Real-time strategy (RTS) refers to a time-based video game that centers around using resources to build units and defeat an opponent. Real-time strategy games are often compared to turn-based strategy games, where each player has time to carefully consider the next move without having to worry about the actions of his opponent.
There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis. Treatments can improve symptoms and possibly prevent worsening. This may include medication, exercise, and surgery. Medications used include NSAIDs, steroids, disease modifying antirheumatic drugs such as methotrexate, and biologic agents such as infliximab.
Ankylosing spondylitis primarily affects the spine or back. In a person with ankylosing spondylitis, the joints and ligaments that normally permit the spine to move become inflamed and stiff. The bones of the spine may grow together, causing the spine to become rigid and inflexible.
