Potential biomarkers in Behçet's disease: monocyte, neutrophil, platelet, and C-reactive protein to albumin ratios.

Introduction: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the monocyte to albumin ratio (MAR), neutrophil to albumin ratio (NAR), platelet to albumin ratio (PAR), and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) as potential biomarkers for disease activity in patients with Behçet's disease (BD).

Material And Methods: Both BD cases and healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Demographic characteristics, disease duration, and current medications were recorded for all participants.

A Multicenter Randomized Double-Blind Vehicle-Controlled Parallel Group Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of GN-037 Cream in Patients with Mild-to-Moderate Plaque Psoriasis.

Introduction: Topical therapies are used in almost all patients with psoriasis. A novel fixed topical combination cream (GN-037) with a lower concentration (0.0356%) of clobetasol 17-propionate (CP) was developed together with urea, salicylic acid, and retinoic acid to provide a better benefit-risk ratio.

Lumbar Osteoarthritis in Patients with Osteoporosis Evaluated with the Lane and Wilke Scale and its Effect on Dexa Scores.

Objective: This study aimed to compare bone mineral density (BMD) values in patients with lumbar osteoarthritis (OA) with and without osteoporosis (OP). This study evaluated the effect of lumbar osteoarthritis in patients with osteoporosis on Dexa scores using the Lane and Wilke scale.

Methods: A total of 51 individuals with OA, 20 with OP, and 31 without OP were included in the study.

Sexual dysfunction among female patients with rheumatic diseases.

To demonstrate the burden of sexual dysfunction (SD) among females with rheumatic diseases, we conducted a cross-sectional comparative study in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and Behçet's syndrome (BS) along with suitable healthy controls (HCs). Age-matched female patients with SSc (n = 50), SLE (n = 49), and BS (n = 54), along with 52 female HCs were included in this study between April and October, 2021. Sociodemographic features were recorded, and psychometric tests, i.
