Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) are the two most prevalent coexisting autoimmune diseases due to their similar pathogenesis. Considering the potential effect of AITD on the severity of RA disease, this study aimed to determine the association between thyroid dysfunction, anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) positivity, AITD, and RA disease severity in the Iranian population.
Methods: Three hundred and fifty RA patients who presented to Shahid Beheshti tertiary care center, Qom, Iran, were included in this cross-sectional study.
Article Synopsis
- - This study systematically reviews brain MRI findings in COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms, highlighting that over one-third experience such issues.
- - After analyzing 25 publications and 3118 cases, significant MRI findings include acute/subacute infarction, olfactory bulb abnormalities, white matter abnormalities, and cerebral microbleeds.
- - The research indicates a notable prevalence of detectable neurological abnormalities in COVID-19 patients, emphasizing the need for further exploration of these symptoms and their implications.
Objective: This systematic review aims to show the efficiency of Erenumab in the preventive therapy of episodic and chronic migraine, which is still under research.
Background: Migraine is a chronic neurovascular disorder that causes disability and a social burden. There are various medications used for migraine prevention regimens, most of which have unwanted side effects and aren't often quite effective.
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common chronic non-organ-specific autoimmune diseases; meanwhile, autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is the most common organ-specific autoimmune disease that can lead to hypo or hyperthyroidism. Although the etiology of both diseases is complex with a combination of genetic and environmental factors, there are overlaps in genes contributing to the pathogenesis of both diseases. Numerous studies found a correlation between thyroid abnormality and RA in different populations, yet some didn't.

Methods: Self-rated wellness/health, demographics, smoking, mood, sleep, physical activity, diet, symptoms/signs, body mass index and laboratory findings in 142 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were collected in the current cross-sectional study. Multivariable generalized additive model (GAM) was employed to study the association of self-rated wellness/health score and lifestyle factors.
