Le système d’information géographique constitue une aide considérable lors de la définition d’un plan de lutte contre les glossines. Son application pratique pour la collecte de données entomologiques servant de base à la planification de la lutte et à son évaluation future a été faite dans l’ouest du Burkina Faso, de décembre 2007 à novembre 2008. Choisie pour englober les bassins versants des principaux fleuves ou rivières et les limites de distribution de Glossina palpalis gambiensis et G. tachinoides, la zone d’étude a été divisée en cellules de 10 km x 10 km. Dans chaque cellule, un maximum de 13 sites potentiels de piégeage ont été sélectionnés par l’utilisation d’imagerie satellite, puis repérés sur le terrain à l’aide du système mondial de positionnement (GPS). L’enquête entomologique a été réalisée avec des pièges biconiques Challier-Laveissière et les récoltes ont eu lieu 72 heures après leur installation. L’analyse des données a été conduite en utilisant des modèles aléa­toires mixtes binomiaux et de distribution de Poisson. La cartographie, réalisée avec le logiciel Arc Gis 9.3, a permis de déterminer la limite nord (12° 45’ N) des glos­sines dans la zone d’intervention. Les proportions de sites infestés étaient de 89,6 et 76,4 % respectivement au niveau des sections ascendante et descendante de la rivière Mouhoun (la première coule vers le nord-est depuis la source, la seconde vers le sud-est puis le sud après avoir conflué avec le Sourou), et de 16,7 et 10,3 % respectivement au niveau de leurs affluents. Entre les isohyètes 700–800 m et 800–900 m aucune différence significative n’a été observée dans les densités apparentes des glossines par piège, ni dans les sites infestés. Les deux espèces de glossines cap­turées étaient distribuées différemment selon les sections du Mouhoun : les cap­tures étaient composées de 79,5 % de G. p. gambiensis sur la section ascendante et de 96,0 % de G. tachinoides sur la section descendante. Les captures de vecteurs mécaniques ont été relativement faibles, leur distribution étant comparable à celle des glossines avec cependant quelques densités importantes sur les affluents.

L’apparition de l’influenza aviaire hautement pathogène (IAHP) H5N1 en 2003 a accentué la nécessité de disposer de systèmes de surveillance en santé animale efficaces pour éviter une pandémie grippale. Dans certains pays des mesures ad hoc ont été mises en place, soutenues par des bailleurs mais sans véritable ancrage sur le terrain ou auprès des institutions publiques chargées d’assurer une veille sanitaire. D’autres dispositifs, au contraire, ont permis de renforcer les structures déjà en place. L’objectif de cette étude a été de faire un état des lieux des dispositifs de surveillance de l’IAHP chez les volailles au Vietnam afin d’éva­luer la complémentarité des dispositifs nationaux (financés par le gouvernement vietnamien) et des programmes mis en place par les bailleurs internationaux. Les différents types de dispositifs de surveillance, d’études épidémiologique et de projets recherche sur l’IAHP au Vietnam ont été évalués dans l’ensemble complé­mentaires, assurant une couverture homogène du pays. Cependant les nouvelles politiques gouvernementales ont pour la plupart été décidées sans évaluation des actions antérieures en raison d’une insuffisance de données d’évaluation ou d’impact des projets mis en œuvre. Un dysfonctionnement du système de sur­veillance passive, avec un retour limité des résultats et des recommandations aux agents de terrain, a également été constaté. La mise en place de dispositifs de surveillance active efficients en complément de la surveillance passive s’avère donc essentielle dans la gestion du risque de l’IAHP au Vietnam.
Traitement au closantel d’agneaux infestés naturellement par des paramphistomes (Calicophoron daubneyi) immatures
Authors: Devos Jacques , Marcotty Tanguy
Published: May 2017

Peu de données sont disponibles concernant le traitement de la pathologie liée à la forme immature de Calicophoron daubneyi. Pour étudier l’efficacité du clo­santel dans cette indication, 10 agneaux placés pendant 42 jours sur une par­celle connue comme étant infestée par C. daubneyi ont ensuite été répartis en deux lots, témoin et traité, puis autopsiés 7 à 10 jours après traitement. Les para­sites présents dans le duodénum ont été dénombrés en différenciant les formes libres et les formes intramuqueuses. La réduction du nombre de parasites libres (61 %) s’est avérée très variable et non-significative. En revanche, la réduction du nombre de parasites intramuqueux (56 %) a été très significative (p = 0,002). Etant donné le pouvoir pathogène des larves intramuqueuses, le closantel pour­rait être utile aux animaux récemment infestés.

