TYPES OF CORONARY PLAQUES SLIDESHARE PRESENTATIONBRINCELET M BIJU
Coronary plaques can be broadly categorized into different types based on their composition and characteristics. The main types include:
1. **Fibrous Plaque:**
- *Description:* Composed mainly of smooth muscle cells and collagen.
- *Characteristics:* Generally stable and less prone to rupture.
- *Clinical Significance:* Often associated with early stages of atherosclerosis.
2. **Lipid-rich (Atheromatous) Plaque:**
- *Description:* Contains a lipid core, primarily cholesterol and inflammatory cells.
- *Characteristics:* More prone to inflammation and considered less stable.
- *Clinical Significance:* Increased risk of rupture and thrombus formation.
3. **Calcified Plaque:**
- *Description:* Involves the deposition of calcium within the plaque.
- *Characteristics:* Often associated with stable and less vulnerable plaques.
- *Clinical Significance:* May contribute to arterial stiffness and obstructive disease.
4. **Mixed Plaque:**
- *Description:* Combination of fibrous tissue, lipid core, and calcium.
- *Characteristics:* Exhibits features of both stable and unstable plaques.
- *Clinical Significance:* Variable stability, with potential for progression to more vulnerable states.
5. **Vulnerable or Unstable Plaque:**
- *Description:* Prone to rupture, leading to thrombus formation and acute coronary events.
- *Characteristics:* Thin fibrous cap, large lipid core, and inflammation.
- *Clinical Significance:* High risk of causing myocardial infarction or unstable angina.
6. **Erosion Plaque:**
- *Description:* Endothelial erosion without a rupture of the fibrous cap.
- *Characteristics:* May lead to thrombosis without the classic rupture seen in unstable plaques.
- *Clinical Significance:* Associated with acute coronary syndromes.
Understanding the composition and characteristics of coronary plaques is crucial for risk stratification and determining appropriate treatment strategies. The distinction between stable and unstable plaques is particularly important in predicting the likelihood of adverse cardiovascular events.
What causes anemia in CKD? Anemia in people with CKD often has more than one cause. When your kidneys are damaged, they produce less erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that signals your bone marrow—the spongy tissue inside most of your bones—to make red blood cells.
A cancer of plasma cells.
The plasma cells are a type of white blood cell in the bone marrow. With this condition, a group of plasma cells becomes cancerous and multiplies. The disease can damage the bones, immune system, kidneys and red blood cell count.
Anemia should not be accepted as an inevitable consequence of aging. A cause is found in approximately 80 percent of elderly patients. The most common causes of anemia in the elderly are chronic disease and iron deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, gastrointestinal bleeding and myelodysplastic syndrome are among other causes of anemia in the elderly. Serum ferritin is the most useful test to differentiate iron deficiency anemia from anemia of chronic disease. Not all cases of vitamin B12 deficiency can be identified by low serum levels. The serum methylmalonic acid level may be useful for diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency is effectively treated with oral vitamin B12 supplementation. Folate deficiency is treated with 1 mg of folic acid daily.
