  1. 21. Activities with balance limitations among patients with perpheral arthritis : description and assessment

    Författare :Anne Marie Norén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Peripheral arthritis; Activities; Balance; Assessments; Questionnaire;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aim: Patients with peripheral arthritis (PA) have several impairments that can influence balance and be risk factors for falls and fear of falling. Since disability varies among these patients, we need to know what tests are applicable for those with differing degrees of activity limitation. LÄS MER

  3. 22. mPGES-1 and the PGE2 pathway in arthritis

    Författare :Marie Westman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Prostaglandins; mPGES-1; PGES2; cyclooxygenase; rheumatoid arthritis; collagen induced arthritis; antirheumatic treatments; inflammation; synovial tissue; steroids; TNF blockade;

    Sammanfattning : Prostaglandins are a group of lipid mediators derived from essential fatty acids that act on cells in close proximity of their synthesis. Prostaglandins are produced in a cell specific manner by a variety of cells in response to physiological or pathological stimulation. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Genetic dissection of experimental arthritis in the DA rat

    Författare :Liselotte Bäckdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :RA; Experimental arthritis; QTL; congene; Aplec; > human association;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting peripheral joints. Persistent inflammation causes cartilage deterioration with severe joint deformations as a consequence. The etiology is largely unknown but complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Functional studies of T-cells in rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Louise Berg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :T-cells; Rheumatoid arthritis; inflammation; cytokines; collagen type II; immunomodulation;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease with autoimmune features primarily affecting the joints. The etiology of RA is largely unknown but involvement of the immune system in the disease process is evident from the infiltration of leukocytes into the joint, and by the production of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and proteases, mainly by macrophages.

  7. 25. Innate mechanisms regulating peripheral B cell tolerance

    Författare :Fredrik Wermeling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Our immune system protects us from invading pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. However, it can also cause disease by being improperly activated against our own tissues (autoimmune diseases) and harmless environmental factors (allergy). LÄS MER