Published: May 2017

Une grande majorité des polyculteurs éleveurs de l’ouest du Burkina Faso ont un projet d’élevage familial (PEF) en tête. Cependant, plus de la moitié des pro­jets ne démarrent même pas. Parmi ceux mis en place, d’importantes faiblesses sont observées au niveau de la gestion de l’alimentation du bétail, ce qui com­promet leur rentabilité économique. Cet article présente une démarche de conception et d’accompagnement de projet d’élevage familial (Capef) conduit en partenariat entre le producteur et un conseiller. Elle permet d’accompagner le producteur dans la préparation, l’exécution et l’évaluation de son projet. La démarche a été élaborée avec 10 producteurs qui avaient des PEF bovins de trait, bovins à l’engraissement ou vaches laitières en préparation. La Capef se déroule en quatre étapes : a) le diagnostic, b) le calibrage et la recherche d’options d’amélioration, c) la mise en œuvre et l’ajustement, et d) l’évaluation. Dans cette approche de conception d’accompagnement, les producteurs ont mis au point le PEF progressivement, en même temps qu’ils ont appris à le pilo­ter, en réorganisant leur travail et l’allocation de leurs moyens de production. La Capef a aidé les producteurs à développer les apprentissages permettant la maîtrise des pratiques d’alimentation et des stratégies d’élaboration d’un projet d’élevage pour mieux le réussir. Pour le chercheur, elle a permis de comprendre la rationalité des éleveurs en participant avec eux à la construction et à la mise en œuvre de leur PEF.
Effects of insemination timing and GnRH treatment on pregnancy rates of N’Dama cattle after estrus induction with progestin
Authors: Okouyi Marcel W.M. , Hanzen Christian
Published: May 2017

The aim of this clinical trial was to quantify the results of pregnancy after treat­ing trypanotolerant N’Dama female cattle (n = 168) with a progesterone-releas­ing intravaginal device (CIDR; 1.38 g of progesterone) inserted for seven days. An intramuscular (IM) prostaglandin injection (500 μg of cloprostenol) was administered two days before removal of the device. Subsequently, an IM injec­tion of 400 IU of eCG was administered when the device was removed. The animals were inseminated 48 (Group 1) and 72 hours (Group 2) after removal of CIDR. In both groups, half the animals were treated with 4.2 μg of busere­lin acetate and the other half with 1 ml of physiological saline. Four protocols were thus tested: CIDR-PG-eCG/IA48h, CIDR-PG-eCG/IA48h/GnRH+, CIDR-PG-eCG/IA72h, and CIDR-PG-eCG/IA72h/GnRH+. A pregnancy diagnosis was performed by echography 45 to 60 days after insemination. The average preg­nancy rate was 37.5%. That of the adult cows (43.2%, n = 111) was significantly (p < 0.03) higher than that of the heifers (26.3%, n = 57). The pregnancy rate observed in animals in Group 2 (48.8%) was significantly higher (p < 0.002) than that observed in animals in Group 1 (26.2%). The physiological condition and injection of GnRH at the time of insemination had no significant impact on the pregnancy rate. The hormonal protocol using CIDR-PG-eCG (400 IU) and a timed artificial insemination 72 hours later improved the pregnancy rates in N’Dama females.

Published: May 2017

The seasonal prevalence of the larvae of Cephalopina titillator infesting camels was studied at Ramtha slaughterhouse in Jordan. Of the 97 camels examined, 45 were infested (46%). Larvae were found every month of the year with the highest infestation rate in January and the lowest between May and July. The number of recovered larvae ranged from 12 to 113, with an average of 43. Most larvae were attached to the mucosa of the nasopharynx, whereas a few were found in the nasal cavity. Most first-instar larvae were found in the labyrinth of the ethmoid bone, whereas second- and third-instar larvae were mainly seen in the pharyngeal cavity. Degenerated larvae were also observed in the frontal and nasal sinuses.