Clinical Presentation
Even though the high prevalence of anemia in the elderly makes it a condition that clinicians might expect to find frequently, several features of anemia make it easy to overlook. The onset of symptoms and signs is usually insidious, and many elderly patients adjust their activities as their bodies make physiologic adaptations for the condition. Typical symptoms of anemia, such as fatigue, weakness and dyspnea, are not specific and in elderly patients tend to be attributed to advancing age. Pallor can be a helpful diagnostic clue, but pallor can be hard to detect in the elderly. Conjunctival pallor is a reliable sign, and its presence should prompt the clinician to order blood tests for anemia.6
Aside from conjunctival pallor, few other signs are attributable specifically to anemia. Frequently, patients have signs of a disorder that is made worse by the anemia, such as worsening congestive heart failure, cognitive impairment, dizziness and apathy. Unless clinicians consider anemia as a possibility in the elderly, it can be easily overlooked. Anemia in older persons poses a clinical challenge in daily practice as the population ages. In many cases, 1 or more etiologies are detected, and a thorough investigation immediately leads to the correct diagnosis. In these patients, management is largely dependent on the underlying etiology, and in many cases, anemia can be corrected by interventional therapy independent of age. Good examples are iron, vitamin B12, or folate deficiency. EPO deficiency with or without overt exocrine kidney insufficiency can be detected quite often in older persons. A large number of patients turn out to have an underlying (chronic) inflammatory disease. The concept of a subclinical proinflammatory state called inflammaging may be a good explanation for the development of anemia in senior persons. In other cases, a clonal myeloid or other neoplasm is detected. In a relevant proportion of patients, no underlying cause of anemia is found after a first examination, resulting in the provisional diagnosis of UA. However, in many cases no underlying etiology is found even after a thorough diagnostic workup that includes an ex…
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is the presence of one or more ulcerative lesions in the stomach or duodenum. Etiologies include infection with Helicobacter pylori (most common), prolonged NSAID use (NSAID-induced ulcer), conditions associated with an overproduction of stomach acid (hypersecretory states), and stress. Epigastric pain is a typical symptom of PUD; however, many patients remain asymptomatic. Usually, patients younger than 60 years of age can be managed with a test-and-treat strategy for H. pylori infection or with empirical acid suppression therapy. Older patients and those with high-risk clinical features benefit from an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and biopsies to confirm the diagnosis or rule out differential diagnoses (especially gastric cancer). First-line treatment for most peptic ulcers involves symptom control (e.g., acid-lowering medication), H. pylori eradication therapy, and withdrawal of causative agents. Antisecretory drugs (e.g., proton-pump inhibitors), which reduce stomach acid production, are continued for 4–8 weeks after eradication therapy and may be considered for maintenance therapy if symptoms recur. Surgical intervention may be considered in rare cases. Some patients benefit from endoscopic surveillance, especially if symptoms persist or there is clinical suspicion for malignancy.
Peptic ulcer: a defect in the gastric or duodenal mucosa with a diameter of at least 0.5 cm and a depth that penetrates through the muscularis mucosae [1]
Gastric ulcer: a peptic ulcer of the gastric mucosa, typically located along the lesser curvature in the transitional portion between the corpus and antrum
Duodenal ulcer: a peptic ulcer of the duodenal mucosa, usually located on the anterior or posterior wall of the duodenal bulb
Uterine factor infertility happens when the uterus is not present, the uterus is underdeveloped, or the uterus is present but is nonfunctional.
There are two main causes of uterine factor infertility. These causes include:
Being born without a functioning uterus.
Having the uterus removed (hysterectomy).
OVARIAN APOLEXY, RUPTURE OF YELLOW BODY ,OVARY BLEEDING.BRINCELET M BIJU
Ovarian apoplexy means a sudden rupture in the ovary, commonly at the site of a cyst, accompanied by sudden hemorrhage in the ovarian tissue accompanying by the damage of its integrity and bleeding into abdominal cavity. Ovary rupture may occur in the different phase of menstrual cycle, but the most frequently it occurs in the second phase, thus it is often called “rupture of yellow body”. Other names are ovary hematoma, ovary bleeding, ovary rupture.
Among women operated for abdominal bleeding ovary rupture is revealed in 0.5 – 3% cases only. Among women operated for abdominal bleeding ovary rupture is revealed in 0.5 – 3% cases only.
Among women operated for abdominal bleeding ovary rupture is revealed in 0.5 – 3% cases only. Among women operated for abdominal bleeding ovary rupture is revealed in 0.5 – 3% cases only.
Probability of ovary bleeding is in the physiologic changes observed during menstrual cycle. The processes such as ovulation, intensive vascularization of yellow body, premenstrual ovary hyperemia may lead to forming hematoma, damaging tissue integrity and bleeding to abdominal cavity, its volume may be from 30 – 50ml to 2.0 – 3.0l.
