  1. 11. Genetic studies in rheumatoid arthritis : familial studies and analysis of relationships to atherothrombotic comorbidity

    Författare :Lisbeth Ärlestig; Solbritt Rantapää Dahlqvist; Dan Holmberg; Åsa Torinsson Naluai; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; genetics; familial studies; ACPA and cardiovascular co-morbidity; reumatologi; rheumatology; genetik; Genetics; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning;

    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

  3. 12. Anti-TNF treatment of chronic arthritis in clinical practice. New assessment method and predictors of efficacy and tolerability

    Författare :Lars Erik Kristensen; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; response; drug survival; psoriatic arthritis; Arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; adverse events; TNF antagonists;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Treatment of chronic inflammatory arthritis has undergone major changes over the past years following introduction of targeted biological therapies. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) blocking therapy has been the most important biological treatment of chronic arthritis to date. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Extra-articular Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk Factors and Consequences

    Författare :Britt-Marie Nyhall-Wahlin; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiographic progression; disease activity burden; smoking; rheumatoid nodules; Rheumatoid arthritis; extra-articular manifestations; TNF-inhibitor treatment;

    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

  5. 14. Monitoring Arthritis - Biochemical, Metodological and Clinical Aspects

    Sammanfattning : Arthritides are musculoskeletal diseases, which predominantly affect the joints e.g. osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Modern treatment strategies include early detection and careful monitoring of the disease course. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Juvenile chronic arthritis. A study on epidemiology and outcome in Costa Rican children

    Författare :Olga Arguedas; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arthritis; juvenile; rheumatoid; juvenile chronic arthritis; epidemiology; outcome; disability evaluation; antinuclear antibodies; uveitis;

    Sammanfattning : Problems associated with interpreting and comparing epidemiological studies dealing with chronic arthropathies in children include the diversity of classification criteria and selection bias. This study is a step towards elucidating the impact of genetic and environmental factors on disease frequencies and manifestations of Juvenile Chronic Arthritis (JCA) in Costa Rica. LÄS MER
