Prognostic significance of paraproteinaemia in rheumatoid arthritis.
The incidence of lymphoma and myeloma is increased in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), though the reasons for this are incompletely understood. The predictive value of monoclonal gammopathy in RA for the later development of lymphoproliferative malignancy was assessed. A serum paraprotein was discovered in 23 patients (14 female) with a median age of 58 years and a median duration of RA of six years....
متن کاملAnti-Sa antibodies: prognostic and pathogenetic significance to rheumatoid arthritis
Anti-Sa antibodies are detected in the serum of 20-47% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These antibodies have a high degree of specificity for the disease, and appear to identify a subset of early rheumatoid arthritis patients destined to have aggressive and destructive disease. It has recently been confirmed that anti-Sa antibodies are directed to citrullinated vimentin, thus placing the...

بیماری روماتیسم قلبی یکی از شایعترین علل مرگ و میر ناشی از بیماریهای قلبی و عروقی در کشورهای در حال توسعه می باشد. براساس بررسیهای انجام شده، میزان شیوع بیماری در جامعه و مدارس از ۱ الی ۲۲ در هر هزار نفر کودک می باشد. تخمین زده میشود که تعداد مبتلایان به بیماریهای مزمن روماتیسم قلبی در کشورهای در حال توسعه ۳۰ میلیون و در کشورهای صنعتی ۱ / ۵ میلیون باشد. بسیاری از موارد مرگ و میر ناشی از این بیم...
متن کاملComparing bone mineral density in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Background: Changes in patients’ bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which can be due to the use of corticosteroid drugs to reduce patients' symptoms or due to the aging process in patients. In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of high-mobility group box protein 1 genetic polymorphisms in rheumatoid arthritis disease outcome
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. Analysis of genetic variants offers promise for guiding treatment and improving outcomes in RA. High-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous nuclear protein found in all mammal eukaryotic cells that participates in several biological functions including immune response, cell...
