The aim of this study is to investigate the effect systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) on choroidal thickness (CT) in subfoveal and perifoveal area as measured by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) patients with SLE.Fifty-eight SLE (study group) 58 healthy individuals (control were enrolled study. CT EDI-OCT.The mean (μm) subfoveal, nasal, temporal was 231.2 ± 57.6, 190.56 30.64, 222.65 37.45 group 297.5 45.1, 248.34 39.67, 286.54 49.65 control group, respectively...
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...
To investigate subfoveal and perifoveal choroidal thickness (CT) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).A study group of 117 RA a control 46 age-matched healthy individuals were enrolled the study. Subfoveal CTs measured using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Perifoveal CT was 1,500 µm nasally temporally apart from foveal center. Relationship between disease activity score 28 (DAS-28) also evaluated.The mean values groups 226.90 ± 43.61 μm 299.74 48.06 μm,...
Abstract Objectives To assess the lung involvement in patients with Still’s disease, an inflammatory disease assessing both children and adults. exploit possible associated factors for parenchymal these patients. Methods A multicentre observational study was arranged consecutive characterized by among those included AIDA (AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance) Network Registry. disease-lung defined presence of pleuritis, features, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and/or pulmonary...
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the central sensitization (CS) in patients with autoimmune connective tissue diseases (ACTDs) and its relationship disease activity, laboratory findings, medical treatments, organ involvements, comorbidity. Methods One hundred eleven ACTDs 40 healthy individuals were included. All divided into three groups terms of their diseases: Sjögren's syndrome (SS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The CS was assessed using inventory...
During the last decade, spondyloarthritis (SpA) has increasingly been considered a disease at crossroads between autoimmunity and autoinflammation. Some patients may even present with autoinflammatory-related manifestations, including fever, hidradenitis suppurativa, other neutrophilic dermatoses, an unusually high increase in inflammatory markers. Therefore, subgroup of SpA be identified, specific details about this cluster need to investigated. In regard, AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance...
Objective Aim of this study is to compare the thiol/disulfide variables before treatment, at 3rd and 6th months biologic treatment in patients with axSpA.
Objective: Comorbidities may have an impact on the patient’s quality of life and even survival. Treatment resistance in Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) indirectly indicate severe disease, with inflammation-related comorbidities increasing as severity rises. In literature, there are no sufficient studies regarding FMF patients. this study, we aimed to evaluate comorbid conditions patients according treatment steps. Material Method: We retrospectively reviewed 740 treated at our...
In systemic sclerosis (SSc), the gastrointestinal (GI) system is most frequently affected internal organ system, with involvement extending from mouth to anus. The aim of this study was define GI and malnutrition risk in SSc patients investigate relationship other SSc-related pathologies. This single-center, observational cross-sectional included according 2013 criteria American College Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism, healthy volunteers. severity symptoms assessed University...
Objective This study aims to investigate discriminatory ability of the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Inflammation Response (SIRI), and Neutrophil Percentage-to-Albumin Ratio (NPAR), in differentiating Behçet's Syndrome (BS) organ involvements from mucocutaneous involvement.
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on first tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) treatment response and retention in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: The study included adult RA (with M05 M06 ICD codes) registered TURKBIO database receiving their TNFi treatment. Data demographic, clinical, laboratory features, disease activity scores, other follow-up parameters (at beginning months 6 12) were collected. Log-Rank test Kaplan-Meier curve used determine...
Abstract Objectives Paraneoplastic arthritis ( PA ) may mimic rheumatic diseases. While presenting the demographic and laboratory features of patients diagnosed with , this study also aims to provide possible appropriate tools differentiate cases from early rheumatoid ERA ). Methods Sixty‐five (male/female: 43/22) 15 different rheumatology clinics 50 consecutive 13/37) fulfilling 2010 American College Rheumatology ACR criteria for diagnosis if RA Gaziantep Early Arthritis Trial GREAT as...
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the salivary and lacrimal glands. There increasing evidence indicating that vitamin D important in initiation propogation range diseases which may include SS. The aim present study was to evaluate plasma (vit D) levels patients with SS compare this control group.One hundred seven (97 [90.7%] female 10 [9.3%] male) 74 healthy controls (64 [86.5%] [13.5%] were included into study. Plasma baseline...

Methods This a clinical, physician-driven, population- electronic-based instrument designed for retrospective prospective collection real-life data. Data gathering based on Research Electronic Capture (REDCap) tool intended obtain...
Still's disease is more frequently observed in the paediatric context, but a delayed onset not exceptional both adulthood and elderly. However, whether paediatric-onset, adult-onset elderly-onset represent expressions of same continuum or different clinical entities still matter controversy. The aim this study to search for any differences demographic, features response treatment between pediatric-onset, disease.Subjects included were drawn from International AutoInflammatory Disease...
