Infants should be screened for hip trouble
Developmental hip dysplasia is the most common congenital defect in newborns. The condition occurs when a hip joint is shallow, unstable or when the joint is dislocated. Infants with the condition are often at risk of developing arthritis of the hip as a young adult. view more (2009-07-01)
The mind-body connection: how CNS regulates arthritis
In a unique approach to inflammation research, a study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine shows that, in a model of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation in the joints can be sensed and modulated by the central nervous system (CNS). view more (2006-09-05)
Rheumatoid arthritis drug linked to serious infections and cancers
A new meta-analysis of many previous studies of TNF- (tumor necrosis factor) blocking antibodies for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis has confirmed a previously discovered increased risk for serious infection and has found that cancer also is a potential risk associated with the drugs. view more (2006-05-17)
Grandma was right - cod liver oil is good for you!
In inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, the presence of unusual fatty acids, Omega or n-3 fatty acids, (that are uniquely present in fish oils but not other oils common in the diet) in the cartilage cells reduces the activity of specific enzymes (Proteolytic or aggrecanase enzymes) that are responsible for cartilage damage. view more (2000-01-12)
Scientists discover how gold eases pain of arthritis
Scientists at Duke University Medical Center may have solved the mystery surrounding the healing properties of gold - a discovery they say may renew interest in gold salts as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. view more (2007-10-23)
MRC Scientists Unlock One of the Secrets of Inflammation Offering Hope of New Treatments for Arthritis, Asthma and Cancer
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists, working with colleagues at the University of Oxford, have unravelled the structure and function of a common protein molecule at the heart of the process of inflammation. The discovery, published today (February 27 2004) in Molecular Cell, provides an exciting platform for research into the development of... view more... (2004-02-25)
Green tea compound suppresses factors causing cartilage, bone destruction in arthritis
In rheumatoid arthritis, a person's own immune system attacks the joints by activating the synovial tissue that lines the body's movable joints, causing inflammation, swelling, pain and eventually erosion of the bone and cartilage and deformation of the joint. view more (2007-04-30)
Detecting bone erosion in arthritic wrists
Both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are more sensitive than radiography - the standard imaging technique - for detecting bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). view more (2008-02-28)
Manchester researchers identify gene behind rheumatoid arthritis
University of Manchester researchers have identified a genetic variant in a region on chromosome 6 that is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most common inflammatory arthritis affecting 387,000 people in the UK. view more (2007-11-05)
75 million SEK for Swedish stem cell research
Swedish stem cell research is to receive a supplement of 75 million SEK over five years. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF), the world’s leading nonprofit, nongovernmental funder of diabetes research will contribute with 50 million SEK. The Swedish Research Council contributes with 20 million and the Swedish... view more... (2002-03-21)
Cancer drug may be remedy for rheumatoid arthritis, Stanford study finds
The potent cancer drug Gleevec, used to combat leukemia and some gastrointestinal cancers, may be useful in treating rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2006-09-29)
Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with poor sleep in women
Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) negatively affect women's sleep. Sleep is further impaired by pain, depression and poor adherence to RA medications. view more (2009-06-10)
New research addresses taboos around the impact of rheumatoid arthritis on patients' sex lives
New research, presented today at the 7th EULAR annual congress, reveals one third of rheumatoid arthritis patients feel their condition has 'considerably' negative influence on their sexual activity. view more (2006-06-26)
Inheritance, Smoking Spawn Mysterious and Deadly Lung Disease
An incurable, deadly lung disorder, "idiopathic interstitial pneumonia" (IIP), whose causes were mysterious arises from a combination of a genetic predisposition and damage due to inhaled chemicals, notably from cigarette smoking. view more (2005-09-28)
In vitro models will minimize animal use in arthritis studies
It's hard to think of scientists in laboratories working toward solutions for medical problems without mice or other laboratory animals, but animals' roles in at least one major research laboratory may soon be minimal. view more (2007-10-18)
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 gene microarray facility at the University making... view more...

Chicken-hearted tyrants
Two titans fighting a bloody battle - that often turns fatal for both of them. This is how big predatory dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus are often depicted while hunting down their supposed prey: even larger herbivorous dinosaurs. view more (2009-08-07)
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 Karolinska University Hospital. view more (2004-08-26)
Double threat: Deadly lung disease also linked to heart attacks
Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are three times as likely to experience severe coronary events-including heart attacks-than people without the disease. view more (2008-12-05)
Protein may be strongest indicator of rare lung disease, study shows
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have discovered a protein in the lungs that can help in determining progression of the rare lung disease Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). view more (2009-06-04)
