1. Extra-articular Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk Factors and Consequences
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease not only restricted to the joints, but can also be associated with the development of extra-articular manifestations. Extra-articular RA (ExRA) is of clinical importance because of the associated morbidity and increased risk of premature mortality compared with RA patients in general. LÄS MER
2. Cardiovascular outcomes and extra-articular manifestations in patients with spondyloarthritis
Sammanfattning : Background: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a cluster of rheumatic diseases with similar clinical features, including association with extra-articular manifestations such as anterior uveitis (AU), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and psoriasis. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and undifferentiated SpA (uSpA) are the major subtypes of SpA. LÄS MER
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis in a 10-Year Perspective, Outcome for Patients Followed from Early Disease
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by persistent inflammation, progressive joint damage and disability. This thesis describes the outcome after 10 years in a cohort of 183 RA patients (116 women, 67 men) recruited 1985-89. The mean age was 51 years and symptom duration 11 months at inclusion. LÄS MER
4. Molecular and epidemiological investigations of lung involvement in very early rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory joint disease with at least two distinct clinical phenotypes defined by the presence or absence of antibodies, i.e. rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs). LÄS MER
5. Genetic studies in rheumatoid arthritis : familial studies and analysis of relationships to atherothrombotic comorbidity
Sammanfattning : Background. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease mainly affecting the joints but has also extra articular manifestations and an increased cardiovascular (CV) co-morbidity. Rheumatoid factor (RF) and antibodies against citrullinated proteins/peptides (ACPA) are diagnostically important and are related to a more severe disease. LÄS MER
