RA is autoimmune disease where the immune system is not working properly and in the case of RA involves one’s immune cells attacking healthy joint tissue. Symptoms of this condition include joint pain, joint swelling, stiffening of the joints after long periods of inactivity and/or sitting, rheumatoid nodules, flare ups and fatigue. If someone is diagnosed with RA they will have to live with the condition for the rest of their life and instead of
important in relieving pain. The main categories of medications used to treat RA’s symptoms are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), corticosteroids, and biologics. Both the NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors are used to prevent COX-mediated prostaglandin synthesis that further damage the joints. The patient may be on up to eighteen tablets (5.4g) of NSAIDs a day to treat inflammation and pain; this remains the most

Rheumatoid arthritis is three times more prevalent in women than in men, and also tends to progress with age. Pregnant women with rheumatoid arthritis have decreased signs and symptoms, but at postpartum the signs and symptoms will
Acute Inflammation The survival of all organisms requires that they eliminate foreign invaders, such as infectious pathogens, and damaged tissues. These functions are mediated by a complex host response called inflammation. Definition of inflammation Inflammation is fundamentally a protective response, the ultimate goal of which is to rid the organism of both the initial cause of cell injury (e.g., microbes, toxins) and the consequences of such injury (e.g., necrotic cells and tissues)
