Abstract

In 2005, after an epidemic infection of Chikungunya fever in islands in the Indian Ocean, infected patients exhibited severe musculoskeletal disorders. We report 21 cases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) after Chikungunya infection that were diagnosed at a rheumatological centre in Reunion Island. Patients were examined by the same rheumatologist from February 2006 to July 2007. Inclusion criteria were (1) Chikungunya infection confirmed by IgM and IgG antibodies, (2) RA according to ACR criteria, (3) no other definite diagnosis of arthritis and (4) persistent arthritis symptoms from the onset of viral infection to RA diagnosis. Twenty-one patients (13 females; mean age, 57+/-12 years) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Eighteen patients (85.7%) had symmetric polyarthritis and three had oligoarthritis. The mean symptom duration was 10 months (range 4-18). The mean ESR was 40.7+/-28.1 mm/hr and C-reactive protein level 37+/-41 mg/l; 12 patients were positive for rheumatoid factor (57.1%), and six had anti-CCP antibodies (28.6%) and 14 HLA DRB1*04 or 01 alleles (66.6%). Radiographs of hands and feet of 12 patients showed erosions and/or joint space narrowing (JSN). During a mean follow-up of 27.6+/-6.4 months, all patients were treate...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
