Article Synopsis
- The JAK2-V617F mutation is the most common genetic disorder linked to chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms in patients.
- A study was conducted on 101 patients to identify risk factors for thrombosis in essential thrombocytosis and polycythemia vera.
- Results showed that venous thrombosis before diagnosis was notably higher in JAK2 positive patients, while after diagnosis, risk was similar across both JAK2 positive and negative groups, significantly increasing in elderly patients.
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relation between angiogenesis indicators and T helper 17 cytokine group in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) which is a disease characterized by impaired angiogenesis and autoimmune response. In our study, patients with SSc are compared with patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and healthy controls. Forty SSc patients, 18 primary RP cases, and 20 healthy controls were included in our study.

The medical records of AS patients diagnosed at single academic medical center were reviewed for clinical evidence of amyloidosis. During routine follow-up, routine urinalysis was performed at each visit; patients with significant proteinuria underwent rectal biopsy.
