New Laser-Based Imaging for Early Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Documents Imaging Technique’s Accuracy in Detecting the Course of Finger Joint Inflammation view more (2002-04-24)
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)
Smoking Linked to More Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease
Combination of Smoking and Absence of a Detoxifying Enzyme Linked to More Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease in Female Patients view more (2002-03-12)
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)
MRC Scientists Unlock One of the Secrets of Inflammation Offering Hope of New Treatments for Arthritis, Asthma and Cancer
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists, working with colleagues at the University of Oxford, have unravelled the structure and function of a common protein molecule at the heart of the process of inflammation. The discovery, published today (February 27 2004) in Molecular Cell, provides an exciting platform for research into the development of... view more... (2004-02-25)
Early life infections increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Infections during the first year of life are a marker of increased risk of developing specific types of arthritis later in life. view more (2008-06-16)
Safety claims of new arthritis drugs may be misleading
Popular arthritis drugs, known as selective COX 2 inhibitors, may not be superior to traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, conclude researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-05-28)
UCF researchers discover a new protein family implicated in inflammatory diseases
A University of Central Florida research team has discovered a new protein family that may play an important role in preventing inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, some forms of cancer and even heart disease. view more (2008-03-11)
Molecular switch the key to disease breakthroughs on many fronts
A single molecular switch may be the key to fighting disease on several fronts. Research published in SCIENCE this week, suggests that the blocking of one signalling pathway may be crucial in tackling auto-immune disease, transplant rejection and leukaemia. Having identified a small family of signalling molecules that play an important role in... view more... (2002-07-16)
Inhibiting Proteins May Prevent Cartilage Breakdown in Arthritis Patients
Current arthritis medications can ease the pain, but stopping the progression of the disease requires more aggressive treatments: use of very limited available drugs or surgical intervention. University of Missouri researchers hope to find new therapeutic targets for arthritis by studying the interaction between two proteins that, if interrupted,... view more... (2009-02-19)
Hand bone mineral density is an effective predictor of mortality in rheumatoid arthritis
Low bone mineral density in the hand is a valid predictor of overall mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and indicates long-term prognosis, according to a new study presented today at EULAR 2008, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Paris, France. Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) demonstrated bone... view more... (2008-06-13)
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)
Incorporating Education in Exercise Programs Increases Benefits for Arthritis Patients, MU Researchers Find
Arthritis is the nation's most common cause of disability. The number of adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis is projected to increase to 67 million by 2030, and a large proportion of U.S. adults will limit their activity as a result. view more (2008-10-09)
Better outcome for rheumatoid arthritis patients given intensive outpatient treatment (p 263)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that intensive monthly outpatient treatment with antirheumatic drugs and steroid injections can substantially improve patients' symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis compared with standard three-month outpatient treatment. Duncan Porter (Gartnavel General Hospital, Glasgow, UK) and... view more... (2004-07-14)
Researchers identify cell group key to Lyme disease arthritis
A research team led by the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology and Albany Medical College has illuminated the important role of natural killer (NK) T cells in Lyme disease, demonstrating that the once little understood white blood cells are central to clearing the bacterial infection and reducing the intensity and duration of arthritis... view more...

Pine bark reduces inflammatory marker CRP in osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA), a type of arthritis caused by the breakdown and loss of cartilage, affects more than 20 million Americans. view more (2008-12-10)
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)
Mouse experiments shed light on age effects in arthritis
Older mice are more susceptible to proteoglycan-induced arthritis (PGIA). Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Immunity & Ageing have shown, for the first time, that young mice are completely resistant, but become fully susceptible to the disease with age. view more (2009-06-11)
Discovery of a 'molecular switch' could lead to new ways of treating infection, including MRSA
The discovery of a 'molecular switch' could lead to new ways of treating infections such as MRSA, and inflammatory diseases like arthritis. view more (2005-04-26)
'Electronic switch' opens doors in rheumatoid joints
A breakthrough in understanding the way atoms move across cell membranes in the human body could pave the way for the development of new treatments for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2008-01-03)
