Effect of a small molecule inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB nuclear translocation in a murine model of arthritis and cultured human synovial cells [PDF]
A small cell-permeable compound, dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin (DHMEQ), does not inhibit phosphorylation and degradation of IκB (inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB [NF-κB]) but selectively inhibits nuclear translocation of activated NF-κB.

A Sub-pixel Accurate Quantification of Joint Space Narrowing Progression in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects peripheral synovial joints, like fingers, wrist and feet. Radiology plays a critical role in the diagnosis and monitoring of RA. Limited by the current spatial resolution of radiographic imaging, joint space narrowing (JSN) progression of RA with the same reason above can ...

Employing Feature Selection Algorithms to Determine the Immune State of a Mouse Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]
The immune response is a dynamic process by which the body determines whether an antigen is self or nonself. The state of this dynamic process is defined by the relative balance and population of inflammatory and regulatory actors which comprise this decision making process. The goal of immunotherapy as applied to, e.g. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), then,

Infectious arthritis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]
Eleven cases of infectious arthritis occurring in patients with rheumatoid arthritis are reported. Staphylococcus aureus was the causative organism in eight patients. Streptococcus anginosus and Streptococcus agalactiae in one patient each, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in two patients.

A Deep Registration Method for Accurate Quantification of Joint Space Narrowing Progression in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that results in progressive articular destruction and severe disability. Joint space narrowing (JSN) progression has been regarded as an important indicator for RA progression and has received sustained attention. In the diagnosis and monitoring of RA, radiology plays a crucial role

Examining the Association Between Traditional and Mainstream Medicine and the Prevalence of Arthritis in the Urban Indigenous Population Living in Toronto [PDF]
Background: In the Indigenous community, the prevalence of arthritis is 1.3 to 1.6 times higher than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Moreover, minimal population health information on urban Indigenous peoples is available.

Osteoclasts and Arthritis [PDF]
INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS TYPICALLY presents as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, which may be of short duration. For example, parvovirus B 19 infection, attended by painful polyarticular swelling, generally resolves spontaneously within 2 wk without joint destruction.
