Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis What is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis? Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is arthritis that causes joint inflammation and stiffness for more than 6 weeks in a child of 16 years of age or less. Inflammation causes redness, swelling, warmth, and soreness in the joints, although many children with JRA do not complain of joint pain. Any joint can be affected and inflammation may limit the mobility of affected joints. How Is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Different From Adult Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Index Spanish version Illustration Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling, and sometimes joint deformity. It occurs most commonly in the fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, jaw, hips, knees, and toes. It usually affects the same joint on both sides of the body (for example, both hips). Rheumatoid arthritis often appears first in early adulthood or middle age. However, sometimes it does not occur until the later years. There may be one single attack, but more often the condition comes and goes in repeated episodes. The disease cannot be cured, but medicine can reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.
HAND SURGERY FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS HAND SURGERY FOR rheumatoid arthritis. rheumatoid arthritis is the commonest disorderof connective tissues. It has an incidence of 13% of the population. http://www.pncl.co.uk/~belcher/rasurg.htm
Extractions: Rheumatoid arthritis is the commonest disorder of connective tissues. It has an incidence of 1-3% of the population. It is three times more common in women. The principal target tissue is synovium which lines both joints and tendons. 90% of affected patients have involvement of the upper limb. Early disease usually presents as polyarthritis (arthritis of many joints) characterised by pain and swelling. If the disease remains active, irreversible damage can occur. This causes stiffness, deformity and instability. To see typical radiographic changes, click on the screen (75KB file) In the early stages, treatment is supervised by your Rheumatologist. Management consists mainly of anti-inflammatory drugs and sometimes more specific anti-rheumatoid drugs. During this time you may be referred to a Hand Therapist. She will give you advice about protecting your joints. She may also provide you with splints to prevent deformity or to rest inflamed joints. Occasionally, surgery is needed in the early stages to correct: (see X-ray) . These are associated with functional problems such as loss of movement and poor grip. The need for surgery is assessed individually, often jointly by Surgeon, Rheumatologist and Hand Therapist. Factors taken into account are:

The authors review the latest drug therapy options and treatment plans, with an emphasis on patient education, communication, and involvement. N umerous drugs and other measures have been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Throughout history, purveyors of antirheumatic therapies have enjoyed lucrative careers catering to the 2% of the world's population affected by this debilitating disease. Unfortunately for Pierre August Renoir, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and the countless millions who have suffered the ravages of rheumatoid arthritis, treatments improving long-term outcome have only recently become available. Rheumatoid arthritis is not a benign disease. A 25-year prospective study (1) showed that median life expectancy is shortened by 7 years in males and 3 years in females. A significant decline in functional status also occurs over time. About 50% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis cannot function in their jobs within 10 years of disease onset. According to one study, (2) 48% of patients with a recent diagnosis were highly functional compared with 17% who had had the disease for 12 years. An important discovery was that joint destruction occurs early in disease (3). Within 3 years of onset, 70% of patients show radiographic damage, which is more pronounced during the first year of disease than during the second or third year.

Extractions: (Redirected from Rheumatoid arthritis Arthritis (from Greek arthro- , joint + -itis , inflammation) is a group of conditions that affect the health of the bone joints in the body. One in three adult Americans suffer from some form of Arthritis and the disease affects about twice as many women as men. Arthritic diseases include rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, which are autoimmune diseases ; septic arthritis, caused by joint infection; and the more common osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease. Arthritis can be caused from strains and injuries caused by repetitive motion, sports, overexertion, and falls. Unlike the autoimmune diseases, osteoarthritis largely affects older people and results from the degeneration of joint cartilage. Arthritis may also be caused by gout Arthritic joints can be sensitive to weather changes. The increased sensitivity is thought to be caused by the affected joints developing extra nerve endings in an attempt to protect the joint from further damage. Table of contents 1 Types of Arthritis
Fasting And Vegetarian Diet In Rheumatoid Arthritis Fasting and vegetarian diet in rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical observationhas been that diet may improve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/Arthritis/fastRA.html
Extractions: @import "../../styles/advanced.css"; Skip navigation Few trials likely to be bias free (randomised, blind), and valid (longer duration) exist. The results are mixed, but a cautious interpretation may be that there is no evidence of lack of effect, while what evidence we have suggests some benefit. Clinical observation has been that diet may improve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. The biology underlying any dietary influences is not exact. Some food additives are taken by patients with RA. It has also become traditional in some centres for patients to fast, followed by a vegan or vegetarian diet with add-back of foods not associated with symptom worsening. This may be accompanied by holistic approaches involving physiotherapy, exercise, and psychotherapy. A systematic review has examined the evidence-base for fasting and vegetarian diet. Only MEDLINE was searched (up to 1997), and reference lists checked. Criteria for inclusion were trials with follow-up information for at least three months, and full journal publication. The review detected 31 reports. Only one was randomised. A further randomised report with just under three months duration was also included. The other reports were observational studies, or controlled studies. Most were very small, with few having more than 30 patients in total, or 30 patients per group. The main findings in each study are reported, including clinical and biochemical or immunological findings.

Modular Nutrition Inflammatory Arthritis Center Alpha Health Education Topics from the Book of Arthritis Arthritis Rescue Food Causes Rheumatoid Arthritis ... Order Arthritis Rescue Starter Pack Many of our readers are arthritic sufferers or have loved ones who are suffering. Some are newly diagnosed and are beginning the search for information and guidance. Others have had arthritis for some time and are disappointed with treatments offered them. Many have read both the orthodox literature and popular books or magazine articles with claims of arthritis cures. Try Diet Revision We think that inflammatory arthritis is often caused by immune responses to food materials and encourage everyone with arthritis to give diet revision a try. There is clash between orthodox opinion and the ideas that flourish in the community at large. Many books and magazine articles over many years have championed nutritional approaches to solving arthritis. The main problem with common diet advice is that book and magazine articles often get the story mixed up and good ideas are entangled with bad ideas. Food ideas are also mixed up with commercial hyperbole and diet advice often is contradictory and confusing. At the same time, advice about diet from the major institutions can be misleading and often discourages any self-directed effort to seek a solution through diet revision. The truth of arthritis probably lies someone in the middle. The institutional advice ignores a body of scientific evidence that should be of great interest to the arthritis patient and his or her MD. We urge the reader to spend the time required to understand good scientific hypotheses which lead to practical, common sense approaches to diet management in arthritis. In the pages found at this web site, the key concepts are discussed.

Extractions: Many Doctors And Medicines Claim To Help Arthritis- Find Out Why They Don't Work More than 70% of all people in the United States currently suffer from some type of arthritis. This is a staggering number that is on the rise. Every year more than 750,000 new people experience the pain and frustration that comes with arthritis. Many people don't know where to turn other than to their primary care physician. Others try using over-the-counter drugs to no avail. These are only temporary solutions that merely stop the pain for a short period of time- never treating the underlying disease. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. Some types can lead to blindness, deafness, paralysis and even premature death! With so many different types, it is difficult for any doctor to diagnose arthritis properly. Many times they will tell you that you simply have arthritis and to take a common over-the-counter medicine. While these medicines may delay the pain, they do not help it to go away. We would like to show you a way you can get the help you need for your arthritis. That is why we offer a FREE initial evaluation to properly diagnose the problem and offer an effective solution.
