Driving chronicity in rheumatoid arthritis: perpetuating role of myeloid cells [PDF]
Acute inflammation is a complex and tightly regulated homeostatic process that includes leukocyte migration from the vasculature into tissues to eliminate the pathogen/injury, followed by a pro-resolving response promoting tissue repair.

Efficacy of B-cell-targeted therapy with rituximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: An open-label study indicated that selective depletion of B cells with the use of rituximab led to sustained clinical improvements for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. To confirm these observations, we conducted a randomized, double-blind,

Isolation of rheumatoid factors [PDF]
AbstractA method for the separation of rheumatoid factors into two serologically distinct macroglobulins is described. Macroglobulins, reacting with cells coated with human as well as with rabbit gamma globulin, were found to be mainly 19.4S, but occasionally such preparations contained minor constituents sedimenting at 22s as well as 27s ...

Association between antibodies to carbamylated proteins and subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients carry a high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The excess of cardiovascular disease cannot be entirely explained by traditional risk factors and the immune system contributes to the development

Prevalence and predictive factors of difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis: the KURAMA cohort
Difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2T RA) is a multifactorial condition in which disease activity of RA persists despite consecutive treatment with biological or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs).

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 ...
