Rheumatology and Immunology

Emerging Treatment Models in Rheumatology: IgG4-Related Disease: Insights Into Human Immunology and Targeted Therapies.

Rheumatology and rheumatology research, a mismatch.

THE study by Williams and his colleagues [1] raises the questions: What is the rheumatologist's job description? How should he dispense his time between seeing patients and training his staff and in what directions should he lead his researchers? There could be as many answers as there are rheumatologists. One feature of life as a consultant in Britain is freedom to play the consultant game con...

Imaging in rheumatology: reconciling radiology and rheumatology

Imaging in rheumatology was in the past largely confined to radiographs of the hands and sacroiliac joints (SIJs) helping to establish the diagnosis and then monitoring disease progression. Radiographs are not very sensitive for early inflammation in inflammatory rheumatic disorders and the demand on imaging services was therefore limited. However, over the last 10-15 years new drugs and new te...

Immunology and Pathology: Poultry Immunology and Pathology

Immunomodulators like β-glucans have attracted considerable attention as potential alternatives to the prophylactic use of antibiotics. Despite increasing research, little is known about their regulatory influence on immune function in poultry. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of a yeast-derived β-glucan (Auxoferm YGT) on gene expression of T helper cytokines in the intestine....
