Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the roles of long noncoding RNAs (NEAT1), microRNAs (miR-21), and cytokine (IL-17) in Behçet's disease (BD) by comparing their levels in Egyptian BD patients to healthy individuals.
- - Findings revealed that NEAT1 and miR-21 were downregulated and IL-17 was upregulated in BD patients, with IL-17 showing significant correlations with certain disease manifestations and treatments.
- - The research suggests that these molecules could be important in understanding BD's pathogenesis, indicating a need for further studies to explore their potential as biomarkers or therapeutic targets.
Data demonstrated the role of natural killer (NK) cells in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We aimed to determine the immunophenotype and frequency of NK cells and their subsets, CXCR3, CD161 expression in blood and renal tissue of SLE patients with and without lupus nephritis and their relationship with disease activity. The study included 31 SLE patients and 11 controls.

Methods: Patients were randomized to receive ultrasound-guided selected nerve root block as a diagnostic tool (study group) or not (control group), but both groups had surgery. Pain evaluation for arm and neck pain was recorded.
Background: Treatment for frozen shoulder (FS) focuses on pain control and restoring movement and strength through physical therapy. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) lesioning of the suprascapular nerve for the treatment of FS pain.
Methods: Forty patients with FS were enrolled and randomly assigned into the intervention group (n = 20) that received PRF and a control group (n = 20) which received medical treatment (NSAIDs).
Objective: This study aims to test the reliability and validity of the translated Arabic version of EQ-5D-5 L.
Methods: The study was conducted on 100 patients operated upon for degenerative spine diseases coming for follow up in the outpatient clinic of a Tertiary care hospital. Test-retest reliability was assessed by completing the self-administered tool in two follow up visits, one week apart, by 50 patients.
