Doctors should watch for depression in arthritis patients
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are twice as likely to experience depression but are unlikely to talk to a doctor about it, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2008-02-21)
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)
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)
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)
Researchers identify new risk factor gene for rheumatoid arthritis
Scientists at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and a team of collaborators from across the country have identified a new risk factor gene for rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2009-06-10)
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)
New trigger for chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis discovered
A signal molecule made by the human body that triggers the immune system into action may be important in rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2009-06-29)
Fireflies and jellyfish help illuminate quest for cause of infertility
Genes taken from fireflies and jellyfish are literally shedding light on possible causes of infertility and autoimmune diseases in humans. view more (2009-03-27)
A new approach to rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis drugs work better, at least in arthritic rats, when delivered into the central nervous system, Gary Firestein and colleagues (University of California San Diego) now report in the international open-access medical journal PLoS Medicine. 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)
Mediterranean diet significantly lessens symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
A Mediterranean diet significantly lessens the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, shows a small Swedish study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. But it takes a minimum of six weeks for the diet to take effect, the study shows. The researchers were only able to study 51 people out of a possible 300, because of the various combinations of drugs... view more... (2003-02-18)
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)
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 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...

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)
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)
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...

Researchers call for holistic approach in treating rheumatoid arthritis
Researchers have today called for a holistic approach in the management and treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in order to reduce mortality and improve patient outcome. The call for action coincides with the start of EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) which opens today... view more... (2001-06-12)
Study uncovers potential biomarker for lupus atherosclerosis
A certain form of the normally "good" high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol linked to cardiovascular health plays a counterproductive role in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2005-11-16)
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)
