At that time there was national research -in which <a href=\"http:\/\/uanl.mx\">Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon<\/a> also participated-, which aimed to find out how many rheumatologic diseases were present in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>They found that two percent of the population suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, thousands of them without knowing it, and even though they had sore hands, they were not diagnosed with arthritis because they did not meet some other symptoms on the usual checklist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uanl.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/patente-dispositivo-electromecanico-deteccion-temprana-artritis-dr-david-vega-morales-uanl-hospital-universitario-2022-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cLa manita\u201d holds the patent<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Dr. Vega related that when he was a resident doctor they studied the way rheumatologists explore patients and found that the compression maneuver was predictive. &#8220;I wanted to know how much to squeeze people&#8217;s hands\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was my doctoral thesis project. To know how much I had to squeeze patients&#8217; hands and teach those who did not explore, or who were not rheumatologists, how much I had to squeeze patients hands, and when the pain was detected, they would send them to me for examination,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most non-rheumatologist physicians are not familiar with the specialized clinical techniques used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis in the early stages in patients with suspected rheumatoid arthritis.
