Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Addressing the Challenge of Early Diagnosis and Treatment
Orlando, Florida / November 12-16, 2011
Orlando - As initial symptoms are non-specific, early diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is challenging. Echocardiography is the best screening tool but a definitive right heart catheterization should not be delayed as early...

Non-TNF Inhibitor Biologics: Expanding Opportunities for Rheumatoid Arthritis Control
Chicago, Illinois / November 5-9, 2011
Chicago - Led by TNF inhibitors, biologics addressing a variety of mediators of inflammation, including other cytokines, as well as enzymatic pathways in the inflammatory response, have demonstrated unprecedented rates of control in...

Novel Oral Inhibitors of Select Enzymatic Pathways in Rheumatoid Arthritis Inflammation
Chicago, Illinois / November 5-9, 2011
Chicago - Small-molecule inhibitors of enzymatic pathways that control inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are advancing rapidly in clinical trials and are expected to generate the next major evolution in targeted therapy. The most...
MEDICAL FRONTIERS - 75th Annual Meeting of the American College of Rheumatology
Sequencing Biologic Therapeutic Strategies in Rheumatoid Diseases
Chicago, Illinois / November 5-9, 2011
Chicago - By preventing tissue damage caused by inflammation, TNF inhibitors are changing the natural history of joint diseases and other autoimmune processes. At the ACR 2011 meeting, substantial data and discussion were devoted to the...

Rapid Treatment Response in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Valuable Indicator of Reduced Risk of Joint Damage
Chicago, Illinois / November 5-9, 2011
Chicago - Previously, tight, early control of rheumatoid arthritis has been associated with less disease activity and fewer symptoms when measured over 1 year. New data with biologics associate early control with a reduction in structural...

Achieving Broad Protection Against Serogroup B: Vaccine Targets Most Common Meningococcus Serogroup
Montréal, Quebec / November 3-5, 2011
Montréal - Recent surveys suggest poor control of symptoms and disease is endemic among patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There are numerous reasons for this finding, including lack of awareness of the...
