Neuropathic Pain Component in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis and the Relationship of Neuropathic Pain and Disease Activity Parameters: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: It is known that neuropathic pain frequently accompanies rheumatological diseases. In this study, neuropathic pain in Ankylosing Spondylitis(AS) and its relationship with disease activity were investigated.

Methods: Forty patients with AS were included.

Evaluation of the relationship between Knee Osteoarthritis and Meniscus Pathologies.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a common, degenerative joint disease that causes chronic pain that affects daily life. Our study aims to evaluate geriatric patients aged 65 and over with knee pain in terms of osteoarthritis with radiography and magnetic resonance imaging and to investigate its relationship with meniscal pathologies.

Methods: Radiography and magnetic resonance imaging of patients aged 65-88 years with knee pain were evaluated in terms of knee osteoarthritis and staging was performed.

Relationship between sacroiliitis and inflammatory markers in familial Mediterranean fever.

Objective: Familial Mediterranean fever is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sacroiliitis observed in familial Mediterranean fever and hematological inflammatory markers.

Methods: In this study, 168 familial Mediterranean fever patients were examined.

Diagnostic value of Achilles tendon shear wave elastography in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: A case-control study.

Objectives: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) can cause peripheral arthritis, tendinitis, enthesitis, and axial skeletal involvement. This study aims to determine early tendon damage by shear wave elastography (SWE) for the Achilles tendon in AS patients.

Methods: 48 AS patients and 48 asymptomatic individuals were included in the study.
