prevention of both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, according to a recently completed study at The University of Arizona College of Medicine.   view more (2006-10-30)

New evidence shows MabThera inhibits joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
New data presented at the EULAR meeting (European League Against Rheumatism) show for the first time that MabThera (rituximab), a unique B cell targeted therapy, is able to significantly inhibit structural damage of joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA).   view more (2006-06-22)

Sydney scientists discover and license breakthrough anti-inflammatory treatment
Scientists from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have developed what could be the next big blockbuster treatment for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and asthma.   view more (2006-02-08)

Discovery of a 'molecular switch' could lead to new ways of treating infection, including MRSA
The discovery of a 'molecular switch' could lead to new ways of treating infections such as MRSA, and inflammatory diseases like arthritis.   view more (2005-04-26)

Natural compounds block autoimmune response in diabetes, arthritis
Natural compounds derived from a sea anemone extract and a shrub plant have been found to block the autoimmune disease response in type-1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.   view more (2006-11-07)

The unknown risks of arthritis
