The group of spondyloarthritis (SpA) disorders shares common clinical manifestations, including internal derangement (ID) temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This study aimed to investigate SpA activity in patients with ID TMJ. We assessed 200 neck pain using the Assessment Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria. TMJ was examined Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD protocol). Patients were divided into three groups: symptomatic TMJ, asymptomatic or healthy...
Objectives Active immunization, or vaccination, with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-Kinoid (TNF-K) is a novel approach to induce polyclonal anti-TNF antibodies in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. This study was performed transfer the proof of concept obtained mice model rheumatoid arthritis (RA) into human. We designed pilot demonstrate feasibility therapeutic vaccination RA. Methods phase IIa, placebo-controlled, multicenter adults RA who previously experienced secondary failure TNF...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease caused by mechanical damage and metabolic factors that support the development of low-grade inflammation. Increased levels T helper 1 pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum OA patients may granulysin (GNLY) mediated cytotoxicity, which in-turn contribute to pathogenesis OA. In present study, GNLY expression cytotoxic/apoptotic mechanisms peripheral blood were assessed. A total 40 non-obese women (median age 64 years old) with knee OA, controls 62...
Care/nursing homes globally have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and disproportionately experienced a high rate of mortality which led to introduction strict isolation policies. However, while there are studies on mortality, epidemiology, staffing challenges, mismanagement in long-term care as result COVID-19, appears be paucity information regarding Quality Life (QoL), happiness, associated well-being elderly residents these homes. Therefore, we examined if happiness level,...
To compare characteristics of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to without RA.The sample included 80 (aged 33 73 years; 88% women and 22% men) 40 each group. An international diagnostic protocol for TMDs was followed.Arthralgia the most prevalent TMD RA Orofacial pain more common group than controls (42.5% vs 15%, P = .031), higher chronic grade intensity (P ≤ .005). Somatization depression were also increased < .001). In multiple logistic...
Introduction: Spondyloarthropathy is a group of different chronic rheumatic diseases. There are number physiotherapy interventions that all aim to support the trunk flexors and extensors, relieve pain, mobilize joints. The this study compare isokinetic exercises (IE) with standard exercise protocol in patients spondyloarthropathies. Methods: A total 16 subjects participated were randomly divided into two groups: (SP) other (IP). Both groups underwent same follow-up testing: Muscle strength,...
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) is a serine which has been suggested to play role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, but its mediator actions have not well investigated patients with spondyloarthritides.The purpose this study was investigate clinical relevance changes serum DPP activity and concentration these diseases.Serum significantly decreased spondyloarthritides arthritis compared control group, while increased.Among patients, reactive arthritis.No difference observed or...
