Rheumatoid arthritis is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease
The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been found to be comparable to the risk of CVD in people with type 2 diabetes. view more (2008-06-16)
Knee injury causes decrease in lubrication, has implications for arthritis
Researchers have found an association between inflammation from knee injuries and a progressive loss of joint lubrication, which may predispose people to arthritis. They have also found a way to quantify how much lubrication is lost following injury. view more (2005-06-02)
'Vioxx like' drugs may still be best option for arthritis, write scientists
Scientists believe that despite the current concerns around anti-inflammatory drugs like Vioxx, they may still be the best option for treating some forms of arthritis. view more (2006-01-19)
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)
MabThera - A unique approach providing lasting benefits for patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Roche today announced positive results of the Phase III REFLEX study, evaluating the efficacy and safety of MabThera in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who have had an inadequate response to anti-TNF biologic therapy. view more (2005-11-17)
Experimental gene therapy 'abolishes' arthritis pain and lessens joint damage
Early-stage research has found that a new gene therapy can nearly eliminate arthritis pain, and significantly reduce long-term damage to the affected joints, according to a study published today in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. view more (2007-05-29)

Rheumatoid arthritis drug linked to serious infections and cancers
A new meta-analysis of many previous studies of TNF- (tumor necrosis factor) blocking antibodies for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis has confirmed a previously discovered increased risk for serious infection and has found that cancer also is a potential risk associated with the drugs. view more (2006-05-17)
Scientists Show Drug Can Counteract Muscular Dystrophy in Mice
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) and other institutions have demonstrated for the first time that a single drug can rebuild damaged muscle in two strains of mice that develop diseases comparable to two human forms of muscular dystrophy. view more (2006-10-05)
Key molecular signaling switch involved in allergic disease identified
A research team has identified a key enzyme responsible for triggering a chain of events that results in allergic reaction, according to new study findings published online this week in Nature Immunology. view more (2006-10-30)
To avoid stomach upset in arthritis patients, drug combination more effective
UCLA/VA researchers found that for arthritis patients, taking a combination of two drugs may be most effective in protecting against stomach upset called dyspepsia, which is a side effect of common pain medications. view more (2006-05-02)
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)

Breast feeding for a period of thirteen months or more has been shown to reduce the mother's the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). view more (2007-06-18)
NICE gives backing for the use of advanced biological therapies to treat severe psoriasis
The UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has today issued guidance for the use of the targeted biological therapies, Enbrel® (etanercept) and Raptiva® (efalizumab), to treat adult patients with severe plaque psoriasis. view more (2006-07-27)
High exposure to motor oil increases chances of developing arthritis
Occupational exposure to mineral oils, in particular hydraulic or motor oil, increases the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis by 30%. These are the results of a study published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy. view more (2005-09-23)
SLU researchers show how to stop muscle weakness caused by myasthenia gravis
Severe muscle weakness caused by myasthenia gravis - a highly debilitating autoimmune disorder - can be prevented or reversed by blocking a key step in the immune response that brings on the disease, researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine have found. view more (2007-12-21)
Polymorphism and antibodies associated with highly increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis
People who have a specific genetic variant of the PTPN22 gene and test positive for antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptide are much more at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis than people who only have one of these markers. view more (2005-12-22)
Birth weight may be linked to arthritis in later life
The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, but researchers in this week’s BMJ suggest that some factors relating to the period shortly before and after birth (perinatal factors) may be implicated in the development of the disease in later life. view more (2003-05-14)
