How to Manage, Treat Anemia of Inflammation in Patients with Rheumatic Disease

Ruth Jessen Hickman, MD  |  December 17, 2017

Anemia is common in patients with systemic rheumatic disease, yet it may not get the attention it deserves. Anemia can result from chronic inflammation, treatment side effects or other disease factors, or it may signal an unrelated condition. Although diagnosis and treatment of anemia are sometimes challenging, clinicians must do their utmost to rigorously investigate…

Bipolar Disorder, Nailfold Capillaroscopy Score, Urban Location Among Risk Factors for Developing Lupus

Thomas R. Collins  |  October 17, 2017

MADRID—Researchers have found that systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is independently linked with bipolar disorder and say the findings point to a need for greater awareness of psychiatric problems in patients with SLE. In work led by investigators at Tel Aviv University in Israel and presented at the 2017 Annual European Congress on Rheumatology (EULAR), researchers…

Preclinical Phases of Rheumatoid Arthritis Better Understood

Thomas R. Collins  |  October 10, 2016

LONDON—Research continues to advance in understanding the causes, prediction and management of the stages of early arthritis before full-blown clinical disease, and an expert highlighted some of the latest of these encouraging findings at the Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) 2016. Many of the genetic and environmental risk factors are known,…

Scleritis Often Diagnosed by Ophthalmologists, But Rheumatologists Help Determine Systemic Causes

Vanessa Caceres  |  March 15, 2016

Ophthalmologists may be more likely to initially diagnose and treat scleritis, an inflammation of the scleral tissues of the eye. However, rheumatologists need to remain aware of the condition as well: It’s commonly associated with rheumatic disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Scleritis can present in the eye anteriorly or posteriorly. “Anterior scleritis can be…

2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting: RA Pathogenesis and Prevention

Mary Beth Nierengarten  |  February 17, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO—Evolving research into the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is increasingly showing that rather than a single causative dysfunctional pathway leading to disease, multiple pathways are involved, the study of which can shed additional light on what is occurring in a person’s body prior to developing symptoms of disease. Saying it another way, no…

Research in Temporal Arteritis Suggests Link with Infection, Autoimmune Disease

Shamik Bhattacharyya, MD, MS  |  November 16, 2015

Temporal arteritis was first described by Sir Jonathan Hutchinson in 1890 in an elderly retired gentleman’s servant who developed red, painful streaks on his temples and was found to have bilaterally swollen temporal arteries with feeble pulses.1 Sir Hutchinson disputed the suggestion that the red streaks were caused by the man’s hat and, instead, called…

Research Into Causes of Systemic Vasculitis May Lead to Targeted Treatments Say Rheumatologists at the 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting

Mary Beth Nierengarten  |  March 1, 2014

Studies focused on role of the immune system in disease development, and contributing genetic and environmental factors, may elicit better therapeutic approaches to small- and large-vessel vasculitis

Causes of Alopecia Can Vary Among Patients with Systemic Disease Say Experts at the 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting

Susan Bernstein  |  March 1, 2014
