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)

Inhibiting Proteins May Prevent Cartilage Breakdown in Arthritis Patients
Current arthritis medications can ease the pain, but stopping the progression of the disease requires more aggressive treatments: use of very limited available drugs or surgical intervention. University of Missouri researchers hope to find new therapeutic targets for arthritis by studying the interaction between two proteins that, if interrupted,... view more... (2009-02-19)

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 LANCET. Rheumatoid arthritis affects around 1% of... view more... (2004-02-25)

Salmon farms kill wild fish, study shows
New research confirms that sea lice from fish farms kill wild salmon. Up to 95 per cent of the wild juvenile salmon that migrate past fish farms die as a result of sea lice infestation from the farms.   view more (2006-10-03)

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 disease.   The condition can have serious... view more...

Immune cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis have prematurely aged chromosomes
Telomeres, structures that cap the ends of cells' chromosomes, grow shorter with each round of cell division unless a specialized enzyme replenishes them. Maintaining telomeres is thought to be important for healthy aging and cancer prevention.   view more (2009-03-05)

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)

The link between obesity and osteoarthritis may be more than just the wear and tear on the skeleton caused by added weight.    view more (2009-09-29)

Investigational study of ustekinumab in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis published
A group of patients suffering from potentially debilitating psoriatic arthritis showed significant and prolonged improvement after treatment with ustekinumab, according to data from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis (PsA).   view more (2009-02-12)

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 in rheumatoid arthritis patients with an... view more...

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)
