2) soft tissue swelling (arthritis) of 3 or more joint areas observed by a physician
3) swelling (arthritis) of the proximal interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, or wrist joints
4) symmetric swelling (arthritis)
Criteria 1 through 4 must have been present for at least 6 weeks.
5) rheumatoid nodules
6) the presence of rheumatoid factor

Beef contain naturally-occurring substances called purines. Purines are commonly found in plants, animals, and humans. In some individuals who are susceptible to purine-related problems, excessive intake of these substances can cause health problems.
Since purines can be broken down to form uric acid, excess accumulation of purines in the body can lead to excess accumulation of uric acid.
The health condition called “gout” and the formation of kidney stones from uric acid are two examples of uric acid-related problems that can be related to excessive intake of purine-containing foods.
Early Retirement Doesn't Help One Live Longer, a Study Shows
Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Early retirement doesn't help workers live longer, and it may even shorten one's life, according to a study published today by the British Medical Journal.
The life expectancy of employees who retired at 55 was significantly reduced compared with those who retired at the age of 65, said Shan Tsai of Shell Health Services in Houston, who studied more than 3,500 former workers at Royal Dutch Shell Plc between January 1973 and December 2003.
In cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), people experience bouts or cycles of severe nausea and vomiting that last for hours or even days and alternate with longer periods of no symptoms. CVS occurs mostly in children, but the disorder can affect adults, too.
CVS has no known cause. Each episode is similar to the previous ones. The episodes tend to start at about the same time of day, last the same length of time, and present the same symptoms at the same level of intensity. Although CVS can begin at any age in children and adults, it usually starts between the ages of 3 and 7. In adults, episodes tend to occur less often than they do in children, but they last longer. Furthermore, the events or situations that trigger episodes in adults cannot always be pinpointed as easily as they can in children.
