The authors of the study, from Imperial College London, say that if scientists could block this signal, it may be possible to develop more effective arthritis treatments. http://www.huliq.com/11/82814/new-molecule-triggering-inflammation-rheumatoid-arthritis-discovered#comments Health rheumatoid arthritis rheumatoid arthritis treatment Sun, 28 Jun 2009 14:04:52 -0500 harminka 82814 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82797/clinical-trial-promises-new-druf-rheumatoid-arthritis-treatment A clinical trial of masitinib, a drug in development for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, has shown it to be well tolerated and effective. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Arthritis Research and Therapy have shown that treatment with masitinib significantly reduced the severity of active rheumatoid arthritis. http://www.huliq.com/11/82797/clinical-trial-promises-new-druf-rheumatoid-arthritis-treatment#comments Health rheumatoid arthritis rheumatoid arthritis treatment Sat, 27 Jun 2009 11:52:51 -0500 harminka 82797 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82151/half-rheumatoid-arthritis-patients-have-periodontitis Over half (56%) of people with rheumatoid arthritis also have periodontitis, displaying fewer teeth than healthy matched controls, high prevalence of oral sites presenting dental plaque and advanced attachment loss (the extent of periodontal support that has been destroyed around a tooth), according to the results of a new study presented today at EULAR 2009, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Copenhagen, Denmark. http://www.huliq.com/11/82151/half-rheumatoid-arthritis-patients-have-periodontitis#comments Health periodontitis rheumatoid arthritis Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:52:53 -0500 harminka 82151 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82107/new-treatment-strategy-rheumatoid-arthritis-patients-revealed Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who failed to respond to initial treatment with rituximab (RTX) (a chimeric monoclonal antibody against the protein CD20) can still be successfully re-treated with a second course of RTX after six months, according to the results of a new study presented today at EULAR 2009, the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism in Copenhagen, Denmark. http://www.huliq.com/11/82107/new-treatment-strategy-rheumatoid-arthritis-patients-revealed#comments Health rheumatoid arthritis Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:32:34 -0500 harminka 82107 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82035/rheumatoid-arthritis-negatively-affects-women-sleep According to a research abstract that will be presented on Wednesday, June 10, at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) negatively affect women's sleep. Sleep is further impaired by pain, depression and poor adherence to RA medications. http://www.huliq.com/11/82035/rheumatoid-arthritis-negatively-affects-women-sleep#comments Health rheumatoid arthritis sleep health women's health Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:53:43 -0500 harminka 82035 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82007/new-risk-factor-rheumatoid-arthritis-identified Scientists at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and a team of collaborators from across the country have identified a new risk factor gene for rheumatoid arthritis. The paper will be published in Nature Genetics and the finding brings light to the nature of the disease. The gene, dubbed REL, is a member of the NF-B family, important transcription factors that have many roles in the body. The NF-B family seems to have a big hand in regulating the body's immune response as well. http://www.huliq.com/11/82007/new-risk-factor-rheumatoid-arthritis-identified#comments Health rheumatoid arthritis Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:25:01 -0500 harminka 82007 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81379/arthritis-drug-may-be-effective-fighting-flu Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have found that an approved drug for treating rheumatoid arthritis reduces severe illness and death in mice exposed to the Influenza A virus. Their findings suggest that tempering the response of the body's immune system to influenza infection may alleviate some of the more severe symptoms and even reduce mortality from this virus. http://www.huliq.com/11/81379/arthritis-drug-may-be-effective-fighting-flu#comments Health flu rheumatoid arthritis Tue, 26 May 2009 13:22:37 -0500 harminka 81379 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78085/immune-cells-rheumatoid-arthritis-patients-have-prematurely-aged-chromosomes Telomeres, structures that cap the ends of cells' chromosomes, grow shorter with each round of cell division unless a specialized enzyme replenishes them.

It enters the cell via several pathways, one of which involves folate receptor β (FRβ), which is highly specific for cells present in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). http://www.huliq.com/11/76051/novel-drugs-selectively-target-pathway-important-rheumatoid-arthritis#comments Health rheumatoid arthritis rheumatoid arthritis treatment Wed, 14 Jan 2009 04:01:15 -0600 harminka 76051 at http://www.huliq.com