Published: May 2017

A Self-Determination Theory (SDT) pressupõe que a qualidade autônoma da motivação resulta da interação equilibrada entre demandas internas do self e nutrientes contextuais, a partir da satisfação das necessidades psicológicas básicas (NPB) de autonomia, competência e pertencimento. Este estudo qualitativo teve por objetivo explorar as definições operacionais das NPB no âmbito da docência na Educação Superior. Para tanto, a amostra de professores universitários respondeu, de forma anônima e voluntária, a três questões abertas abordando a temática, analisadas por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva. Como resultado, emergiram sete descritores operacionais para definir Autonomia, além de uma subcategoria crítica; sete para Competência e cinco para Pertencimento, detalhados e debatidos em consonância à docência. Embora circunscritos a uma amostra, são resultados potencialmente relevantes para subsidiar a compreensão e os avanços no campo motivacional, bem como para a promoção de políticas voltadas à satisfação e ao bem-estar psicológico do profissional docente da Educação Superior.

The current study aimed the evaluation of the long term effect of the educational video game (EVG) in the specific knowledge test (SKT) performance, opinion of satisfaction with the discipline (OSD) and learning perception of the subject matter (LP) of a graduation discipline in the Physiotherapy course of the Universidade de Brasília (UnB). This study is a randomized clinical trial with two groups: Experimental Group (EG): presential classes with extra class use of the EVG; Control Group (CG): only presential classes. Classes occurred once a week with the presence of both groups. Students allocated in EG accessed the EVG platform at least once a week. After 17 weeks the assessment tools were applied for the dependent variables: (I) SKT, (2) OSD, (3) LP. The Student t test was used to compare the SKT means between groups and absolute and relative frequencies were used to report SOD and LP scales. Data was analyzed with significance level of 5%. The sample consisted of a total of 71 students (22,83 [±3,35] years), composed by 62 female (87,3%) and 09 male (12,7%) individuals. There was significant statistical difference between EG and CG in SKT (p=0.006), with EG having higher means than CG. Regarding the secondary endpoints, EG had 100% answers in categories 4 and 5, while GC also showed responses in category 3. Results points that the EVG improved the performance in SKT. The opinion results indicate that the use of the EVG can increase the satisfaction with the discipline and LP.

O cinema como formação: a escola como mediadora da relação entre jovens e filmes
Authors: Fernandes Adriana Hoffmann , Garcia Pedro Benjamin
Published: May 2017

O artigo aborda os “achados” de uma pesquisa com cinema na escola com jovens do ensino médio integrado de uma escola de formação técnica. O campo de pesquisa ocorreu em rodas de leitura com exibições, debates e leituras associadas aos filmes exibidos para as turmas num processo de cooperação científica entre duas universidades e a escola de ensino médio com a colaboração estreita dos professores da escola. A pesquisa apontou que as rodas de leitura trouxeram os aspectos amplos de formação com o cinema vividos pelos jovens na escola. Nas práticas vividas pelos jovens na escola eles apontam os processos formativos vividos ao longo do curso nos fazendo refletir sobre o papel mediador da escola na relação entre cinema e juventude. A escola aparece como sensibilizadora, desautomatizadora do olhar, algo que nos surpreendeu e confirmou o que discutem pesquisadores da área como Dussel (2014), quando afirmam que o cinema na escola nem sempre faz desse espaço pedagógico algo empobrecedor. Em diálogo com estudiosos de cinema e educação destacamos como o processo vivido nessa escola pesquisada aponta uma relação com o cinema como formação.

A HERMENÊUTICA ECUMÊNICA DA FÉ CRISTÃ: UMA CONTRIBUIÇÃO AO DIÁLOGO ENTRE CATÓLICOS E LUTERANOS NO CONTEXTO DOS 500 ANOS DA REFORMA DE LUTERO
Authors: Wolff Elias
Published: May 2017

