(Mayo Clinic, 2014) Research has found a genetic predisposition for rheumatoid arthritis, but a virus may cause the early initial onset.

In a shorter definition, rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive disease that causes muscle loss. Women between the
Effect of the administration of etoricoxib using nanotechnology for the treatment of experimental arthritis in a mouse model 1: Summary Inflammation is a basic yetcomplex process that protects the body by eliminating both the causes and consequences of injury, such as microbes, toxins, and necrotic cells. Therefore, plasma proteins, circulating cells, and tissue phagocytes(the body’s defenders against foreign invaders) must be recruited to the extravascular space in order to rid the organism
