Genes are of little importance in rheumatoid arthritis
Genes are of little importance in the development of rheumatoid arthritis, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-30)
Coffee may be linked to rheumatoid arthritis
Coffee drinkers seem to be at increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, suggests research in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. The association between coffee drinking and the presence of a hallmark indicator for the development of rheumatoid arthritis?rheumatoid factor?was studied in a cross sectional survey of almost 7,000 people,... view more...

Women who breastfeed for more than a year halve their risk of rheumatoid arthritis
Women who breast feed for longer have a smaller chance of getting rheumatoid arthritis, suggests a study published online ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2008-05-13)
Inflammatory bowel disease is a risk factor for thrombosis
People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more than three times as likely to develop blood clots in their veins (venous thromboembolism), finds new research in Gut. Thromboembolism is a serious and potentially life threatening event. For many years, patients with IBD were thought to be at increased risk, but the evidence has been... view more... (2004-03-09)
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)
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)
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)
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...

Methotrexate treatment for rheumatoid arthritis effective the second time
A second course of methotrexate, the most commonly used drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis, is effective in nearly half of studied patients for whom a previous treatment with the drug was ineffective. view more (2006-02-24)
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)
Women with rheumatoid arthritis have significantly less chance of remission than men
Women with rheumatoid arthritis have significantly less chance of remission than men, finds research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2006-12-07)
Regular tipple may curb risk of rheumatoid arthritis
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Neutrophils in rheumatoid arthritis: How to lessen inflammation but still fight infection
Neutrophils, which quickly congregate at the sites of infection and inflammation, are capable of ingesting microorganisms or other particles. view more (2006-06-16)
Genes in rheumatoid arthritis
A paper published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine provides strong evidence that one specific part of the genome is associated with rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2007-09-18)
New evidence shows Rituximab halts damage to joints
New data, presented today at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology show for the first time that a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, rituximab, is able to significantly inhibit the structural damage to joints caused by RA in patients who have long-standing disease and an inadequate response to one or more TNF (Tumour Necrosis Factor)... view more...
