Approximately 30-45% of patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) have been reported to attacks despite colchicine treatment. Currently, data on the treatment colchicine-unresponsive or colchicine-intolerant FMF are limited; most promising alternatives seem be anti-interleukin-1 (anti-IL-1) agents. Here we report our experience off-label use anti-IL-1 agents in a large group patients.In all, 21 centers from different geographical regions Turkey were included current study. The medical...
Objective. To assess the performance of new 2012 provisional European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College Rheumatology (ACR) polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) clinical classification criteria in discriminating PMR from other mimicking conditions compared with previous 5 diagnostic a multicenter prospective study. Methods. Patients older than 50 years, presenting new-onset bilateral shoulder pain elevated acute-phase reactants (APR), were assessed for fulfillment and old...
The prevalence of atherosclerotic risk factors and disease in Takayasu's arteritis (TAK) has not been well defined. We aimed to assess the frequency cardiovascular (CV) incidence CV events (CVEs) patients with TAK from two ethnically different populations.Patients followed at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey were included this retrospective study. Patients compared age-, sex- calendar year-matched controls same geographical region without TAK. 2008...
OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to evaluate the demographic characteristics critically ill patients and determine intensive care unit (ICU) mortality its predictors. METHODS: This was undertaken in Istanbul Medeniyet University Göztepe Training ResearchHospital Medical ICU.Between May 2012 January 2013, 111 (53 female, 58 male; mean age, 73.79±14.73,mean length ICU stay, 9.1±10.7;prevalence geriatric patients, 77.5%) were admitted ICU.The common indications for admission, prevalence...
To determine the frequency of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) compared to healthy subjects (HS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) ability cardiovascular (CV) risk indices detecting SSc atherosclerosis.A total 110 (102 females 8 males, mean ± SD age 50.5 11.9 years), age- sex-matched RA patients, 51 HS without CV disease were examined ultrasonography (US). Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) >0.90 mm and/or carotid plaques used as gold standard...
Abstract Aim This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Chronic Care Model (CCM)‐based interventions on primary outcomes (self‐efficacy, quality life/QoL, patient satisfaction) and secondary (activities daily living/ADL, metabolic control variables, stroke knowledge level, healthy eating habits, physical activity, taking regular medication, measuring blood pressure regularly, living in harmony with disease, regarding telephone interviews) patients ischemic stroke. Method The...
The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between course Behçet's disease (BD), disease-specific fears, and work productivity activity impairment.In cross-sectional study, 110 consecutive BD patients were included. Work Productivity Activity Impairment questionnaire used.In group employed patients, 30.41% had missed during previous week. mean percentages daily impairment higher in with musculoskeletal involvement (39.81 ± 33.61%) compared those without (23.48 32.45%) (P = 0.008)....
Objective. Major salivary gland ultrasonography (SGUS) is a widely used imaging technique to evaluate involvement in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS). The aim of this study was the relationship between SGUS, flow rate (SFR) as an objective measure function, and oral health-related quality life (OHRQOL) patient-reported outcome (PROM) pSS cohort. Methods. Sixty-six patients with were examined by SGUS according Hocevar Milic scoring systems. Patients inhomogeneity/hypoechoic areas scores ≥ 2...
Abstract Background Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia (UNT) is a unique vascular dermatosis of ambiguous aetiology. Objective To investigate the role neurological disorder in pathogenesis UNT. Methods We investigated eight consecutive patients with unilateral telangiectasia. Detailed dermatological and examinations, magnetic resonance imaging were performed on each patient. In case presence dysesthesia over skin lesion, electroneuromyography was to determine any relationships between lesions...
Radiographic severity of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) shows such great variance that some patients never develop syndesmophytes throughout the entire disease span, whereas bamboo spine relatively early.To study association between ERAP1, IL23R and PTGER4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) radiographic in AS patients.rs27044 rs30187 (ERAP1), rs11209032 (IL23R) rs10440635 (PTGER4) SNPs were genotyped 235 fulfilling modified New York criteria. Patients classified as mild- severe-AS according...
Purpose: To describe posterior segment findings of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and compare them with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods: A total 11 patients primary APS, 29 secondary APS patients, SLE without were included. All referred from rheumatology clinic for detailed ophthalmologic examination. When had suspicious lesions, fundus fluorescein angiography was performed (n = 56).Results: The most common retinal examination finding peripheral venous tortuosity (17.5%) in which...
The aim of the present study was to predict paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in acute ischemic stroke patients with presumed cryptogenic embolic etiology.In this retrospective cohort study, demographics, blood tests, data neuroimaging studies such as non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), standard 12-lead electrocardigraphy (ECG), 24-hour Holter ECG, echocardiography collected. diagnostic work-up detect (AF) either medical history patient or ECG...
Diagnostic neurosonology techniques including transcranial Doppler (TCD), color imaging (TCDI) and power motion-mode (PMD) TCD provide information about various aspects of cerebrovascular status such as microemboli detection, dynamic autoregulation long-duration real-time monitoring flow characteristics. Although most the provided cannot be obtained by any other methodology, is critical in clinical decision-making care neurovascular diseases, these modalities are widely underutilized....
