Significant progress has been made in the field of rheumatology in recent years: creative and technological progress in immunology and genome studies have led to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases and subsequent development of biologic medicines possessing powerful anti-inflammatory efficacy and the ability to shut down the disease-related damage to the cartilage and bone. New methods of diagnostics of rheumatic disorders, both laboratory and imaging, have emerged in order to allow earlier recognition of diseases. The initiatives on the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases in the preclinical stage have been formulated and received much attention recently. Of no doubt, the enthusiasm and energy of rheumatologists and laboratory researchers all over the world have served as a cornerstone for this fascinating progress in a single field. The current issue of Harefuah presents a spectrum of studies in the field of Rheumatology performed by Israeli physicians and researchers.
近年来，风湿病学领域取得了重大进展：免疫学和基因组研究方面的创新与技术进步使人们对风湿性疾病的发病机制有了更深入的了解，进而推动了具有强大抗炎功效且能阻止疾病对软骨和骨骼造成损害的生物药物的研发。为了能更早地识别疾病，出现了实验室和影像学等诊断风湿性疾病的新方法。针对临床前阶段风湿性疾病诊断的倡议已经制定出来，并且最近受到了广泛关注。毫无疑问，世界各地风湿病学家和实验室研究人员的热情与精力是该单一领域取得这一迷人进展的基石。本期《哈雷富阿》展示了以色列医生和研究人员在风湿病学领域开展的一系列研究。
