Nanomedical approaches in the realm of rheumatoid arthritis

Andrei-Flavius Radu et al.

Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder characterized by bone and cartilage damage in the synovium, resulting in joint impairment and increased mortality rate. Despite recent improvements in RA treatment, only a small fraction of patients achieve clinical remission without ongoing immunosuppressive drugs. Research on RA nano therapies has increased due to their potential advantages over traditional systemic treatments. Nanotherapeutic techniques, specifically drug delivery nano systems, offer new approaches to overcome the limitations of existing treatments by precisely delivering therapeutic drugs to affected sites.

Prevalence of Malnutrition and Associated Factors in Older Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross-Sectional Study

Laura Cano-Garcia et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the frequency and risk factors of malnutrition in older patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The findings show that approximately one-third of older RA patients have impaired nutritional status, which is associated with factors such as age, inflammatory disease activity, and quality of life. The MNA and GNRI are valuable tools for assessing the nutritional status of patients with RA.

Metabolic syndrome and its effect on the outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis in a multi-ethnic cohort in Singapore

Jia Yi Hee et al.

Summary: The prevalence of MetS in RA patients in Singapore was almost double that in the general population. MetS does not adversely affect RA outcomes but raises the risks of stroke and heart disease. RA patients, especially those older and of Indian and Malay ethnicities, should be routinely screened for MetS and actively control any MetS-defining condition.

Metabolic Syndrome, Disease Activity, and Adipokines in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Inflammatory Joint Diseases

Aulikki Kononoff et al.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome was common in patients with newly diagnosed arthritides and associated with higher disease activity and increased leptin levels. Treatment of arthritis in RA and UA led to decreased leptin levels, while increased adiponectin levels correlated with relief in disease activity in SpA.

Metabolic syndrome in rheumatoid arthritis patients: Relationship among its clinical components

Mariel Garcia-Chagollan et al.

Summary: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients from western Mexico is not significantly higher than controls. However, in RA patients with MetS, some inflammatory markers are related to MetS components.

Targeting Probiotics in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Simona Gabriela Bungau et al.

Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive inflammatory disorder that can be caused by genetic, environmental, and gut microbiota imbalance factors. Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus, may help alleviate RA symptoms and could be a potential therapeutic option for treatment.
