Frequent questions

Below we list the most frequently asked questions about Rheumatology.

  • Knee pain can be caused by a variety of reasons, and meniscus problems are one of the possible causes. The menisci are two C-shaped cartilages located on the inside of the knee joint, and their function is to help stabilize the joint and distribute the weight load evenly. Injuries or problems to the meniscus can result in knee pain. However, knee pain can also be caused by other conditions, such as osteoarthritis, arthritis, ligament injuries, bursitis, tendonitis, among others.

  • Inflammatory sacroiliitis is a condition that involves inflammation of one or both sacroiliac joints, which connect the spine to the pelvis. This condition can cause pain and stiffness in the lower back, buttocks, and thighs. Sacroiliitis can be caused by a variety of inflammatory disorders, including spondyloarthropathies.

  • A fine-needle subcutaneous fat biopsy (FSG-AF) is a relatively simple procedure that involves removing a sample of subcutaneous fat tissue using a thin needle. The general process of a BGS-AF is described below.

  • GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) analogs play an important role in the treatment of obesity by helping people lose weight and improve their metabolic health.

    Some of the most common GLP-1 analogs are:

  • There are several types of lumbar surgery used to treat various conditions of the spine and lower back region.

  • Vertebral fracture may be the first symptom of osteoporosis in a patient. Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by decreased bone density and fragility of bones, which increases the risk of fractures. The vertebrae of the spine are one of the common places where these fractures can occur.

  • Treating osteoarthritis with anti-inflammatory foods involves incorporating dietary choices that may help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms associated with the condition. While diet alone cannot cure osteoarthritis or completely manage pain, it can complement other treatment strategies and improve overall joint health.

  • Biological drugs, also known as biologics, are a class of medications derived from living organisms or their components, often produced using biotechnological processes.

  • Synthetic Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (sDMARDs) are a class of medications used in the treatment of various autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

  • Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAK inhibitors or JAKi) play a significant role in the treatment of various rheumatic diseases by targeting the Janus Kinase (JAK) pathway. The JAK-STAT signaling pathway is crucial for the transmission of signals from cytokines and growth factors involved in immune responses and inflammation. JAK inhibitors interfere with this pathway, modulating the immune system and reducing inflammation.
