Rheumatoid arthritis rising among women
After four decades on the decline, rheumatoid arthritis is on the upswing among women in the United States. That's the finding presented by Mayo Clinic investigators at the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals in San Francisco. view more (2008-10-27)
NICE gives backing for the use of advanced biological therapies to treat severe psoriasis
The UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has today issued guidance for the use of the targeted biological therapies, Enbrel® (etanercept) and Raptiva® (efalizumab), to treat adult patients with severe plaque psoriasis. view more (2006-07-27)
To avoid stomach upset in arthritis patients, drug combination more effective
UCLA/VA researchers found that for arthritis patients, taking a combination of two drugs may be most effective in protecting against stomach upset called dyspepsia, which is a side effect of common pain medications. view more (2006-05-02)
New arthritis drugs less likely to cause side effects
A new group of arthritis drugs recommended by NICE for patients at risk of gastrointestinal complications may be safer than traditional drugs, research in this week's BMJ suggests. Claims that the drugs, known as selective COX2 inhibitors, caused fewer gastrointestinal problems than traditional arthritis drugs led to an increase in their use, but... view more... (2002-09-18)
Vegan diet promotes atheroprotective antibodies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and cardiovascular diseases. The underlying causes are unknown, but researchers suspect that the disturbed balance of blood fats seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis may be part of the explanation. view more (2008-03-19)
Doctors awarded international prize for research leading to new treatment in rheumatoid arthritis
The Crafoord Prize is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for research in areas not covered by the Nobel prizes, which the academy also awards. The prize consists of a gold medal to each prize-winner and $500,000 (approximately £300,000) to be divided between them. It will be awarded on 18 September 2000 at the Royal... view more...

Knee arthritis link to lung cancer
Arthritis of the knee may be the first sign of a type of lung cancer that is hard to treat in heavy smokers, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2007-09-04)
Revealing the machinery underlying the 'plastic' juvenile brain
Among the central mysteries of neurobiology is what properties of the young brain enable it to so adeptly wire itself to adapt to experience—a quality known as plasticity. view more (2007-03-01)
Not only the gene itself, its abnormal regulation can also trigger short stature
A specific gene is particularly frequently involved in the development of short stature. Researchers in Heidelberg have now discovered that sequences of genetic material on the X and Y chromosome that regulate this gene are also crucial for growth in children. view more (2009-08-26)
MRI Can Eliminate Unnecessary Surgery for Children with Suspected Musculoskeletal Infections
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)
Rare Lung Disease Cells Indicate Higher Death Risk
Large numbers of certain cells in the lungs of patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis may increase their chance of death, UC researchers have discovered. view more (2008-01-17)
Anger, depression much higher among jailed teen girls than boys
A new study reveals that girls in juvenile detention centers face surprisingly different psychological issues than average teen girls and, in some ways, more severe problems than incarcerated boys. view more (2007-07-25)
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)
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...

Today's baby boomers are heavier and more likely to have arthritis
Baby-boomers have spent more years living with more obesity than the previous generation, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have found. view more (2005-08-19)
Kids from juvenile justice system 7 times more likely to commit criminal acts
A new study shows that juvenile delinquents sentenced to either a juvenile retreat, probation or unsupervised community service were seven times more likely to commit criminal acts as adults than youngsters from the control group who managed to avoid the juvenile justice system. view more (2008-11-19)
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. Speaking at the Press Conference during EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of the European League Against Rheumatism... view more... (2001-06-14)
