| Rheumatoid Arthritis Animation | | 2008-06-06 07:38:00 | | Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the joints, causing inflammation (arthritis), and some organs, such as the lungs and skin. It can be a disabling and painful condition, which can lead to substantial loss of functioning mobility due to pain and joint destruction. It is diagnosed with blood tests (especially a test called rheumatoid factor) and X-rays. Diagnosis and long-term management are typically performed by a rheumatologist, an expert in the diseases of joints and connective tissues.Various treatments are available. Non-pharmacological treatment includes physical therapy and occupational therapy. Analgesia (painkillers) and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as steroids, are used to suppress the symptoms, while disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are often required to reverse the disease process and prevent long-term damage. Classic DMARDs are methotrexate and sulfasalazine, but also the newer grou | | By: Biosolution | | |
| | | Newer Rheumatoid Arthritis Drugs Lower Production of B Cells | | 2008-01-29 21:53:48 | | (HealthDay News) -- Certain drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) provide a powerful, previously unknown, benefit for the immune system, say University of Rochester Medical Center researchers.They found that drugs known as anti-TNF compounds -- including Enbrel, Humira and Remicade -- help reduce the activity of abnormal B cells that play a role in autoimmune diseases such as RA and lupus. TNF is a chemical messenger that fires up the immune system. Anti-TNF drugs inhibit TNF.The findings, published in the Jan. 15 issue of The Journal of Immunology, suggest that these drugs improve the health of patients in a way that hadn't been recognized, the researchers said."The most important considerations for any drug are: Is it safe, and does it work? The answer is certainly 'yes' to both questions for these anti-TNF compounds. The drugs have revolutionized the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. But it also turns out that, even though millions of patients been treated wit | | By: Ayurveda in Thailand Blog | | |

| | | | Vocht, Gewrichtspijn and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Treatments | | 2007-05-23 08:29:00 | | Koude helpt goed tegen reumapijn en is goed voor reumapatiënten. Mensen met reumatoïde artritis moeten daarom vaker zonder jas naar buiten, zo blijkt uit onderzoek. In tegenstelling tot wat altijd werd gedacht veroorzaakt niet kou, maar juist vochtigheid de gewrichtspijn. De volkswijsheid die zegt dat reumapatiënten bij koud en mistig weer meer pijnklachten hebben, is duidelijk achterhaald, meent onderzoeker Wieb Patberg.Medical experts advise that the foundation for the sound management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) should include weight maintenance and a healthy diet. Research has shown that RA is a product of an eating regimen that is heavy in saturated fat, processed foods, refined carbohydrates and sugar. To help prevent RA or manage its symptoms, one should have ample servings of whole foods, fruits and vegetables, and foods that are rich in fatty acids.Paying close attention to these five factors will go a long way towards solving the root causes of rheumatoid arthritis.
