Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of long-term corticosteroid usage on functional disability in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, regardless of controlled disease activity
Eiichi Tanaka,Ajitha Mannalithara,Eisuke Inoue,Noriko Iikuni,Atsuo Taniguchi,Shigeki Momohara,Gurkirpal Singh,Hisashi Yamanaka +7 more
TL;DR: Frequent steroid usage was associated with significantly higher final J-HAQ scores in early RA patients, even though their disease was managed efficiently by maintaining the DAS28 values under 3.2 over a long-term period.

Clinical and radiological manifestations of the rheumatoid wrist after the Sauvé–Kapandji procedure
TL;DR: The Sauvé–Kapandji (S–K) procedure may stabilize the carpus in the rheumatoid wrist to some extent while maintaining a functionally important range of motion and relieving pain, but it does not stop the disease process and cannot reestablish or maintain carpal height.
Journal ArticleDOI
ITGAV polymorphism and disease susceptibility in a Japanese rheumatoid arthritis population.
Noriko Iikuni,Shu Kobayashi,Katsunori Ikari,Taisuke Tomatsu,Masako Hara,Hisashi Yamanaka,Naoyuki Kamatani,Shigeki Momohara +7 more
TL;DR: A research article by Jacq and colleagues reported an association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the rs3738919-C allele in the ITGAV gene which encodes alphav subunit of the integrin alpha v beta3 in the European Caucasian population.
Journal ArticleDOI