RESUMO: O artigo aborda questões de hermenêutica da fé cristã e suas implicações tanto na história da divisão cristã como na busca da reconciliação. O foco é a relação entre as Igrejas Católica e Luterana, no contexto dos 500 anos da Reforma de Lutero. Mostra a vivência da fé como resultado de um processo hermenêutico dos Evangelhos, de onde se originam diferentes tradições teológicas que configuram identidades eclesiais distintas. Se durante 500 anos, católicos e luteranos divergiram na compreensão do Evangelho, urge agora uma hermenêutica ecumênica que favoreça na superação das divergências. O artigo retoma aspectos da hermenêutica de Lutero e os relaciona com a hermenêutica católica; apresenta elementos metodológicos para uma hermenêutica católico-luterana da fé cristã; e mostra como a comemoração dos 500 anos da Reforma, em 2017, pode impulsionar a comunhão na fé entre católicos e luteranos.ABSTRACT: The article addresses Christian Faith hermeneutics and its implications in the history of Christian division and search of reconciliation. The focus is the relationship between Catholic and Lutheran churches in the context of the Reformation’s anniversary. It demonstrates the living out of faith as a result of a hermeneutical process of the Gospels where the different traditions emerge and configure distinct ecclesial identities. So, if during five hundred years Catholics and Lutherans diverged on the understanding of the Gospel; Ecumenical hermeneutics that favor overcoming these is urgent. The article takes some aspects of Luther’s hermeneutics and relates them to Catholic hermeneutics; demonstrating some methodological elements for Catholic-Lutheran Hermeneutics of Faith, and shows how the joint commemoration of the Reformation in 2017 may motivate communion between Catholics and Lutherans.
LA MISERICORDIA: “UNA CONMOCIÓN DE LAS ENTRAÑAS”
Authors: Fernandez Nurya Martinez-Gayol
Published: May 2017

RESUMEN: Esta contribución trata sobre la misericordia. Nos aproximamos a ella a partir del espacio vital desde el que ella brota, las “entrañas”, espacio que se encuentra sobradamente fundamentado en la revelación, tanto en el Antiguo como en el Nuevo Testamento. En las “entranãs” tienen su origen la ternura, la compasión y el perdón, las tres dimensiones de la misericordia que van a ser abordadas en el artículo. Ellas brotan de unas entrañas que se conmueven, nos alcanzan y nos envían a ser nosotros también portadores de esta misericordia.ABSTRACT: This contribution is about mercy. We approach it since the vital space from mercy comes forth, the “inner core”, a space that is largely based on revelation, both in the Old and New Testaments. The “inner core” is the place of origin of tenderness, compassion and forgiveness, the three dimensions of mercy that will be addressed in the article. They come forth from the inner core that shock us, reach us and send us to be also bearers of this mercy.
UMA TEOLOGIA RELACIONAL DA VIDA E SEU SENTIDO
Authors: Lemos Rita Cássia Rosada
Published: May 2017

RESUMO: O estudo aborda a questão da vida em seu sentido na história humana. A civilização pós-moderna coloca sérios desafios à teologia. Um dos mais notáveis é a questão do sentido da vida. A partir da busca do ser humano pelo sentido, a autora apresenta uma concepção da vida em permanente processo de maturação. A vida é chamada continuamente a realizar sua vocação num envolver-se em relações que se revelam plenas de sentido. A segunda parte do artigo relaciona a busca do sentido da vida com saberes científicos numa realidade de mudança de época, à luz de uma presença originária do Sentido absoluto na história humana. A meta é dizer que a fé cristã atesta que a existência tem seu fundamento na relação pessoal com Deus, que faz da relação o lugar da integração do ser pessoa.ABSTRACT: This study treats the question of life in terms of its meaning in human history. Postmodern civilization poses serious challenges to theology, one of the most notable being the question of the meaning of life. Beginning with the human search for meaning, the author presents a conception of life as a permanent process of maturing. Life is continually called on to fulfil its vocation to engage in relationships that are full of meaning. The second part of the article relates the search for the meaning of life to scientific knowledge in the context of epochal changes, in the light of an original presence of absolute meaning in human history. The goal is to say that Christian faith attests that existence has its ground in personal relationship with God, which makes relationships the place of integration for being a person.
QU’EST-CE QUE RÉFORMER UNE RELIGION? L’EXEMPLE DE LA RÉFORME PROTESTANTE
Authors: Gisel Pierre
Published: May 2017

