Detection of Angiogenic T Cells and Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Behçet Disease and Determination of Their Relationship with Disease Activity.

Angiogenic T (Tang) cells and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a role in maintaining vascular integrity and repair. This study considers the association between them and Behçet disease (BD) and disease activity. Fifty patients with BD and forty-five age- and gender-matched healthy controls were included in the study.

Evaluation of histopathological results of minor salivary gland biopsies in patients with the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate which of the histomorphological criteria defined in labial salivary gland biopsy are more valuable in diagnosing Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and to examine its correlation with clinical and laboratory findings.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2005 and January 2019, a total of 927 patients (104 males, 823 females; mean age: 51 years; range, 19 to 85 years) who underwent minor salivary gland biopsies with the suspicion of SS were retrospectively analyzed. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) 2016 classification criteria were used for the classification of SS.

Fall Risk in Patient with Behcet's Disease and Related Factors.

Objective: Balance disorders and related falls can cause serious situations that affect the lives of a large number of people and may even be fatal. We have not found any studies about fall risk in Behçet's disease in the literature before. In this trial, we aimed to investigate the fall risk in patients with Behçet's disease using an objective computerized technique and evaluated the risk factors for falls in these patients.
