Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who have inadequate response to anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) therapy currently have treatment options that are limited and less than optimal in their risk-to-benefit ratio. Abatacept provides a new generation of RA medications that has previously been demonstrated to have positive clinical outcomes with this population. The current study sought to demonstrate the efficacy of abatacept on quality of life (QoL) for RA patients with inadequate response to anti-TNF therapy.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) should start treatment early with the aim of suppressing the inflammatory process completely. It is not known if this strategy should, or can, be continued in later disease.
511. Thymus alterations and systemic sclerosis.
作者: C Ferri.;M Colaci.;L Battolla.;D Giuggioli.;M Sebastiani.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2006年45卷1期72-5页
The pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc) includes complex alterations to the immune system, possibly responsible for diffuse microvasculature and fibroblast dysfunction. Previous anecdotal observations suggest a possible role for thymus alterations in some autoimmune rheumatic diseases, including SSc. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of radiological thymus alterations in SSc patients.
512. A cost consequences analysis of local corticosteroid injection and physiotherapy for the treatment of new episodes of unilateral shoulder pain in primary care.

Local steroid injections and community-based physiotherapy have been shown to be of similar benefit for treating shoulder pain presenting to primary care. This paper presents a cost consequences analysis of a prospective economic evaluation, conducted alongside a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of corticosteroid injections versus physiotherapy for new episodes of unilateral shoulder pain, to determine the economic implications of injection versus physiotherapy.
