A Study to Observe Characteristics of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Patients Using Infliximab (Study P04250)...
Rheumatoid ArthritisThis 14-week non-interventional study will observe patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are being treated with infliximab for the first time, in order to learn about their disease characteristics. Patients in this study will be treated for RA with infliximab and in a usual manner as decided by their physician.

Registry for African Americans With Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid ArthritisThe purpose of this study is to better understand the causes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), particularly in African Americans.
Specimen Collection for Individuals With Lung Disease Associated With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Pulmonary FibrosisRheumatoid ArthritisPulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a condition in which the lungs of a patient become scarred and fibrous. It has been known to occur in as many as 40% of patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The cause of the pulmonary fibrosis in patients with RA is unknown. Researchers hope to improve their understanding of the disease process involved in PF and RA by analyzing specimens collected by bronchoscopy, lung biopsy, lung transplantation, or autopsy from patients with these conditions. The purpose of this study is to collect specimens from rheumatoid arthritis patients with and without pulmonary fibrosis as well as patients with pulmonary fibrosis without associated diseases or cause (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis).
Impact of Anti-citrullinated Protein Antibody Status on Treatment Response and Treatment Persistence...
Rheumatoid ArthritisAn observational study assessing the impact of anti-citrullinated antibody (ACPA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participants who have received abatacept or tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) from the Optimising Patient outcome in Australian rheumatoLogy (OPAL) registry
Circulating microRNAs as Novel Prognosis Biomarkers for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rh DiseaseThe correlation of circulating serum miR-125ba and miR-146a expression and clinical response to green tea therapy were analysed in RA patients.Clinical response to green tea therapy for 24 weeks was calculated from DAS28 scores. Whereas , a decrease of 1.2 points or above in DAS28 scores at 24 weeks of treatment compared with baseline was defined as clinical response according to the EULAR response criteria.A ready-made solutions containing the primers and probes for human miR-146a and miR-125ba (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and real-time RT-PCR was estimated using an ABI 7300 system (Applied Bio systems).

ArthritisRheumatoidThis study is to characterize the use of tofacitinib after use of rituximab in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in a real-world setting.
14.0- 3.0- 3.0- η Protein With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Disease ActivityAim of work: to explore the potential association between serum 14.0-3.0-3.0- η protein level with disease activity and bone mineral density (BMD) in Egyptian patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). 188 patients with RA and 192 matched controls were enrolled. The RA activity parameters were evaluated in RA patients. BMD was measured. Serum level of 14.0- 3.0- 3.0- η protein and IL_.6 were estimated for all participants by ELISA.
