2. 1. Extra-articular Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk Factors and Consequences

   Author : Britt-Marie Nyhall-Wahlin; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiographic progression; disease activity burden; smoking; rheumatoid nodules; Rheumatoid arthritis; extra-articular manifestations; TNF-inhibitor treatment;

   Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease not only restricted to the joints, but can also be associated with the development of extra-articular manifestations. Extra-articular RA (ExRA) is of clinical importance because of the associated morbidity and increased risk of premature mortality compared with RA patients in general. READ MORE

   Abstract : Peri-implantitis is characterized by inflammatory lesions in peri-implant tissues and loss of supporting bone. The aims of the present series of studies were to analyze (i) spontaneous progression and (ii) the effect of surgical treatment of experimental peri-implantitis at different types of implants. Labrador dogs were used. READ MORE

6. 4. Early rheumatoid arthritis : biomarkers and hormonal factors in relation to disease progression

   Author : Antonia Boman; Solbritt Rantapää-Dahlqvist; Ewa Berglin; Gerd-Marie Alenius; Mikael Brink; Heidi Kokkonen; Inger Gjertsson; Umeå universitet; []

   Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease, affecting approximately 0.5 to 1% of the adult population. Although the aetiology is not fully known, a complex interaction between genetic, environmental and stochastic factors is thought to trigger the pathogenic mechanisms. READ MORE

7. 5. Quantitative Imaging-Biomarker in Prostate Cancer. Validation of Automated Bone Scan Index in the Context of Radiographic Disease Progression in Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

   Author : Aseem Undvall Anand; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Background: Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a bone dominant lethal disease. Progression in bone scan of mCRPC disease is assessed with the Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) two and three criteria, which relies on the appearance of two or more new lesions. READ MORE
