More African-Americans Burdened By Osteoarthritis in Multiple Large Joints
New research suggests African Americans have a higher burden of multiple, large-joint osteoarthritis (OA), and may not be recognized based on the current definition of “generalized OA.” African Americans were also more likely to have knee...Cleveland Clinic Study Discovers New Targets for Treating Inflammatory, Autoimmune Diseases
Researchers have discovered a cellular pathway that promotes inflammation in diseases like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple sclerosis. Understanding the details of this pathway may provide opportunities...Poor Footwear Linked to Foot Impairment And Disability in Gout Patients
New research shows that use of poor footwear is common among patients with gout. According to the study published today in Arthritis Care & Research, a peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), gout patients who make poor...Cam-type Deformities Linked to MRI Detected Hip Damage in Asymptomatic Young Men
Hip impingement (femoracetabular impingement) may be a risk factor of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. A new study reveals that the presence of an underlying deformity, known as cam impingement, is associated with hip damage in young men without any arthritis...Achieving Realistic Physical Activity Goals Benefits RA Patients
Researchers from The Netherlands report that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have higher levels of self-efficacy for physical activity are more likely to achieve their physical activity goals. According to the study now available in Arthritis...Arthroscopy And Open Surgery are Equally Efficacious in Treating Common Hip Problem in Most Patients
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery have found that in comparison to open surgery, arthroscopic treatment of a common hip problem that leads to arthritis produces similar outcomes in terms of repairing structural problems in most patients. The...Studies Show Vectra DA Can Track Early Response to Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy
Crescendo Bioscience™ has announced data indicating that Vectra™ DA, a first-in-class multi-biomarker blood test used to assess rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity, provides physicians with an objective measure which may help determine whether...Deer Tick Bacteria DNA in Joint Fluid Not Reliable Marker of Active Lyme Arthritis
New research shows that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for Borrelia burgdorferi DNA—the spirochetal bacteria transmitted by deer ticks—in joint fluid may confirm the diagnosis of Lyme arthritis, but is not a reliable indicator for active...