RÉSUMÉ: L’article interroge ce qu’il en est de la Réforme protestante à l’enseigne de « Qu’est-ce que réformer une religion ? ». Cela suppose qu’on en examine le déploiement dans le temps et qu’on le fasse en fonction de quelques problématiques à élaborer. Au XVIe siècle, la Réforme protestante hérite d’une antécédence et s’en démarque, comme le font aussi la Réforme radicale et la Réforme catholique, chacune diWérente, mais chacune nouvelle et chacune déterminée par la donne socio-culturelle du temps. L’article revient sur la « scène primitive » de la Réforme, sur la structuration de l’Eglise, sur ce qui s’y modiZent du type de fondement mis en avant, du statut et des formes de la transcendance, des modalités d’articulation au séculier. Sur cet arrière-plan, l’article revisite les oppositions confessionnelles usuelles, interrogeant critiquement chacun des termes alors mis en avant. Il y souligne tout particulièrement une radicalité liée à la posture protestante, avec ses forces et ses risques. Il se termine enfin avec l’évocation de questions contemporaines s’inscrivant dans la suite de cette histoire.ABSTRACT: The article questions the Protestant Reformation under the guise of «What does it mean to reform a religion?» . This implies that its’ implementation over time be examined and that this be done while taking into consideration a few under lying problems. In the sixteenth century, the Protestant Reformation inherited antecedents and differentiated itself from them, as did the radical Reformation and the Catholic Reformation, each different, but each new and each determined by the socio-cultural context of the time. The article returns to the «primitive scene» of the Reformation, to the structuring of the Church, to the changes that are taking place in the type of foundation being put forward and to the status and forms of transcendence, models of articulation in secularity. On this background, the article revisits the usual confessional oppositions, critically interrogating each of the ideas presented. In particular, it points out the radicalness linked to the Protestant position, with its strengths and risks. It ends by evoking contemporary questions for the continuation of this event.

Crystallinity degree of cacao fruits skin from Luwu which was obtained from XRD analysis is 12.66%. The wasteutilization of this cacao fruit skin with pyrolysis technology is able to reduce carbon emissions and can be as a supporter of sustainable development program.
Acción de repetición contra funcionarios públicos
Authors: Schiavi Pablo
Published: May 2017

Durante largos años y también en la actualidad, el artículo 25 de la Constitución - único artículo constitucional que regula de algún modo la responsabilidad civil de los funcionarios hacia la Administración- ha sido y es un permanente olvidado, salvo escasísimas excepciones pese a estar incorporado en nuestra Carta desde 1952. Su olvido o inaplicación promueve y favorece, sin lugar a dudas, la existencia de “islas de irresponsabilidad” y de “sujetos irresponsables y reductos de irresponsabilidad” denominados así por nuestra doctrina más destacada. En el presente trabajo abordaremos el régimen jurídico de la acción de repetición contra funcionarios públicos, recorriendo las posiciones doctrinas y jurisprudenciales relevantes, con especial detenimiento en sus presupuestos y condiciones, y en el procedimiento que debe seguirse para hacerla efectiva, para evitar y combatir esos reductos de irresponsabilidad y de impunidad, de modo de fortalecer nuestro Estado Constitucional de Derecho.

Introduction: The pathogenesis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is not clear. Risk factors including environmental factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of few congenital anomalies. We aimed to assess the effect of season on the incidence of CDH and mortality rate in the southwest of Iran.Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of 60 patients with CDH who were admitted at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Imam Khomeini Hospital of Ahvaz, Iran were evaluated.Results: Assuming that all the neonates born with CDH in the region reach this hospital, overall CDH prevalence rate was 1.09 per 10 000 total births. Conceptions in spring and summer in this region had statistically significantly higher incidence of CDH. Survival rate in the series was 41.6%.Conclusion: Seasonal variation has impact on the incidence of CDH. Mortality rate in neonates with CDH is still very high.

