Excerpt

While different studies confirmed an increased risk for smokers to develop rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not known up to now. In all probability, smoking induces expression or post-translational modification of immune activating proteins which then initiate an autoimmune reaction in individuals with a susceptible genetic background. To identify these triggering molecules we screened joints of mice that were exposed to cigarette smoke for differences of gene expression and verified our results in synovial tissues of human smokers. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
