Clinical features of Behcet's disease in Mongolia: a multicenter study.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the clinical features of patients with Behcet's disease (BD) in Mongolia.

Methods: Patients were identified and examined from six medical institutions in Mongolia from January 2015 to January 2019. BD was diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria for BD established by the International Study Group.

Asymptomatic Mongolian middle-aged women with high homocysteine blood level and atherosclerotic disease.

Growing numbers of studies have shown that hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hyperhomocysteinemia has been found to be negatively associated with the vitamin B group, especially folate and cobalamin. Because of the relative scarcity of fruits and vegetables in Mongolian foods, and the high cardiovascular diseases rate in Mongolia, we examined homocysteine level and its relation with atherosclerotic change in middle-aged Mongolian women.
