Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the association between antiphospholipid antibodies and non-thrombotic non-gestational manifestations systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods Systemic erythematosus patients with persistently positive or anticoagulant were identified grouped as syndrome (SLE-APS), antibodies/lupus without (SLE-aPL), negative aPLs (SLE-No aPL). Groups compared in terms laboratory features retrospectively. Results A total 150 patients, 26 SLE-APS, 25 SLE-aPL,...
Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is one of the most common acquired causes hypercoagulability. The 2023 American College Rheumatology (ACR) / European Alliance Associations for (EULAR) APS Classification Criteria were specified as new classification criteria with high specificity use in observational studies and research. primary objective this study was to evaluate performance ACR/EULAR a real-world rheumatology department.
Background/Objective Interleukin (IL) 35 is a member of the IL-12 family. Studies show that IL-35 an important anti-inflammatory cytokine and suppresses effector T-cell activity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate serum levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients its potential relation with clinical findings. Methods We conducted cross-sectional analysis 70 SSc 29 healthy volunteers single center 5 months' period. Extension skin fibrosis was evaluated by using modified Rodnan score. Disease...
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic systemic disease characterized by vascular damage, autoimmunity, and fibrosis in the skin internal organs. In this study, we tried to determine causes of severe infection patients with SSc reveal factors associated infection.We retrospectively examined 214 between January 2010 August 2020. Forty-seven at least one 167 without were compared.A total 76 episodes infections detected 47 (22%) patients. Common included pneumonia, infected digital ulcer,...

A prospective study was conducted to determine the cut-off values of nuchal skin-fold thickness (NFT) with false-positive rates for each gestational week (GW) chromosomal abnormalities during 2nd trimester pregnancy. total 2,313 women normal singleton pregnancies were included in study. Cases multiple gestations, aneuploidy and major congenital malformations excluded. The distribution NFT between 15th 24th GW determined. significant positive correlation noted GW. Statistically differences...
The aims of this study were to compare the frequency Helicobacter pylori between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and without methotrexate (MTX)-related gastrointestinal system (GIS) intolerance, demonstrate associated factors such intolerance.The data 9756 RA who presented January 2011 December 2020 evaluated. Methotrexate-related GIS intolerance was defined as discontinuation MTX owing dyspeptic symptoms despite supportive measures detected in 1742 (31.3%) among 5572 users. A total...
Background/aim: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of anti-RNA polymerase (RNAP) III and other autoantibodies in a group Turkish patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) their relation clinical features. Materials methods: The anti-RNAP was analyzed 93 SSc control groups including 86 lupus erythematosus (SLE) 65 healthy subjects, respectively. Their relationship diseases findings assessed cross-sectional manner. Results: Prevalences were 2/93 (2.2%) SSc, 1/86 (1.2%) SLE, 1/65 (1.5%) there...
Calprotectin is an inflammatory biomarker which assesses disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objective of this study was to test whether serum calprotectin associated with clinical and ultrasonographic patients RA, analyse its predicting value for evaluation despite normal C-Reactive protein (CRP) levels.We included 80 RA 30 healthy subjects. Patients were examined clinically by ultrasound, (US7 score) along laboratory parameters (calprotectin, CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation...
Behçet syndrome (BS) is a multisystemic chronic vasculitic disease. Among previous studies, although there are some that showed increased risk of subclinical atherosclerosis in BS, also others the opposite. The objective this study to evaluate BS by using cutoff value for intima-media thickness 2013 European Society Cardiology/European Hypertension guideline.We conducted cross-sectional analysis 100 patients and 30 healthy volunteers at single center 4-month period. All ultrasound scans were...