ANEMIC FORM:-Anemic form of ovary rupture is like the clinic of the damaged ectopic pregnancy. Though lack of menstrual delay and other signs subjective and objective of pregnancy indicate the ovary apoplexy, differential diagnosis is needed. USD of pelvic organs is of great importance. It is reasonable to assess echography of the ovary damaged (dimensions, structure) taking into consideration the condition of the other ovary. For apoplexy the damaged ovary is usually of normal size or slightly increased. Liquid inclusion of hypoechogenous or heterogenic structure (yellow body) which diameter doesn’t exceed the size of preovulatory follicle and doesn’t lead to the ovary sizable change is appropriate to the ovary apoplexy. At the same time normal follicular system as liquid inclusions of 4–8 mm in diameter is observed. Depending on the amount of blood loss free liquid is discovered behind of uterus
PAINFUL FORM:-is observed in cases of hemorrhage into tissue of follicle or yellow body without bleeding or with slight bleeding into abdominal cavity.
The disease begins with acute pain at the lower abdomen which is accompanied by nausea and vomiting secondary to the normal body temperature. There are no signs of internal bleeding: color of skin and mucosa is normal, pulse and blood pressure are normal too. The tongue is wet and pure.
Endometritis
Endometritis is an inflammation or irritation of the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). It is not the same as endometriosis.
Causes
Endometritis is caused by an infection in the uterus. It can be due to chlamydia, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, or a mix of normal vaginal bacteria. It is more likely to occur after miscarriage or childbirth. It is also more common after a long labor or C-section.
The risk for endometritis is higher after having a pelvic procedure that is done through the cervix. Such procedures include:
D and C (dilation and curettage)
Endometrial biopsy
Hysteroscopy
Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD)
Childbirth (more common after C-section than vaginal birth)
Endometritis can occur at the same time as other pelvic infections.
Cholemia is a condition caused by the presence of excess bile in the blood. Its symptoms can include somnolence (drowsiness), yellow tinge to skin and whites of eyes, fatigue, nausea and, in extreme cases, coma. It is often an early sign of liver disease.
INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION (ETIOLOGY,PPATHOPHYSIOLOGY,SYMTOMS,COMPLICATIONS,TR...BRINCELET M BIJU
Intracranial hypertension (IH) is a build-up of pressure around the brain. It can happen suddenly, for example, as the result of a severe head injury, stroke or brain abscess. This is known as acute IH. It can also be a persistent, long-lasting problem, known as chronic IH.
Paranoid schizophrenia is characterized by predominantly positive symptoms of schizophrenia, including delusions and hallucinations. These debilitating symptoms blur the line between what is real and what isn't, making it difficult for the person to lead a typical life.
A heart arrhythmia (uh-RITH-me-uh) is an irregular heartbeat. Heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) occur when the electrical signals that coordinate the heart's beats don't work properly. The faulty signaling causes the heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia) or irregularly.
Breastfeeding, or nursing, is the process by which human breast milk is fed to an infant. Human breast milk may be fed to infants directly from the breast, or may be expressed by hand or pumped and fed to the infant. Breastfeeding has a number of benefits to both mother and baby, which infant formula lacks.
Pregnancy is the term used to describe the period in which a fetus develops inside a woman's womb or uterus. Pregnancy usually lasts about 40 weeks, or just over 9 months, as measured from the last menstrual period to delivery
Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot gets lodged in an artery in the lung, blocking blood flow to part of the lung. Blood clots most often start in the legs and travel up through the right side of the heart and into the lungs.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

2. What is arthritis?
• Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints. It
can affect one joint or multiple joints. There
are more than 100 different types of
arthritis, with different causes and treatment
methods. Two of the most common types are
osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis
(RA).
3.
4. What are the symptoms of arthritis?
• Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling are the most common
symptoms of arthritis. Your range of motion may also
decrease, and you may experience redness of the skin
around the joint. Many people with arthritis notice their
symptoms are worse in the morning.
• In the case of RA, you may feel tired or experience a loss
of appetite due to the inflammation the immune
system’s activity causes. You may also become anemic
— meaning your red blood cell count decreases — or
have a slight fever. Severe RA can cause joint deformity
if left untreated.
5. Disease progression:
Stage 1: No destructive changes on x-
rays
Stage 2: Presence of x-ray evidence of
periarticular osteoporosis,
subchondral bone destruction but no
joint deformity
Stage 3: X-ray evidence of cartilage
and bone destruction in addition to
joint deformity and periarticular
osteoporosis.
Stage 4: Presence of bony or fibrous
ankylosis along with stage 3 features.
