Previous research has demonstrated a variety of health benefits associated with the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in olive oil, cereals, fruit and vegetables, fish, and a moderate amount of dairy, meat, and wine. Now results from an analysis published in Arthritis & Rheumatology suggest that the diet may also help prevent rheumatoid arthritis in individuals who smoke or...
(Reuters) – Eli Lilly and Co said on Monday its rheumatoid arthritis drug shortened the recovery time for hospitalized COVID-19 patients also given Gilead Sciences Inc’s antiviral remdesivir. Lilly said its drug, baricitinib, branded as Olumiant, in combination with remdesivir cut the median recovery time by about a day, compared to patients treated with remdesivir...

In a clinical trial of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, treatment with a drug called upadacitinib provided greater benefits than methotrexate, the most commonly used initial therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. Upadacitinib inhibits certain proteins called Janus kinase enzymes that are involved in inflammation. It’s approved for treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis, but only after they’ve tried...
Ingrid Hein June 18, 2018 AMSTERDAM — A blood test for people at risk for rheumatoid arthritis can identify those who will develop the disease within 3 years, new research shows. “Our data support a new biomarker that demonstrates better predictive power than other biomarkers evaluated so far,” said investigator Anne Musters, MD, from the...

WALTER AND ELIZA HALL INSTITUTE Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers have revealed new details about how joint inflammation evolves in rheumatoid arthritis, and the cells that prolong the inflammatory attack. In both laboratory models and human clinical samples, the research team pinpointed immune cells called natural killer (NK) cells as an unexpected source of...
by Medical University of Vienna Just like other multinuclear giant cells, osteoclasts require enhanced energy metabolism for bone breakdown. The findings of this study now demonstrate that increases in osteoclast metabolism cannot be achieved in the absence of arginine. Rheumatoid arthritis is a common inflammatory joint disease. A feature of this disease is the increased...
Researchers led by a team from Osaka University find a link between the gut microbiome, the host genome, and rheumatoid arthritis in Japanese patients OSAKA UNIVERSITY Osaka, Japan – One of the most astounding discoveries of recent times is just how much influence gut bacteria have on our health and well-being. In addition to extracting...
