Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic disease in adults. The reasons for its outbreak in genetically predisposed individuals living in an environment conducive to its development, sometimes occurring following a physical and/or psychological traumatic shock, are still poorly understood, which gives it a continuing status as a topical and fascinating disease. The various patient management strategies are optimized each year. They now allow, after a rapid and accurate diagnosis, for the development of adapted and stratified treatments according to the activity of the disease, the patient profile, and, in particular, their comorbidities. The contribution of increasingly innovative medications is an opportunity, even if we must remain vigilant regarding their safety and tolerance profile in the medium and long term. The clinical presentation of RA has evolved over several years with less destructive forms at the structural level. Clinicians’ daily interest has therefore focused on certain extra-articular manifestations, such as rheumatoid lung disease, and on the management of various comorbidities, such as cardiovascular risk, which still significantly impacts the life expectancy of our patients. This Special Issue, “Preventive Strategies and Novel Treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis”, is now open to your contributions. We eagerly and kindly await your work on RA, your diagnostic innovations (biomarkers, imaging, etc.), and your therapeutic strategies, as well as your feedback on the various treatments available. We look forward to hearing from you!
Prof. Dr. Vincent Goeb
Guest Editor
