The hypothesis that SRUS and localized
CCP
are analogous syndromes is supported by the similarities in clinical presentation and biopsy pathology of patients with these conditions. The theory that rectal mucosal prolapse causes SRUS and localized
CCP
is strengthened by the observation of like pathology in other clinical situations and various animal models in which mucosal prolapse occurs. However, rectal prolapse is not clinically demonstrable in all patients. Therefore, the definitive diagnosis of SRUS and localized
CCP
must depend upon the recognition of specific histopathologic features in rectal biopsy specimens from ulcer margins or otherwise abnormal mucosa. Conservative medical management is satisfactory for most patients, and surgical intervention should be
reserved
for highly selected patients.

With regard to rheumatoid arthritis, remission as currently used in the literature can have two meanings: either a state with persistent absence of clinical and radiological signs of disease activity without being treated for a specific time period, or it may point to a disease state with minimal disease activity during antirheumatic treatment. A risk factor for the first is absence of autoantibodies, with the anti-
CCP
-antibodies as best predictors, whereas risk factors for achieving a drug-induced state of minimal disease activity are not well defined. These definitions of remission refer to different disease states; therefore, we propose that the term remission is
reserved
for patients that are not treated with antirheumatic drugs.
