Track: Arthritis: Types, Diagnosis and Treatment

Arthritis refers to a group of conditions that involve inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited movement. It affects people of all ages and can significantly impact daily activities. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), though other forms such as gout, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile arthritis also exist. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing symptoms and preventing joint damage.

Key Topics and Highlights:

Osteoarthritis (OA): A degenerative joint disease caused by the breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, typically in weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and spine.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and eventual joint damage, commonly affecting smaller joints like those in the hands and feet.

Gout: A type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden and severe episodes of pain, often in the big toe.

Psoriatic Arthritis: An inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, causing joint pain, swelling, and skin changes.

Juvenile Arthritis: A type of arthritis that affects children, leading to joint inflammation, pain, and growth problems.

Summary:

This session will cover the different types of arthritis, their diagnostic approaches, and the various treatment options available. Expert rheumatologists will discuss current advancements in diagnostic techniques, including imaging and blood tests, as well as the latest treatments, including both pharmaceutical and surgical options. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology of arthritis, effective management strategies, and how early intervention can improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
