Infliximab May Offer Hope For Patients Living With Spondyloarthropathy
For the first time, there may be an effective therapeutic option for severe cases of spondyloarthropathies (SpA), a group of rheumatic inflammatory diseases that affect the spinal column, peripheral joints and tendons. The study, published in the March 6 issue of "Arthritis and Rheumatism", found that patients treated with infliximab (also known... view more... (2002-03-07)

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)

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)
Working environment is 1 cause of rheumatoid arthritis
It has long been known that environmental factors play a part in the development of rheumatoid arthritis; smoking and drinking alcohol, along with heredity, are particularly instrumental in increasing the risk of the disease. view more (2008-09-25)
