New therapeutic target identified for rheumatoid arthritis
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery have identified a potential new therapeutic target that could be used to treat inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2008-11-05)
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)
Early specialist referral is the key to improved long-term patient outcome
Timely identification of patients with early stage, active rheumatoid arthritis and referral to a specialist for treatment with drugs that have the potential to modify the disease process is the key to improving long-term patient outcome, say researchers. Speaking at the Press Conference during EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of the... view more... (2001-06-14)
Disability from long-term rheumatoid arthritis reduced with biologic treatment
New data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of Enbrel® (etanercept) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients over the long-term were presented today at the EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) congress. view more (2007-06-13)
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)
A new view of drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis
Powerful drugs used to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a profound, previously unrecognized effect on the immune system, breaking up molecular "training camps" for rogue cells that play an increasingly recognized role in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. view more (2008-01-21)
Genes may determine success of anti-inflammatory therapy for rheumatoid arthritis
Small genetic differences may explain why the same drug works well in one individual but not in another. These genetic variations could be exploited to develop individually tailored treatment programmes for rheumatoid arthritis, Swedish researchers said today. Speaking at the Press Conference during EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of... view more... (2001-06-14)
Mystery solved: Gold's power against autoimmune diseases defined
Gold compounds have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases for more than 75 years, but until now, how the metals work has been a mystery. view more (2006-02-27)
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)
The genes involved in rheumatoid arthritis identified
The human genome has now been thoroughly screened in the hunt for the genetic causes of rheumatoid arthritis. The results, which both confirms previous hypotheses and turn the spotlight on entirely new genes, are presented in two articles in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2007-09-07)
Pediatric researchers find possible 'master switch' gene in juvenile arthritis
Researchers have found that a gene region known to play a role in some varieties of adult rheumatoid arthritis is also present in all types of childhood arthritis. The researchers say the responsible gene may be a "master switch" that helps turn on the debilitating disease. view more (2008-07-02)
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)
Tuberculosis not the only risk from new immunological drugs
A new survey cautions physicians that drugs commonly prescribed for patients suffering from immunological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease may carry risks of serious infections other than the known risk of tuberculosis. view more (2008-05-21)
New evidence shows MabThera inhibits joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
New data presented at the EULAR meeting (European League Against Rheumatism) show for the first time that MabThera (rituximab), a unique B cell targeted therapy, is able to significantly inhibit structural damage of joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA). view more (2006-06-22)
Smoking and the Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Shows Significantly Higher Risk for the Disease Among Current Smokers with a Classic Genetic Risk Factor view more (2004-10-07)
Gene therapy demonstrates benefit in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Researchers have reported the first clinical evidence that gene therapy reduces symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, an important milestone for this promising treatment which has endured a sometimes turbulent past. view more (2009-01-27)
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)
Scientists shine new light on inflammatory diseases
Investigators at Hospital for Special Surgery have identified a new mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2008-03-17)
New insights into common knee injuries
The sort of swelling that occurs when a joint is damaged by injury or degeneration is normally essential to the healing process, but when it comes to the knee, that inflammation can actually interfere with healing. view more (2007-08-30)
The unknown risks of arthritis
Arthritis, in particular rheumatoid arthritis (RA), has devastating effects on the body, causing many debilitating effects and leaving many patients immobile or able to function normally. view more (2006-06-26)
