Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis link to rheumatoid arthritis and increased depression symptoms

Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is linked to rheumatoid arthritis and increased depression symptoms. It is well known that if a person has one autoimmune disease their risk of developing another is much greater compared to those individuals without an autoimmune disease. Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to develop hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or Hashimoto ...click here to read more

Osteoporosis, bone loss, and fractures due to radiation preventable by consuming dried plums (prunes)

Osteoporosis, bone loss, and fractures due to radiation have been found to be preventable by consuming dried plums (prunes). The study revealed that consuming dried plums may protect against ionizing radiation, which increases oxidative damage in skeletal tissues and leads to an imbalance in bone remodeling. Millions of seniors worldwide are at risk for osteoporosis ...click here to read more

Anti-aging breakthrough, human skin cell enzyme opens new pathway for treatment

A new anti-aging breakthrough uses human skin cell enzymes to open a new pathway for treatment. The researchers from Newcastle University tracked the activity of a key metabolic enzyme found in the batteries of the human skin declines as we age. The new breakthrough brings us closer to powerful anti-aging treatments. The findings also offer ...click here to read more

Rheumatoid arthritis in women, higher mortality risk, symptoms, and treatment

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in women increases the risk of all-cause mortality, compared to women without the disease. Specifically, women with rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to develop respiratory issues. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic condition, which causes pain and stiffness, and limits mobility, too. Inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis doesn’t solely affect the joints. It can ...click here to read more

With the onset of pain, many of us simply take some anti-inflammatory medications a few times a day, which allows us to carry on. Unfortunately though, there is growing evidence that long-term use ...click here to read more

Rheumatoid arthritis and giant cell arteritis incidences linked to solar cycles, study

Rheumatoid arthritis and giant cell arteritis incidences have been linked to solar cycles, a study has found. The research, published in BMJ Open, found a strong correlation of rheumatoid arthritis and giant cell arteritis incidences with periodic solar cycles. Both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are autoimmune conditions in which the body’s ...click here to read more

Osteoporosis risk increases in hyperparathyroidism patients due to excess parathyroid hormone (PTH)

Osteoporosis risk increases in hyperparathyroidism patients due to excess parathyroid hormone (PTH). You probably have heard of the more common thyroid conditions, like hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, but hyperparathyroidism may be something new to you. Well, the prefix ‘hyper’ still insinuates overactive, parathyroid relates to the affected gland, and the suffix ‘ism’ signifies that it is ...click here to read more

Rheumatoid arthritis risk increases with occupational textile dust exposure

Rheumatoid arthritis risk increases with occupational exposure to textile dust. Additionally, occupational dust exposure is also linked to a risk of developing antibodies to rheumatoid arthritis, thus potentially speeding up progression of the disease. The researchers analyzed 910 Malaysian women who were diagnosed with early rheumatoid arthritis and 910 women of similar age without rheumatoid ...click here to read more

Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis pain predicted accurately by knowing health, joint pain, and diabetes status

Many orthopedic surgeons now believe there is evidence that rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis may be predicted through a person’s joint pain, diabetes status, and overall physical health. Research presented to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons shows that an algorithm created to study pain patterns essentially suggests that there is a strong joint pain and ...click here to read more
