Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can cause joint pain and damage throughout your body. About 75% of Rheumatoid arthritis patients are women. In fact, 1 – 3% of women may get rheumatoid arthritis in their lifetime. The disease most often begins between the ages of 30 and 50. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system attacks the synovium, the lining of the membranes that surround your joints. The resulting inflammation thickens the synovium, which can eventually destroy the cartilage and bone within the joint. The tendons and ligaments that hold the joint together wea

Bone is one of the key components of the musculoskeletal system. Bone and joint disease are the fourth most widespread disease, in addition to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, which seriously affect people’s quality of life. Bone organoids seem to be a great model by which to promote the research method, which further could improve the treatment of bone and joint disease in the future. Here, we introduce the various bone and joint diseases and their biology, and the conditions of organoid culture, comparing the in vitro models among 2D, 3D, and organoids. We summarize the differin

Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, swelling, and destruction of joints.

Animal models have proved to be of considerable importance in elucidating mechanisms underlying joint damage in osteoarthritis (OA) and providing proof of concept in the development of pharmacologic and biologic agents that may modify structural damage in the OA joint.

Characterization of long-term disease dynamics, from disease-free to end-stage, is integral to understanding the course of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and ultimately, how best to intervene.

We propose a latent time joint mixed effects model to characterize long-term disease dynamics using this short-term data.

Abstract:
Joint models are rich and flexible models for analyzing longitudinal data with nonignorable missing data mechanisms. This article proposes a Bayesian random-effects joint model to assess the evolution of a longitudinal process in terms of a linear mixed-effects model that accounts for heterogeneity between the subjects, serial correlation, and measurement error. Dropout is modeled in terms of a survival model with competing risks and left truncation. The model is applied to data coming from ReVaPIR, a project involving children with chronic kidney disease whose evolution is mainly assessed thr

Exercise therapy inhibits joint destruction by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines. The efficacy of pharmacotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis differs depending on the phase of the disease, but that of exercise therapy for each phase is unknown. We assessed the differences in the efficacy of treadmill running on rheumatoid arthritis at various phases, using rat rheumatoid arthritis models. Rats with collagen-induced arthritis were used as rheumatoid arthritis models, and the phase after immunization was divided as pre-arthritis and established phases.

Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by joint inflammation, swelling and pain. Although RA mainly affects the joints, the disease can also have systemic implications. The presence of autoantibodies, such as anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies and rheumatoid factors, is a hallmark of the disease. RA is a significant cause of disability worldwide associated with advancing age, genetic predisposition, infectious agents, obesity and smoking, among other risk factors. Currently, RA treatment depends on anti-inflammatory and disease-modifying

Abstract:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of the joints, characterized by cartilage deterioration and subchondral bone changes. Interestingly, these changes to the joint phenotype in OA are influenced by signalling pathways that are normal to limb development. For example, chondrocytes found in the articular cartilage of joints are under influence of beta-catenin signalling, chondrocytes of growth plate cartilage are regulated by hedgehog signalling, and bone formation involves both beta-catenin and hedgehog signalling. We hypothesize that modulating these signalling pathways in OA

In clinical and epidemiological studies, when the time-to-event(s) and the longitudinal outcomes are associated, modelling them separately may give biased estimates. A joint modelling approach is required to obtain unbiased results and to evaluate their association. In the joint model, a subject may be exposed to more than one type of failure event (competing risks). Considering the competing event as an independent censoring of the time-to-event process may underestimate the true survival probability and give biased results.
