Objective: In this study, our pregnant systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) cohort, which was under medical surveillance of both our Rheumatology and Obstetrics departments, was analyzed. We intended to determine the effects of pregnancy on disease activity and the correlation between disease flares and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: One hundred sixty eight pregnancy data involving 136 patients with SLE were examined.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate incidence rates, prognoses, and disease-related factors associated with poor outcomes in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) who had coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Methods: Patients with AAV were questioned for a history of COVID-19 in the outpatient setting. Cumulative clinical findings and treatment history were obtained from the patients' medical records.
Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic created concerns among patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Frequency of COVID-19 and impact of lockdown on treatment compliance in patients with vasculitis are largely unknown.
Patients And Method: Patients with ANCA-associated and large vessel vasculitis that have been followed-up in our clinic were contacted by phone and a questionnaire containing home isolation status, treatment adherence and history of COVID -19 between March 1st and June 30th, 2020 was applied.
Background/aims: Low lipase levels, which may be an indication of low production due to organ failure, are frequently encountered in a clinical setting, but are usually overlooked. This study examined the values of low serum lipase levels and other clinical parameters in the diagnosis of several clinical conditions, such as in pancreatic cancer.
Materials And Methods: Patients with low lipase levels (≤8 U/L) were included in this retrospective study.
