Geode development and multiple fractures in rheumatoid arthritis.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Previous evidence suggests the role of psychological stress in triggering the onset of autoimmunity. We aimed to investigate whether stress following major and minor life events could precede the onset of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). The role of coping strategies and social support, as compensating buff...
