Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Hanna W van Steenbergen"
- Recent research by Hanna W van Steenbergen focuses on understanding the early phases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), particularly the role of subclinical inflammation, autoantibodies, and the impact of obesity on disease progression.
- Significant findings include the distinction between ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative RA in terms of forefoot inflammation and the identification of interosseous tendon inflammation as a precursor to clinical arthritis in patients with clinically suspect arthralgia.
- Additionally, van Steenbergen's work highlights the paradoxical relationship between obesity and radiographic damage in RA, suggesting that increased body mass index may correlate with lower levels of certain inflammatory markers while still presenting a risk factor for developing RA.
