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)
Contradictory immune responses explain different therapeutic effects in rheumatoid arthritis

Fibromyalgia pain caused by neuron mismatch, suggests study
The unexplained pain experienced by patients with fibromyalgia is the result of a mismatch between sensory and motor systems, new research suggests. view more (2007-10-31)
Telephone questionnaire makes best use of resources
Telephone-based questionnaires, administered by trained lay-people, could prove more accurate and less costly than current case detection surveys for rheumatoid disease, French researchers said today. Speaking at the Press Conference during EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), Professor... view more... (2001-06-14)
Study provides guidelines for treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis
A study published by the Cleveland Clinic and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) provides the medical community for the first time with specific guidelines for treating juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), previously known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), a condition that affects approximately one in every 1,000 children. view more (2005-10-05)
Geneticists Hunt for Scleroderma Triggers
At its most benign, the autoimmune disease scleroderma can discolor parts of the skin of its sufferers. At its most pernicious, it can thicken and harden their skin, their blood vessels, and their internal organs before, in many cases, killing them. view more (2009-10-30)
Cancer drug hope for people with lupus