Diet and Cardiovascular Disease: Effects of Foods and Nutrients in Classical and Emerging Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Authors: Badimon Lina , Chagas Patricia , Chiva-Blanch Gemma
Published: May 2017

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Diet comprises a mixture of food compounds that has an influence on human health. The relationship between diet and health is extremely complex and strategies to delay or prevent chronic diseases such as CVD are of utmost interest because chronic diseases and more concretely CVD are still the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In this mini-review, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge about the principal diet components that potentially influence CVD initiation and progression. Current research refers to the Mediterranean dietary pattern, rich in fruits and vegetables, as the most cardioprotective, because of its high concentration of bioactive compounds such as unsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, fiber, phytosterols, vitamins and minerals, which exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic effects contributing to the delay of CVD initiation and progression.
The Use of patient Reported Outcome Measures for Rheumatoid Arthritis in Japan: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Tang Ann Chuo , Kim Hyunchung , Crawford Bruce , Ishii Taeko , Treuer Tamas
Published: May 2017

Background:

Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) obtained through routine medical care may identify patients’ day-to-day burden and help tackle the disease from the patients’ perspective. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the availability of PRO data and PRO tools for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Japan.

Objective:

We reviewed the literature on PRO data availability and to identify PRO measures implemented in Japan for RA patients.

Method:

We conducted a systematic literature review using ICHUSHI and the PubMed databases on PRO measures for RA published from January 2011 to August 2015 in Japan.

Results:

After removing duplicates, 2423 manuscripts were found. From these, 100 manuscripts were included for review and analysis. We found 29 PRO tools that were used to assess various domains of health such as general well-being, pain, functionality, and fatigue. More than 90% of the studies utilized PRO tools for research purpose. Only one study reported PRO tool implementation in the routine medical care.

Conclusion:

The importance of PROs is recognized in Japan. PRO tools varied significantly and were mostly used for research purposes, while reports on the use of PRO measures in routine medical care were limited. Despite the awareness of PROs in the research community, unmet needs remain among RA patients in Japan. Further work is needed to investigate ways in which PROs can better reflect these unmet needs and be utilized in routine medical care.

Quadrotor is a kind of unmanned aerial vehicle that have the ability to take of vertically and maintaining its position while flying mid-air. Flying a quadrotor sometimes needs a stable altitude to perform a specific mission. A stable altitude will make easier for pilot to control the movement of the quadrotor to certain direction.This study designed and implemented a system that can stabilises the altitude of a quadrotor by using Fuzzy-PID method. Altitude control system needed to help pilot controls the altitude stability without adjusting the throttle. Control with PID method is a common control system to be implemented on a quadrotor. This control system has a constant that can be tuned with fuzzy logic with linguistic approach to improve the response time when compensating an error.  The result of this study shows that Fuzzy PID control method generate a better response time compared with the PID-only method. The implementation of PID control generate an altitude stabilisation with a mean value steady state error of ±1,86 cm, whereas the PID Fuzzy generate a mean value of steady state error of ±1,22 cm.

Authors: Wang Songtao , Kenderdine Tristan , Chi Qishui
Published: May 2017

In China’s present economic development, factor misallocation and labor’s low income-share both are important and interrelated, with factor misallocation being an important reason for the decline in China’s labor income-share. Theoretical modeling demonstrates that if capital-labor is substitutable, the factor misallocation will lead to a decline in labor income-share. Empirical studies, using 2001-2013 provincial panel data show that factor misallocation significantly reduces labor income-share, even after controlling for other factors that affect the labor-share. The conclusion is both significant and robust. Therefore, economic policy which optimizes factor allocation will improve labor’s income-share.

Published: May 2017

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease related to swelling of joints which leads to restriction in movement due to pain and deformity in mainly in feet, ankle, wrist and fingers. It is an autoimmune disease and the manifestations caused due to its occurrence are not clearly understood. In today’s time, it has been observed that comorbid conditions account for most of the deaths as they influence the outcome of RA and limit therapeutic options. The most common comorbid conditions which are diagnosed in RA patients are generally cardiovascular abnormalities, several infections, certain mental disorders and malignancies. Among which cardiovascular comorbid diseases are the most common kind relating to disorders of heart and blood vessel that eventually leads to severe conditions like angina, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, rheumatic heart disease and many more. RA affects the quality of life of patients directly or indirectly but it mainly shows a significant increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Hence, it is essential to diagnose and understand about the related manifestations when one is suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. These studies will aid to make better treatment and management strategies. Hence, an attempt has been made in this review article regarding the epidemiology, impact of both the diseases and related risk factors. It also gives information in brief about the pathological causes of the comorbidity and summarizes measures that may be used in the prevention and treatment of these conditions.
