New Directions in Arthritis Treatment and Research
A multi expert panel reports on rheumatoid versus osteoarthritis, noting the non progressive nature of osteoarthritis and the core inflammatory nature of rheumatoid arthritis. Drugs like Plaquenil gold salts and penicillamine offer remission but carry toxicity and slow onset. New surgical hip replacements show success, lupus arthritis improves with better control, and research on cartilage hydration and proteoglycans offers future drug avenues. NIH work targets lymphocyte removal to reduce joint inflammation and better track disease activity for rheumatoid arthritis.
