treatments and medicines can help to prevent deformity of the joints. The rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune system that can begin in any age, usually give the person inflammation in the joints in the synovial membrane, but can also affect other organs in the body the eyes, the lungs, and the heart.

bronchitis, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, and renal colic. Aim of the study: In the present study, the anti-inflammatory activity of hydro-alcoholic extract from aerial parts of N. officinale was investigated in acute and sub¬¬-acute models of inflammation. Materials and methods: Different models like carageenan induced hind paw edema in rats, formalin induced paw edema in rats and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) evoked ear edema in mice were used for studying the anti-inflammatory…

Using infliximab to treat Crohn’s disease Introduction Crohn’s disease is a type of IBD that causes inflammation in any part gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. In response to this inflammation, the body’s immune system attacks the GI tract (Dessein, 2008). The progression of this chronic inflammatory disease is brought about by the action of several cellular processes and pro-inflammatory mediators (Poggioli, 2007). Because there is no single factor that can be targeted to…

would cause immune abnormalities to develop into localized tissue and joint inflammation (McCance & Huether, 2014) . During inflammation, arginine can be enzymatically modified into another amino acid, citrulline, this process, citrullination, changes the structure and function of the protein (McCance & Huether, 2014) . Other proteins, like fibrin and vimentin, can become citrullinated during cell death and tissue inflammation (McCance & Huether, 2014) . The citrullincated proteins can be…

Your joints allow your skeleton to move. Your shoulders, elbows, hips and knees are places where your bones meet. Joint pain may be caused by many conditions and mainly consists of soreness, aches and discomfort in the area where the bones join. Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain as is injury or illness. There are two main forms of arthritis, which are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

provide locomotion. The changes in the normal structure occurs when the white blood cell that act as a body immune system attacks the joint tissues, which causes the joint tissues to suffer inflammation or also known as synovitis. Synovitis is the condition where warmth, redness, swelling, and pain occur. The inflammation process, causes the normally thin synovium becomes thicken and makes the joint swollen and sometimes warm to the touch. The thickness of the synovium will lead to an abnormal…

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that recognize the body’s own tissues as foreign invaders. Autoimmune disease is a disorder in which the immune system fights the body’s own cells causing inflammation and organ damage (William C. Shiel Jr., 2016). Inflammation includes swelling, redness, increased blood flow and tissue destruction. This disease usually involves skin, joints, kidneys, blood cells and nervous system (William C. Shiel…

²The first documented case was in 1859 by English physician Alfred Baring Garrod, completed “The Nature and Treatment of Gout and Rheumatic Gout”. ³One of his ten propositions in this book stated firmly and clearly that the gout inflammation was caused by the deposited urate of soda (uric acid), and no other that an excess of uric acid (today we’d call it hyperuricemia) led to crystallization and…

to face this pain in an early stage of their lives due to excessive stress put on the joints. The inflammation of bursa is known as bursitis. In our body we have over 150 bursa sacs. These fluid-filled sacs keep the joints lubricated and cushioned between bones and the tendons and muscles near the joints. It makes movement of the joint smooth as butter, avoiding any kind of friction. Due to inflammation bursa cannot play the same part of cushioning and lubricating the joints. In this situation…
