  1. 11. 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. 12. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis : aspects of pathogenesis and risk

    Författare :Bengt Wahlin; Solveig Wållberg-Jonsson; Anna Södergren; Anders Bengtsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; inflammation; atherosclerosis; cardiovascular disease; risk estimation; cytomegalovirus; T-cells; bone turnover; osteoprotegerin; osteocalcin; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an increased prevalence and severity of atherosclerosis, and a corresponding increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms causing this are not well elucidated, but both traditional cardiovascular risk factors and RA-associated factors have been associated with atherosclerosis and increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients with RA.

  4. 13. Genetic Factors and Nasal Tolerance in Rat Models for Rheumatoid Arthritis

    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.

  5. 14. Pain patterns in early rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Joakim Lindqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Study I: Widespread non-joint pain in early rheumatoid arthritis. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the development of widespread non-joint pain (WNP) in a cohort of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the associated health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and clinical and demographical risk factors for WNP.

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation and subsequent destruction of synovial joints. Although its causes remain largely unknown, a substantial genetic contribution is known to exist. LÄS MER
