Non-Bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Authors: Choi JH, Park JE, Kim JY, Kang T Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is frequently associated with various extra-joint complications. Although rare, thromboembolic complications are associated with high morbidity and mortality. We experienced a very rare case of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) and subsequent embolic stroke in a patient with RA. A 72-year-old male with a 15-year history of RA suddenly developed neurologic symptoms of vomiting and dizziness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed recently developed multiple cerebellar and cerebral lacunar infarctions. Echocardiography showed a ...

Fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis 'may need to be treated separately'
This study highlights the need for better treatments for fatigue, which can be used alongside existing medication. We need to ensure fatigue has recognition from medical professionals so people can get the care they require."Along with pain, fatigue is one of the things that people with arthritis tell us has the biggest impact on their lives, which is why Arthritis Research UK is funding research into coping with the effects of fatigue on a day-to-day basis."

PT251 Strain Analysis by Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Hispanic Cohort
The leading cause of death in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), predominantly acute myocardial infarction, stroke and congestive heart failure. Myocardial strain analysis by speckle-tracking echocardiography is a useful tool for the early detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Data regarding right and left ventricular strain in RA is limited.

I'm a Diabetic, Why is my Shoulder Frozen?
What Is Adhesive Capsulitis? Adhesive capsulitis is a painful, progressive loss of shoulder motion. The shoulder is usually stiff and will not move. This condition is called "frozen shoulder". When a patient presents with adhesive capsulitis, they are unable to move their arm up or turn it to either side either with or without assistance (passive/active range of motion). Typically adhesive capsulitis occurs in approximately 2% of the population and usually affects people 40-60 years of age. Frozen shoulder tends to occur more often in females. The loss of motion occurs due to inflammation, fibrosis, scarring and contractio...

Life Stress and Health: A Review of Conceptual Issues and Recent Findings
Life stress is a central construct in many models of human health and disease. The present article reviews research on stress and health, with a focus on (a) how life stress has been conceptualized and measured over time, (b) recent evidence linking stress and disease, and (c) mechanisms that might underlie these effects. Emerging from this body of work is evidence that stress is involved in the development, maintenance, or exacerbation of several mental and physical health conditions, including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, anxiety disorders, depression, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, human immunodeficiency virus/A...

Turmeric: Nature ’s Miracle Root for Disease
My friends Lelir and Westi in Bali don’t like to go to doctors. Nature is their pharmacy. You see, Lelir is a Balian. That means “herbal healer.” And Westi’s plantation is bursting with healing plants.  But one plant stands out above all the others. Lelir uses it to make a daily immune-boosting elixir as well as an anti-aging facial scrub. Balians use it as an antibiotic and for liver support. They boil it with milk and sugar to treat the common cold and allergies. Rural doctors make it into a paste with lime to ease sore joints. They make drinks to treat fevers and stomach pain. They mix it wi...

Most patients who reach disease remission following anti-TNF therapy continue to report fatigue: results from the British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Conclusion. Despite achieving clinical remission, many RA patients do not achieve complete remission of their fatigue. Therefore, despite being important in overall disease control, reductions in disease activity are not always sufficient to ameliorate fatigue, so other symptom-specific management approaches must be considered for those for whom fatigue does not resolve.

New Building At Brigham And Women ’ s Could Revolutionize Health Care
BOSTON (CBS) – Last week WBZ reported on a new innovative building at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. That building opened its doors to patients Monday for the first time and Dr. Mallika Marshall was there to speak to one of those patients and his surgeons who helped make the building a reality. Plymouth’s George Svajian will never forget that one high school football game more than 50 years ago that destroyed his knee. “I went running down the sideline and as soon as put my leg down, the defensive back hit me right here and my knee felt like it went out,” recalls George. After years of crippling pain, Geor...

The Genetics of Pain
This article aims to review some human pain conditions, both common and rare, and their possible association with ion channels, receptors and the genes involved. Current and ongoing research evidence of the involvement of multiple cellular and molecular pathways in pain, advances in gene therapy and new medications are mentioned, as well as their limitations due to the complexity of pain.

The physiological/pathophysiological significance of Vitamin D in cancer, cardiovascular disorders and beyond.
Abstract Vitamin D, a molecular precursor of the potent steroid hormone calcitriol, has a crucial functions and roles in physiology and pathophysiology. Tellingly, Calcitriol has been shown to regulate various cellular signalling networks and cascades that have crucial role in cancer biology and diagnostics. Mounting lines of evidences from previous clinical and preclinical investigations indicate that the deficiency of vitamin D may contribute to the carcinogenesis risk. Concomitantly, recent reports suggested that significant reduction in the cancer occurrence and progression is more likely to appear after vitam...

Gum disease bug linked to rheumatoid arthritis
Conclusions This research aimed to investigate a possible bacterial origin of rheumatoid arthritis and found one potential candidate – Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aα). It seems these bacteria could cause the high levels of citrullinated proteins which are known to trigger an immune reaction in people with rheumatoid arthritis. However, it's important to put these findings into the right context. Though antibodies against citrullinated proteins, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP), are one of the possible diagnostic findings in people with rheumatoid arthritis – not everyone with rheumatoid arthri...

Carrie Fisher's Death Highlights The Reality Of Heart Disease In Women
Carrie Fisher died early Tuesday morning, four days after suffering a heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles. The actress and author, best known for her iconic role as Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” franchise, was 60 years old.  Experts say that Fisher’s death highlights an important reality about heart disease: It is the leading cause of death among men and women alike in the U.S. While heart disease encompasses many different conditions, a heart attack occurs when coronary arteries become blocked and oxygenated blood can’t reach the heart. About 735,000 Americans have hea...
