About the Journal

Rheumatism: Open Access is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles based on recent research developments related to novel methods and tools for the diagnosis, treatment, pathophysiological analysis and clinical management of rheumatic diseases. The journal prioritizes the publication of study findings pertaining to the pathophysiology, immunohistochemistry as well as genetic and environmental factors associated with the manifestation of rheumatic diseases.

The journal serves as a global platform for the worldwide dissemination of contemporary research developments in rheumatology for the benefit of researchers, scientists and physicians involved in the research and practice of rheumatology and its allied scientific disciplines.

The scope of the Rheumatism: Open Access encompasses of multifarious key aspects and primarily focuses on the topics that includes but not limited:

• Rheumatic Diseases
• Arthritic Disease
• Systemic Sclerosis
• Osteoarthritis
• Clinical Rheumatology
• Experimental Rheumatology

• Musculoskeletal condition

Rheumatism: Open Access accepts different formats of literary works such as research articles, reviews, commentaries, book reviews, rapid communications, letter’s to the editor, annual meeting abstracts,  case-reports, discussions, meeting-reports and news for upcoming issue. The journal aims to contribute to the process of advent of novel methods of detection, amelioration and most importantly prevention of rheumatologic diseases.

Rheumatism: Open Access can be of interest to professional organization of Rheumatologists, Health Professionals, Clinical/Medical specialists, Health practitioners, Orthopaedic surgeons, Immunologists, Students, Researchers, etc.

All submitted manuscripts undergo a double blind peer review process before being accepted for publication. Review processing is performed by the editorial board members of Rheumatism: Open Access or outside experts. Publication of all citable manuscripts is subject to the approval of two independent reviewers followed by the editor’s approval. Authors may submit manuscripts and track their progress through the online tracking system, hopefully to publication.

Rheumatic Diseases

Rheumatic diseases are observed by inflammation, pain, warmth and stiffness that affect the joints and muscles. Some of the most common rheumatic diseases are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, systemic lupus erythematous, gout, juvenile idiopathic arthritis etc. These diseases can cause loss of function in particular body parts.

Arthritic Disease

The term "arthritis" means joint inflammation, which is used to describe the rheumatic disorders or diseases. Arthritis is characterized by pain, aching, stiffness and swelling in and around one or more joints. There are different types of arthritis which are divided in to seven groups are inflammatory arthritis, degenerative or mechanical arthritis, soft tissue musculoskeletal pain, back pain, connective tissue disease, infectious arthritis and metabolic arthritis.

Systemic Sclerosis

Systemic disease is an auto immune disease which affects the systemic connective tissues. Systemic sclerosis is characterised by vasomotor disturbances, fibrosis, subsequent atrophy of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and internal organs (e.g., alimentary tract, lungs, heart, kidney, CNS) and immunologic disturbances. There are two types of systemic sclerosis localized and systemic scleroderma. Localized scleroderma affects only skin and systemic affects kidneys, heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition seen by a decline in the thickness of bone, diminishing its strength and bringing about delicate bones. Osteoporosis prompts strangely permeable bone that is compressible, similar to a sponge. This issue of the skeleton debilitates the bone and results in frequent fractures in the bones. Prevention includes a proper diet throughout childhood and efforts to avoid medications that cause the condition and regular exercise. Lifestyle changes like stopping smoking and not drinking alcohol might facilitate. The most common injuries in people with osteoporosis are wrist fractures, hip fractures and fractures of the spinal bones.

Rheumatology and Internal Medicine

Internal medicine is the study of science which deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Professionals specializing in internal medicine are called general physicians or physicians in Commonwealth nations. Internists are skilled in the management of patients who have multi-system disease processes. Rheumatology internal medicine deals with evaluation and management of wide spectrum of disorders related to the musculoskeletal system, including systemic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that may also involve other organ systems.

Pain Management

Pain management is the study of science which decreases the suffering from chronic pains. Few of the pain management professional are medical practitioners, pharmacists, clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists. Any medico may also specialize in pain medicine. Pain management programs can employ massage therapy, analgesic medications, physical therapy, and epidural steroid injections, among others to treat back pain.

Orthopedic Trauma

Orthopedic trauma is a branch of science which studies about the severe injuries to musculoskeletal system mainly caused by sudden accident requiring immediate medical attention. While not all orthopaedic trauma is life-threatening, it is life altering. Orthopedic trauma physicians are unique in that they specialize in complex injuries to bones, joints and soft tissues. Orthopedic trauma physicians trained in the field of orthopaedic surgery with a special focus on the treatment of fractured bones and joint realignment to promote the safe recovery and return of functionality to injured body parts.

Arthoplasty

Arthroplasty is a procedure to restore the function of a joint. A joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones. An artificial joint may be used, depending on the requirement of the surgery. Unlike any other surgical procedure, complications can happen. Some possible complications may include are Bleeding, Infection, Blood clots in the legs or lungs and Loosening of prosthetic parts Nerves or blood vessels in the area of surgery may be injured. This results in weakness or numbness. The joint pain may not be relieved by the surgery and complete function may not return.

Bursa is a bag like structure which contains lubricating fluid, located between tissues such as bone, muscle, tendons, and skin. Bursitis is the inflammation of one or more bursa of synovial fluid in the body. They are lined with a synovial membrane that secretes a lubricating synovial fluid. The most common locations for bursitis are in the shoulder, elbow and hip. Bursitis may also affect knee, heel and the base of your big toe. Bursitis often occurs near joints that perform frequent repetitive motion. Tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendinitis or tendonitis is an inflammatory condition which affects the tendons. Tendinitis or tendonitis is most commonly caused by repetitive, minor impact on the affected area. There are many activities that can cause tendinitis, some of them include are gardening, raking, carpentry, cleaning house, painting, scrubbing, tennis, golf, skiing, throwing and pitching

Ankylosing spondylitis affects 0.1% to .05% of the population. This disease is mostly observed men in their teens and 20’s. Presence of HLA-B27 gene increases the risk of developing Ankylosing spondylitis. Treatment for this disease includes Physical and occupational therapy, Exercise, Medications and sometimes through surgery. People with spondylitis are recommended to not smoke or chew tobacco products because nicotine aggravates the condition.
