Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at an increased risk for lymphoma compared to the general population, with the risk increasing in proportion to cumulative exposure to systemic inflammation. Whether RA therapies, such as biologic and non-biologic DMARDs, contribute to this risk is controversial.
Brain Centers Responsible for Emotion and Fear Process OA Pain
Pain perception in osteoarthritis (OA) is complex, with the intensity of pain reported in affected individuals often with little correlation to structural damage. Few studies have explored the neural networks responsible for processing pain in OA.
High rates of continuation for RA patients switched to second TNF inhibitor
A strong association between chondrocalcinosis, resulting from calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition, and knee osteoarthritis (OA) is firmly established. However, despite the association, a causative pathogenic role for CPPD crystals on the progression of articular degeneration in the knee has not been definitively demonstrated.

No Definite Link between Dietary Protein Intake and Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk
Although compelling, no clear-cut links between dietary factors and the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been confirmed. Recent investigations have implicated increased consumption of red meat as a risk factor for incident inflammatory arthritis.
