Materials And Methods: The study included 956 PsA patients observed in the Russian register, 411 (43%) men and 545 (57%) women. The average age of men/women was 46.
Aim: To develop an integral index of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) activity.
Materials And Methods: 117 patients with PsA (M/F - 63/54) were included. Patients' age 44±11 years, psoriasis (Ps) duration - 213±153 months, PsA duration - 73.
Background: Calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) may be associated with developing of diastolic dysfunction (DD).
Aim: To determine the variability of echocardiographic parameters in patients with CPPD receiving anti-inflammatory therapy.
Materials And Methods: Twenty six patients with CPPD and osteoarthritis (OA) from 18 to 65 years old were included in the case-control study.
