Autoimmune rheumatic diseases are considered to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Tobacco smoking has been linked to the development of rheumatic diseases, namely systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, and has been shown to interact with genetic factors to
BACKGROUND
It is not known whether snuff (moist smokeless tobacco) affects disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
OBJECTIVE
This study aims to study the effect of snuff on disease activity and function in Swedish patients with early RA.
METHODS
Between 1992 and 2005, 2800 adult patients were
BACKGROUND
The incidence of severe infections is increased under biologic therapies and the skin is the second localization.
OBJECTIVE
To appraise the factors associated with severe skin infections (SSI) in patients under biologic therapies for inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD).
METHODS

Evidence shows that tobacco smoking interacts with development of rheumatic diseases. Increase in white cells count (leukocytosis) is frequently present, and in smokers, it is considered a biomarker of cardiovascular risk. Aim of the study is to evaluate this biomarker in smokers with rheumatic
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the initial response to treatment and risk of radiographic disease progression in current smokers (S), ex-smokers (EX), and nonsmokers (NS) in a prospective early arthritis cohort and to analyze the influence of smoking cessation on arthritis outcome.

OBJECTIVE
The WHO-ILAR Community Oriented Program for Control of Rheumatic Diseases (COPCORD) primarily aims to estimate the burden of rheumatic-musculoskeletal symptoms/disorders (RMS). We investigated data on pain and disability, perceptions and beliefs in the first rural community based COPCORD
Air pollution consists of a heterogeneous mixture of gasses and particles that include carbon monoxide, nitrates, sulfur dioxide, ozone, lead, toxic by-product of tobacco smoke and particulate matter. Oxidative stress and inflammation induced by inhaled pollutants may result in acute and chronic
Nutrition habits and diet may influence disease development and course. There are no specific recommendations related to rheumatic diseases for a diet that would facilitate treatment. However, some research results suggest that various nutrients may affect the health of patients, especially in the
Alpha-1-antitrypsine (AAT) plasmatic level is higher (p less than 0.01) in 85 chronic inflammatory arthropathies than in 238 non inflammatory arthropathies (2.5+/0.7 versus 2.1+/0.4 g/l). Among 15 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with evaluated phenotype, alleles M2 are less frequent and M3 more frequent
Polysaccharides are essential macromolecules present in all living organisms, and have many kinds of biological activities, such as anti-oxidation, hypoglycemic, enhancing immunity, anti-aging, anti-rheumatism, anti-cancer and so on. In this study, the antiviral activity of polysaccharide peptide

We will study the epidemiologic, clinical, biological, therapeutic, prognostic characteristics and predictive factors of development of nephropathy in ankylosing spondylitis patients. We retrospectively reviewed the medical record of 32 cases with renal involvement among 212 cases of ankylosing
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the clinical spectrum of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA).
METHODS
We report 2 cases of HOA and performed a computer-assisted search of Medline/PubMed for the medical literature from 1960 to June 2008 using the keywords HOA, periostitis, and clubbing. These were also
