Monoclonal antibody reduces exacerbations in asthmatics
Patients with symptomatic moderate asthma who were treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha, an anti-inflammatory monoclonal antibody, experienced significantly fewer disease exacerbations than individuals taking a placebo. view more (2006-10-02)
“Shooting the messenger” to tackle autoimmune diseases
AIDS and other autoimmune diseases could be tackled with a range of new drugs that stop cells recognising certain chemical messages in blood, says Dr Gerry Graham from the Glasgow-based Institute for Cancer Research speaking at the BA Festival of Science today [3 September 2001]. Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple... view more... (2001-08-30)

Arthritis of the knee may be the first sign of a type of lung cancer that is hard to treat in heavy smokers, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2007-09-04)
New findings show Enbrel significantly reduced levels of C-reactive protein
Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a division of Wyeth (NYSE: WYE), today announced findings from a retrospective analysis, which demonstrated that ENBREL reduced C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis following 12 weeks of treatment. view more (2008-02-04)
MRI Can Eliminate Unnecessary Surgery for Children with Suspected Musculoskeletal Infections

Better access to info and dialogue with HCPs on sexual issues for rheumatology patients
Patients with rheumatic diseases want more information and better communication with healthcare professionals on the sexual issues related to their conditions. view more (2009-06-12)
Experimental approach may reverse rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis
Researchers have identified a mechanism that may keep a well known signaling molecule from eroding bone and inflaming joints, according to an early study published online today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2009-09-22)
Early treatment of systemic onset JIA with anakinra restores the IL-18 response
First line treatment with anakinra (an interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist), results in a 'good' clinical response (ACRp90) in patients newly diagnosed with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA), and restores the deficient IL-18 response of natural killer (NK) cells. view more (2009-06-15)
Today's baby boomers are heavier and more likely to have arthritis
Baby-boomers have spent more years living with more obesity than the previous generation, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have found. view more (2005-08-19)
Microbes start immune response by sneaking inside cells
Immune cells that are the body's front-line defense don't necessarily rest quietly until invading bacteria lock onto receptors on their outside skins and rouse them to action, as previously thought. In a new paper, University of Michigan scientists describe their findings that bacteria can barge inside these guard cells and independently initiate... view more... (2007-04-16)
Costs of treating arthritis on the rise nationwide, study finds
The amount Americans spent on arthritis medications more than doubled between 1998 and 2003, due to the fast-rising number of people with the disease, increases in the number of medications they take each month and the inflation-adjusted cost per prescription, according to a new study led by a UCSF researcher. view more (2007-04-30)
Protein's New Role Discovered in Autoimmune Disease
Investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have identified the previously unknown role of a chemical 'messenger' leading to autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. view more (2008-01-03)
Oily fish can protect against RA, but smoking and psychosocial stress increase its risk
New data presented today at EULAR 2008, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Paris, France, show that intake of oily fish is associated with a reduced risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), whereas psychosocial work stress and smoking can increase the risk of developing the condition. view more (2008-06-16)

'Jumping genes' could make for safer gene delivery system
To move a gene from point A to point B, scientists and gene therapists have two proven options: a virus, which can effectively ferry genes of interest into cells, and a plasmid, an engineered loop of DNA that can do the same thing, albeit usually only on a short-term basis. view more (2007-09-27)
New self-management program offers significant benefits for arthritis patients with chronic pain
A new two week programme significantly reduces healthcare visits, pain scores and health distress in arthritis patients with chronic pain. Results were comparable to existing six week self-management programmes and the benefits of the programme were sustained for six months with improvements continuing up to a year later, according to researchers. view more (2008-06-13)
Where do new therapies work best?
An observational study to investigate how new therapies for rheumatic diseases perform across different conditions has revealed that they may be more successful in certain conditions. view more (2006-06-23)
Studies link cancer, inflammatory disease
The biological processes underlying diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and cancer are fundamentally linked, and should be linked in how they are treated with drugs, a series of MIT studies indicates. view more (2006-04-06)
