  1. 21. JIA (juvenile idiopathic arthritis) in the Nordic countries. Aspects of classification, epidemiology and pain assessment

    Författare :Lillemor Berntson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arthritis; juvenile; rheumatoid; juvenile chronic arthritis; classification; heredity epidemiology; incidence; pain assessment; rating scales; VAS; ordinal data;

    Sammanfattning : Different classification criteria for chronic arthritis in childhood have been used in different parts of the world, which has made comparison between studies difficult. In 1995, a new set of classification criteria was proposed by the ILAR (International League of Associations for Rheumatism) to overcome such difficulties and to create more homogenous subgroups.

  3. 22. Destructive reumatoid arthritis : Epidemiological, economic, and rheumasurgical aspects

    Författare :Brynjolfur Jonsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : This study comprising 8 separate papers is concerned with the prevalence of rheumatic disease and different aspects of destructive rheumatoid arthritis in the population. In an epidemiologically representative population subjective joint disease was found in 30% in ages 45 years and over. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Cartilage proteins and their arthritogenic properties in arthritis

    Författare :Stefan Carlsén; Immunologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; serology; Immunology; HLA-DR4; tolerance; COMP; CXI; CIX; arthritis; Cartilage; collagen;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis the role of cartilage proteins and their potential as antigen and availability to the immune system in arthritis were investigated. Six papers are included; where four present new animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), one shows how genetic disorders in cartilage may affect arthritis and the last how posttranslational modification of collagen type II (CII) affects tolerance.

  5. 24. Interleukin 15 and 17 in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

    Författare :Louise Henningsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Staphylococcus aureus; Interleukin-17A; Interleukin-15; arthritis; osteoclasts; IL-23;

    Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus–induced arthritis leads to severe joint destruction and high mortality despite antibiotic treatment. Thus, there is a need to identify new treatment targets in addition to antibiotic therapy. Interleukin (IL)-15 has been implicated both in osteoclastogenesis and in bacterial clearance – two important issues in S. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Genetic Factors and Nasal Tolerance in Rat Models for Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Författare :Shemin Lu; Immunologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nasal tolerance; linkage analysis; MHC; genetics; pristane induced arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; collagen induced arthritis; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Sammanfattning : We used three animal models of rats for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in this study. Firstly, We found that CXI induced arthritis (CXIIA) is associated with the RT1 f haplotype and follows a chronic disease course affecting peripheral joints with both progression and relapses. LÄS MER
