Multiplicity of rheumatoid factor [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1965 AbstractThe reactions between rheumatoid factor and erythrocytes sensitized by antibodies of human, rabbit and guinea pig origin were studied using absorption, elution, dispersion, inhibition and mixed agglutination experiments. The results indicated that there are separate molecules of the rheumatoid factor combining with γ‐globulin of the three ...

New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

Pain pathogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis -- what have we learned from animal models [PDF]
PAIN 2018 Sep; 159 Suppl:S98-S109, 2019 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and joint pain. Much of RA treatment is focused on suppressing inflammation, with the idea being that if inflammation is controlled other symptoms, such as pain, will disappear. However, pain is the most common complaint of RA patients, is often still present
