Answer 1

Gout is treated with uricosuric drugs, TMJ disorder is treated with pain relievers, and SLE and RA can be treated with DMARDs and corticosteroids

Step-by-step explanation:

Gout is treated with medications such as uricosuric drugs which increase the excretion of uric acid in urine. TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder can be treated with pain relievers, such as analgesics. SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) and RA (rheumatoid arthritis) are autoimmune conditions that can be treated with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and corticosteroids. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are commonly used to treat all of these conditions as they help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
