'''Terminology''' | |||
* [[w:Autoimmunity]] is the system of immune responses of an organism against its own healthy cells, tissues and other body normal constituents. | |||
* [[w:Autoimmune disease]] is a condition arising from an abnormal [[w:immune response]] to a functioning body part. | |||
* [[w:Rheumatology]] (Greek ''ῥεῦμα'', ''rheûma'', flowing current) is a branch of medicine devoted to the [[w:medical diagnosis]] and [[w:therapy]] of [[w:rheumatism|rheumatic diseases]]. | |||
* [[w:Rheumatism]]<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Bruce |first1=Debra Fulghum |last2=PhD |title=Rheumatic Diseases: Types, Causes, and Diagnosis |url=https://www.webmd.com/rheumatoid-arthritis/an-overview-of-rheumatic-diseases |access-date=2022-05-10 |website=WebMD |language=en}}</ref> or rheumatic disorders are conditions causing [[w:chronic pain|w:chronic, often intermittent pain]] affecting the [[w:joint]]s or [[w:connective tissue]]. | |||
* [[w:Arthritis]] is a term often used to mean any disorder that affects [[w:joint]]s (Wikipedia) | |||
* [[w:Rheumatoid arthritis]] ('''RA''') is a long-term [[w:autoimmune disorder]] that primarily affects [[w:synovial joint]]s. | |||
* [[w:Rheumatoid factor]] ('''RF''') is the [[w:autoantibody]] that was first found in [[w:rheumatoid arthritis]]. It is defined as an [[w:antibody]] against the [[w:Fragment crystallizable region]] portion of [[w:IgG]] and different RFs can recognize different parts of the IgG-Fc.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Falkenburg|first1=W.J.J.|title=IgG Subclass Specificity Discriminates Restricted IgM Rheumatoid Factor Responses From More Mature Anti–Citrullinated Protein Antibody–Associated or Isotype-Switched IgA Responses|journal=Arthritis & Rheumatology|date=November 2015|volume=67|issue=12|pages=3124–3134|doi=10.1002/art.39299|pmid=26246004|ref=IgG Subclass Specificity Discriminates Restricted IgM Rheumatoid Factor Responses From More Mature Anti–Citrullinated Protein Antibody–Associated or Isotype-Switched IgA Responses|doi-access=free}}</ref> RF and IgG join to form [[w:immune complex]]es that contribute to the [[w:disease]] process.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Edkins A, Cushley W | year = 2012 | title = The Jekyll and Hyde nature of antibodies | journal = Biological Sciences Review | volume = 25 | issue = 2| page = 4 }}</ref> ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rheumatoid_factor&oldid=1086420200 Wikipedia]) | |||
* [[w:Osteoarthritis]] ('''OA''') is a type of degenerative [[w:joint disease]] that results from breakdown of [[w:articular cartilage|articular joint cartilage]] and underlying [[w:bone]]. | |||
* [[w:Synovial joint]], also known as '''diarthrosis''', joins bones or cartilage with a fibrous [[w:joint capsule]] that is continuous with the [[w:periosteum]] of the joined bones, constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity, and surrounds the bones' articulating surfaces.
