The association between IL17, fatigue and quality of life in psoriatic arthritis patients.

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition. It impacts patients both physically and psychologically. Fatigue may be an early symptom of PsA, which impairs quality of life.

Identification of serum interleukin-13 and interleukin-13 receptor subunit expressions: Rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease.

Aim Of The Work: To identify the role of serum IL-13, and its receptor subunit expressions as a serologic marker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated ILD (RA-ILD).

Patients And Methods: Fifty RA patients with ILD and 50 RA patients without ILD were examined, in addition to 50 controls. Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS-28), the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and medication history were evaluated.

Regenerative injection therapy and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in primary fibromyalgia treatment: A comparative study.

Objective: This study compared the effectiveness of regenerative injection therapy (RIT), i.e. prolotherapy, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome.

The role of auditory evoked potentials and otoacoustic emissions in early detection of hearing abnormalities in Behçet's disease patients. A case control study.

Objectives: To determine the types and to assess the role of auditory evoked potentials and otoacoustic emissions in early detection of hearing abnormalities in Behçet's disease (BD) patients. Their correlations with disease activity were also considered.

Methods: Thirty patients with BD and thirty apparently sex- and age-matched healthy volunteers were included in this study.

Role of Interleukin 37 as a Novel Proangiogenic Factor in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate interleukin 37 (IL-37) levels in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), its expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and correlation with disease activity and angiogenesis.

Methods: Seventy JIA patients and 50 control subjects were examined. The Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score in 27 joints (JADAS-27) was calculated.

Audiovestibular function in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Conclusion: It was found that JIR children had potential sensory neural hearing loss and vestibular affection. Therefore, this study recommends: early complete audiologic evaluation of JIA child followed by regular follow-up, including TOAEs, extended high-frequency audiometry, and VNG. This follow-up is important for preliminary diagnosis and management in order to prevent the negative impact of hearing loss on a child's life.
