  1. 36. Rho-GTPases in Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Författare :Eric Malmhäll-Bah; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rho-GTPases; rheumatoid arthritis; innate immunity; adaptive immunity; RA treatment;

    Sammanfattning : The success of alleviating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms is complicated by both heterogeneity of the disease and lack of predictive markers to guide treatment options. Deregulated Rho-GTPases, a family of hydrolase enzymes catalyzing guanosine triphospate (GTP) to guanosine diphospate (GDP), have a detrimental role in many diseases including RA. LÄS MER

  3. 37. New models for relapsing polychondritis and rheumatoid arthritis : focus on the tissue specific immune response

    Författare :Ann-Sofie Hansson; Immunologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; relapsing polychondritis rheumatoid arthritis matrilin-1 collagen model; Clinical biology; Klinisk biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Relapsing polychondritis (RP) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autoimmune diseases where an inappropriate immune response destroys cartilage. In RP, the ears, larynx, nose and joints are affected, while the most prominent sign of RA is arthritis. LÄS MER

  4. 38. Complement in Disease - Extracellular Proteins as Complement Regulators

    Författare :Kaisa Happonen; Malmö Proteinkemi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rheumatoid arthritis; joint disease; Complement; proteoglycan; cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Complement activation occurs during inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is thought to contribute to the chronic inflammation observed within the joints. Previous studies have shown that certain cartilage components of the small leucine-rich repeat protein (SLRP)-family regulate complement activity, thereby possibly contributing to disease progression.

  5. 39. Association between diet and treatment results in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus

    Författare :Cecilia Lourdudoss; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are chronic autoimmune inflammatory diseases. The causes of these diseases are unknown and evidence indicates that a combination of both genetic and environmental factors contribute to their etiology. Several studies have reported dietary benefits for patients with RA as well as SLE. LÄS MER

  7. 40. Psychological processes in somatic disease

    Författare :Noomi Elander Lindberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The course of disease was investigated in three studies of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim was to explore changes in clinical course during and after psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy, with one session of 60-90 minutes per week for 3.3 years as a median. LÄS MER