6.
7. Pathogenesis of arthritis
• Cartilage is a firm but flexible connective tissue in
your joints. It protects the joints by absorbing the
pressure and shock created when you move and put
stress on them. A reduction in the normal amount
of this cartilage tissue cause some forms of
arthritis.
• Normal wear and tear causes OA, one of the most
common forms of arthritis. An infection or injury to
the joints can exacerbate this natural breakdown of
cartilage tissue.Another common form of arthritis,
RA, is an autoimmune disorder.
8. Etiology
• The cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis remains
unknown and can therefore not be prevented. A
simple disorganisation of the immune system can
be at the origin of the body attacking its own
tissue. The evolution of the disease varies from
person to person; sometimes the inflammation can
become systemic, what means that it will expand
and also affect multiple organs, systems or tissues.
• Systemic inflammation and autoimmunity in RA
begin long before the onset of detectable joint
inflammation.
9. Diagnosis
• Blood tests that check for specific types of
antibodies like anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated
peptide), RF (rheumatoid factor), and ANA
(antinuclear antibody) are also common diagnostic
tests.
• Doctors commonly use imaging scans such as X-ray,
MRI, and CT scans to produce an image of your
bones and cartilage. This is so they can rule out
other causes of your symptoms, such as bone spurs.
10. How is arthritis treated?
• Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disorder that has no cure.
All the currently available treatments are geared towards
improving the symptoms and offering a better quality of life.
Treatments that achieve pain relief and the slowdown of the
activity of RA to prevent disability and increase functional
capacity.
• Physical therapists play an integral role in the
nonpharmacologic management of RA.
• Physiotherapy help clients cope with chronic pain and
disability through the design of programs that address
flexibility, endurance, aerobic condition, a range of motion
(ROM), strength, bone integrity, coordination, balance and
risk of falls.
• All current clinical management of RA recommend the use
of physiotherapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) as an
adjunct to drug treatment.
11. The four most common
components of PT/OT for RA are
• Exercise therapy,
• Joint protection advice and provision of
functional splinting and assistive devices
• Massage therapy, and
• Patient education.
12. Hand exercise therapy
• Hand Exercises are used as an intervention that
aims to improve the mobility and strength of the
hand and therefore,improving functional ability.
Hand exercise may include:
• Mobilizing exercise (Increase or maintain range
of motion)
• Strengthing exercise ( that use resistance from
putty, a gel ball, or elastic band to strengthen
hand and wrist muscles).

15. Joint Protection
• Rest & Splinting: Orthosis and splinting prevent the
development of deformities and support joints
• Therapy Gloves: to control and manage hand pain, to
maintain or restore the patient’s hand function and
increase grip strength. Psychologically help to relax or
calm the wearer. worn during the day or at night. Made
of various materials: nylon, wool and elastane fibres.
• Compression Gloves: moderate joint swelling and
consequently reduce the pain
• Assistive and adaptive devices eg easy pour kettle,
ergonomic good grip preparation knives, sock donner.
16. Massage Therapy:
• Massage and the manual trigger of an articular
movement focused on the improvement of function,
pain reduction, reduction of disease activity
improve flexibility and welfare (dimension of
depression, anxiety, mood and pain)
17. Therapeutic Exercise
• Physical exercise helps to increase the physical capacity
of the patient.
• Exercise improves general muscular endurance and
strength without detrimental effects on disease activity
or pain in RA
• Before beginning an exercise program perform a global
evaluation of the situation: joint-inflammation local or
systemic, state of the disease, age of the patient and
grade of collaboration.
• Exercise therapy is aimed of improving daily
functioning and the social participation by means of
improvement of the strength, aerobic condition, the
range of motion, stabilisation and coordination.
18. Programs for Patients with RA
• Includes; ROM-exercises; aerobic exercise:
stabilisation/coordination exercises.
• Start with a moderate-intensive exercise
program
• Progress to a high-intensive exercise program if
possible aimed at improving aerobic capacity,
strength and endurance.
