To determine the predictive factors for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 79 patients (11 men, 68 women; average age at onset of symptoms 37.1 years) with fixed joint effusion of one knee joint, of minimum 6 months' duration, were divided into three groups: group I, 11 patients (14%) who ...
Read about 12 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms and signs, including swelling, pain, and morning stiffness in fingers and feet. Learn about RA causes, treatment, medications, and diet. Researchers suspect gut bacteria as a possible cause of rheumatoid a
About 1% of the world's population is afflicted by rheumatoid arthritis, women three times more often than men. Onset is most frequent between the ages of 40 and 50, but people of any age can be affected. It can be a disabling and painful condition, which can lead to substantial loss ...
Hormonal reproductive factors have been suggested to play an important role in the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune inflammatory disorder affecting primarily women. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study examining three relevant exposures, age at menarche (AAM)...
Thirty years ago, one researcher concluded that there was an average loss of 18 years of life in patients who developed rheumatoid arthritis before the age of 50. Most authorities believe that remissions rarely occur. Some experts feel that the term “remission-inducing” should not be used to...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a persistent autoimmune condition characterized by synovitis and joint damage. Recent findings suggest a potential link to abnormal lactate metabolism. This study aims to identify lactate metabolism-related genes (LMRGs) in R
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an age-related chronic inflammatory disease which may include accelerated biological ageing processes in its pathogenesis. To
B cells are postulated to be central in seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we use exploratory mass cytometry (n = 23) and next-generation sequencing (n = 19) to study B-cell repertoire shifts in RA patients. Expression of several B
We aimed to investigate the effects of ambient respiratory viral infections in the general population on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) development. Data of weekly incident RA (2012–2013) were obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance claims databas
To calculate the average age- and sex-specific annual incidence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) linked to clinically important levels of health status after 10 years, and to study time trends in 10-year disease status during a 6-year period. Patients between 20 and 79 years of age with onset ...
