Hi medicosis perfectionalis. I usually LOVE your mnemonics, but sometimes I use my own. I don't find "HLA-DR4 goes with RA" more memorable by thinking of the 4th finger. Instead, I think of D-4-mity, because RA deforms the hands.

[@abrahammatar1671]

The good thing that makes your channel special is that you try to cover all points in a topic, so that watching a video by you can somehow save time reading it from the textbook, please keep it up! All love.

If RA is chronic disease than why the neutrophil is increase,why not lymphocytes? Plz anyone clear my concept

[@antonyodhiambo613]

there is a surge of neutrophils only during flairs , which is more of an acute attack..the disease has periods of activeness and remission.

[@ThatsWhy-]

Pannus , is it due to TGF-beta?

[@Lymanization]

My anti ccp is negative my RA factor is neg and crp is neg, passed physical exam and x rays...is there a chance I still have RA? Maybe just to early to see it in blood work ect?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

It’s very unlikely. Please check the website www.rheumatology.org , they have the criteria of diagnosis which will help you see how doctors diagnose it. Also, I am not a doctor, so I cannot provide medical advice. Please talk to your doctor. Thanks 🙏

[@Lymanization]

Medicosis Perfectionalis you seem to know more than my Dr to be completely honest! I appreciate your quick response! I just had some symptoms so my dr sent me to Rheumatoid dr. But I have severe anxiety and ocd, again I truly appreciate your response! ...if you are not a Dr, you absolutely should be!
