Rheumatoid arthritis patients likely to experience cardiovascular benefits from statins   Results from a large clinical trial indicate that patients with rheumatoid arthritis are likely to experience the same level of cardiovascular benefits from statins as other individuals, without additional risks.

Treating and Managing Reactive Arthritis (ReA)   Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a painful inflammatory joint disease. ReA occurs as a reaction to infection caused by a gastrointestinal or genitourinary pathogen such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, or Yersinia.         Biomolecular researcher provides comprehensive profile of B cells in rheumatoid arthritis   Biomolecular researcher Navin Varadarajan has published in Arthritis & Rheumatology journal a first-of-its-kind study - a comprehensive profile of B cells in rheumatoid arthritis.

What is Polymyalgia Rheumatica?   Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a rheumatic disease characterized by recurrent inflammatory episodes. PMR is usually seen in Caucasians living in Northern Europe and North America. The condition generally affects people over the age of 50 years (with average patient age being above 70 years), and is more common in women than men.       Stem cells from patient's own bone marrow holds great potential for osteoarthritis   Stem cells collected from the patient's own bone marrow holds great interest as a potential therapy for osteoarthritis of the knee because of their ability to regenerate the damaged cartilage.       Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation improves disease symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis   Bioelectronic medicine scientists at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research collaborated with counterparts from Academic Medical Center at University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands to carry out a series of pilot clinical studies to assess the effect of a novel bioelectronic stimulation.       What is Takayasu Arteritis?   Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare condition characterized by a cascade of inflammatory processes. TAK involves vasculitis or inflammation of blood vessels such as the aorta and its major branches. Inflammation of these blood vessels leads to thickening of the walls of the vessels, which, in turn, causes stenosis and ultimately ischemia of the body parts which are nourished by these vessels.       What is Spondyloarthritis?   Spondyloarthritis is a group of inflammatory joint diseases that affect the spine and, in some cases, the peripheral joints of the arms and legs. Some forms of spondyloarthritis may also involve the skin, intestines and eyes.       Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition and Joint Problems   Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPDD) disease is characterized by the accumulation of calcium crystals in the cartilage tissues of the joints. The crystal deposits cause inflammation of the affected joint, and in severe cases it leads to cartilage rupture.       Osteonecrosis Causes, Diagnosis and Management   Osteonecrosis is also called avascular necrosis of the bone. It refers to the condition in which part of a bone dies because its blood supply is interrupted.
