Etiological and biological aspects (ie AhR,Th-17) of cigarette smoking in rheumatoid arthritis.

One would suspect that pollutants are a major factor considering involvement with the AhR and this author makes some interesting points that RA started in the New World in the N American population and spread to Europe suggesting a vector-born disease.....??

Link Between Pain Thresholds, Inflammation And Sleep Problems In Arthritis Patients

"Recent advances in anti-inflammatory therapy, many RA patients continue to suffer from pain. A new study found that inflammation is associated with heightened pain sensitivity at joint sites, whereas increased sleep problems are associated with heightened pain sensitivity at both joint and non-joint sites."
