Study compares ultrasound versus conventional strategies in early rheumatoid arthritis

Researchers have found that using the information form ultrasound technology in the treatment protocol did not affect the outcome of the patients with Rheumatoid arthritis. The study titled, “Ultrasound versus Conventional Treat-To-Target Strategies in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Outcome Data from a 2-year Randomized Controlled Strategy Trial,” was presented at the 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting.

Indoor plants do not improve indoor air quality

A new study published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology in November says houseplants aren’t much good at removing pollutants from your home. The researchers systematically reviewed a dozen other studies, looking at factors related to indoor air quality, and especially on the contribution of potted plants to the efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
