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...

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)
Translational research patented first experimental treatment against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a disease with unknown cause with a very severe prognosis; when detected, it is already in an advanced stage. view more (2007-12-26)
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)
Research scientists discover gene defect responsible for epilepsy
Some 70 million people world-wide suffer from what is known as idiopathic epilepsy. The symptoms can vary considerably, ranging from brief unconsciousness and twitching of arms or legs to serious attacks of cramp. Research scientists at the Universities of Bonn, Ulm and Aachen have now been able to identify a gene that - if not properly... view more... (2003-02-27)
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)
Stress Is Founded To Be Associated With Hyperprolactinemia
A group of Italian investigators headed by Nicoletta Sonino (University of Padova) has performed the first controlled investigation on the relationship between stressful life events and an endocrine disease characterized by increased prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia). Little is known about the relationship between recent life events and onset... view more... (2004-07-20)

Thyroid hormone, brain development, and behavior
Dr. Bjorn Vennstrom and colleagues in Spain and at the Karolinska Institute (Sweden) have identified novel neural functions of thyroid hormone (TH), revealing that it is required during discrete periods of brain development to confer "normal" behavior. view more (2005-08-30)
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)
Survival Benefit For Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated With Methotrexate (p 1173)
The anticancer drug methotrexate could have a substantial survival benefit among patients with rheumatoid arthritis, conclude authors of a prospective US study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease which results in reduced life-expectancy and is associated with cardiovascular disease, infection,... view more... (2002-04-04)
