Parent topics
- Medicine [r]: The study of health and disease of the human body. [e]
- Internal medicine [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Immunology [r]: The study of all aspects of the immune system in all animals. [e]
- Connective tissue [r]: Tissue that supports and binds other tissues, including fat, muscle, scar tissue, subcutaneous tissue, elastic tissue, bone,and cartilage; it consists of connective tissue cells embedded in a large amount of extracellular matrix [e]
Subtopics
Rheumatological diseases
- Arthritis [r]: A group of medical conditions where there is damage caused to the joints of the body. [e]
- Rheumatoid arthritis [r]: A chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the joints. [e]
- Osteoarthritis [r]: Degenerative joint disease marked by destruction of the articular cartilage, hypertrophy of bone at the margins, and changes in the synovial membrane. [e]
- Vasculitis [r]: Inflammation of blood vessel walls. [e]
- Chronic fatigue syndrome [r]: Syndrome characterized by persistent or recurrent fatigue, diffuse musculoskeletal pain, sleep disturbances, and subjective cognitive impairment of 6 months duration or longer. [e]
- Chronic widespread pain [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Fibromyalgia [r]: Inflammation of the fibrous or connective tissue of the body, characterized by acute and debilitating widespread musculoskeletal pain. [e]
- Polymyalgia rheumatica [r]: A syndrome in the elderly characterized by proximal joint and muscle pain, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and a self-limiting course. [e]
- Mixed connective tissue disorder [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Scleroderma [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Sjogren's syndrome [r]: Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease in which the salivary and lacrimal glands undergo progressive destruction by lymphocytes and plasma cells resulting in decreased production of saliva and tears. The primary form, often called sicca syndrome, involves both keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. The secondary form includes, in addition, the presence of a connective tissue disease, usually rheumatoid arthritis. [e]
- Systemic lupus erythematosus [r]: Connective tissue disorder, that primarily affect women of childbearing age, have a variety of clinical forms, and are characterized by red scaly skin lesions. [e]
Diagnostic studies
- Antinuclear antibodies [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Bone densitometry [r]: A range of medical imaging methods used to detect weakening of bone and the risk of fractures; major applications are managing potential osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and bone growth disorders in children [e]
- Complete blood count [r]: A basic set of counts and ratios of various blood cells, which can be both individually and jointly valuable in medical diagnosis [e]
- Cryoglobulins [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Range of motion [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Rheumatoid factor [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Serum protein electrophoresis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- SS antigens [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Thyroid panel [r]: Add brief definition or description
Drugs
Analgesic
- Aspirin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Acetaminophen [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Tramadol [r]: Add brief definition or description
Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs
- Orthopedics [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Pain medicine [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Physical and rehabilitation medicine [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Physical therapy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Occupational therapy [r]: Add brief definition or description
