Osteoarthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) are recognized as two well-known diseases that cause the issues of joint pain and stiffness in the human body. Inflammation in the joints is the specific condition that prevails in case of both these health concerns. Detailed consideration of both these diseases of joints reveals that there is the prevalence of many differences and similarities. It is important to critically examine various aspects associated with OA and RA to identify the better approaches of treatment.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
The health issue of RA recognized as the one common disorder of joint that prevails in the form of a long-term autoimmune problem. Warm, swollen, and painful joints are the significant aspects associated with this particular health issue ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"0teogV4O","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Nielen et al., 2004)","plainCitation":"(Nielen et al., 2004)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1222,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/DUN3CGBQ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/DUN3CGBQ"],"itemData":{"id":1222,"type":"article-journal","title":"Specific autoantibodies precede the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis: a study of serial measurements in blood donors","container-title":"Arthritis & Rheumatism: Official Journal of the American College of Rheumatology","page":"380-386","volume":"50","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Nielen","given":"Markus MJ"},{"family":"Schaardenburg","given":"Dirkjan","non-dropping-particle":"van"},{"family":"Reesink","given":"Henk W."},{"family":"Van de Stadt","given":"Rob J."},{"family":"Horst‐Bruinsma","given":"Irene E.","non-dropping-particle":"van der"},{"family":"Koning","given":"Margret HMT","non-dropping-particle":"de"},{"family":"Habibuw","given":"Moud R."},{"family":"Vandenbroucke","given":"Jan P."},{"family":"Dijkmans","given":"Ben AC"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2004"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Nielen et al., 2004).