• The duration and intensity of the exercises
should be based on the individual patient and
their assessment
19. Patient Education:
Information about their condition and the
different therapies disposed to improve their
quality of life. eg Patients are taught how to
protect the joints during routine daily life;
adjusting their movement-behaviour; behavioural
change by your patient (a process with 3 phases:
the motivation-phase, the initial-behavioural
change phase and the phase where the intended
behaviour is continued).
20. physical modalities
•Cold/Hot Applications: cold for acute
phase; heat for chronic phase and used
before exercise.
•Transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulation (TENS) is used to relieve
pain.
•Hydrotherapy-Balneotherapy: exercise
with minimal load on the joints.
21.
22. The therapy goals in most
cases are:
• Improvement in disease management knowledge
• Pain control
• Improvement in activities of daily living
• Improvement in Joint stiffness (~ Range of motion)
• Prevent or control joint damage
• Improve strength
• Improve fatigue levels
• Improve the quality of life
• Improve aerobic condition
• Improve stability and coordination
23. Recommendations
• When the patient experiences an exacerbation and the
joints are acutely inflamed then isometric exercises
should be done.
• Avoid stretching in acute cases.
• Revise the exercise program if pain persists 2 hours after
the activity or there is an increase in joint swelling.
• Patients with active RA in their knees should avoid
climbing stairs or weight lifting as it could lead to intra-
articular pressure in the knee joint.
• Avoid excessive stress over the tendons with stretches
and avoid ballistic movements.
24. Exercises examples
In acute phase: isometric/static exercises -> be held for 6
seconds and repeated 5–10 times each day ; load = 40%
1RM. Chronic phase -> minimum 4 repetitions for each joint
in 2 to 3 days These exercises increase the mobility of the
joint, but the concerned joint will not be loaded during this
exercises.Contractures can be held for 6seconds and
repeated 5-10 times daily.
Stretching: Avoid in acute cases.
Strengthening: Moderate-intensive exercise therapy where
a minimum of 8-10 exercises is necessary for the major
muscle groups. Each exercise has to be repeated 8-10 times
and a minimal start intensity of 30-50 percent of 1
repetition maximum (RM). Use light weights important for
stabilization of the joint and prevention of traumatic
injuries.
25. Aerobic condition exercises: There are two types of exercises
to improve the aerobic condition: Intensive exercises and
moderate-intensive exercises. The intensive exercise therapy
has a minimum duration of 20 minutes per session and this 3
times a week with an intensity of 65 to 90 percent of the
maximal heart rate. The moderate-intensive exercise therapy
has a minimum duration of 30 minutes per session and this 5
times a week with an intensity of 55 to 64 percent of the
maximal heart rate. The aim of this exercises is to improve the
muscle endurance and aerobic capacity. eg: swimming,
walking, cycling
Stabilizing and coordinating exercises: The improvement of
stabilization and coordination of a certain joint will be
achieved by doing exercises that stimulate the sensorimotor
system. For example, standing on a balance board. Important
aspects during this exercises are motion control, balance and
coordination.
26. Conditioning exercises in people with chronic inactive
RA: swimming walking, cycling (include adequate rest
periods).
Routine daily activities: SARAH (Strengthening and
stretching for rheumatoid arthritis of the hand) The
SARAH trial tests an intervention against the usual
hand care. The main aim of the exercise program is
increased hand function, which is suggested to be
mediated by increases in strength, dexterity and
range-of-movement. The exercise program consists of
the usual care plus a hand and wrist exercise program
which includes seven mobility exercises and four
strength exercises against resistance (i.e. therapy
putty, theraband or hand exerciser balls).
32. Conclusion
• The disorder has frequent relapses and remissions, and at least
40% of patients will become disabled within ten years.
• Some patients have mild disease, others may have a severe
disease that severely affects the quality of life.
• Worse outcomes are usually seen in patients with a high titer of
autoantibodies, HLA-DRB1 genotypes, age younger than 30,
multiple joint involvement, female gender, and extra-articular
involvement.
• The drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis also have potent
side effects which often are not well tolerated. As the disease
progresses, many patients will develop adverse cardiac events
leading to death.
• The overall mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is
three times higher than in the general population.
• Despite advances in care, mortality from infection, cancer, and
ongoing vasculitis remains unchanged
