Liver transplant patients face a substantial risk of bone fractures despite following specialized care protocols, according to new findings.

In a breakthrough study that could reshape long-term treatment strategies for psoriatic arthritis (PsA), researchers have found that a small but significant proportion of patients can achieve and maintain remission without the continued use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

In a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers have shed new light on the optimal timing for mobilization following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of hand fractures.

Healthcare professionals working with people with inflammatory arthritis (IA) report that emotional, economic and social barriers significantly impact patients’ ability to stay employed.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has long been linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk, and new findings using speckle tracking strain ultrasonography reveal the extent of subclinical vascular damage in this patient population.
