Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the relationship between functional disability and depression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Twenty-three patients with RA, twenty-seven patients with AS and thirty-five healthy individuals were included. Morning stiffness duration, patient's pain evaluation, Stanford health assessment questionnaire (HAQ), Beck depression inventory (BDI), serum C reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels were evaluated in the RA group. Also, morning stiffness duration, pain levels, Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI), BDI, CRP and ESR levels were measured in the AS group. Significant positive correlations between BDI scores and age, disease duration, pain and HAQ scores were found in the RA group (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.001, respectively). Also, there were similar correlations between BDI scores and disease duration, pain and BASFI scores in the AS group (p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.001, respectively). In conclusion, depression is associated with chronic inflammatory disorders such as RA and AS. In addition, the degree of functional disability may play an important role on depression of these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease and still a major public health problem in many geographic areas including Mediterranean basin and Middle East. Brucellosis causes multisystemic involvement and although rare central nervous system involvement causes serious manifestations. Neurobrucellosis occurs less than 5% of patients and presents with meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, myelopathy, stroke, paraplegia, radiculoneuritis, intracerebral abscess, epidural abscess, demyelination and cranial nerve involvement or any combination of these manifestations. Spastic paraparesis and the sensorineural involvement are rarely reported in the literature. Methods: Herein we present a 28 years-old man with spastic paraparesis and sensorineural hearing loss due to neurobrucellosis. Results: The patient was treated with antibiotics combination for 6 months and underwent rehabilitation program. Conclusions: Neurobrucellosis should be ruled out in patients with unexplained neurological symptoms and/or sensorineural hearing loss particularly in those living in endemic areas.

Abstract

WOS: 000435672000003, PubMed ID: 30207568, Objectives: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) in Turkey using the same telephone questionnaire developed for screening RA and SpA in France and used in Serbia and Lithuania. Material and methods: The study was performed in two steps. In step I, the French questionnaire was translated into Turkish and validated through a group of 200 patients (80 males, 120 females; mean age 44.0 +/- 13.1 years; range, 19 to 75 years) followed up at the rheumatology departments of University Hospitals in Antalya and Ankara. In step II, the validated Turkish questionnaire was administered face-to-face to randomly selected 4,012 subjects (1,670 males, 2,342 females; mean age 41.5 +/- 16.8 years; range, 16 to 97 years) by trained general practitioners across the country, in 25 provinces for case detection. The subjects who were suspected of having RA or SpA in accordance with the questionnaire were invited to the nearest university hospital for rheumatologic examination in order to confirm the diagnosis. Results: In step II, a total of 25 subjects (2 males, 23 females) were diagnosed as RA. The standardized RA prevalence for the general population of Turkey was calculated as 0.56% (95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.33-0.79), 0.10% (95% CI; -0.05-0.25) for males and 0.89% (95% CI; 0.51-1.27) for females. A total of 18 subjects (3 males, 15 females) were diagnosed as SpA. The standardized SpA prevalence for the general population of Turkey was 0.46% (95% CI; 0.25-0.67), 0.17% (95% CI; -0.03-0.37) for males and 0.65% (95% CI; 0.32-0.98) for females. The prevalence of RA was highest in the Northern region (2.00%) and the prevalence of SpA was highest in the Central region (1.49%). Conclusion: The prevalences of RA and SpA in Turkey are close to each other and there are significant inter-regional variations in prevalences of both RA and SpA., Sanofi Health Products Company, Turkey, This survey was supported with an unconditional Grant to Turkish League Against Rheumatism from Sanofi Health Products Company (former Aventis), Turkey. The secretary expenses was covered by EULAR Standing Committee on Epidemiology and Health Services Research.

Abstract

WOS: 000352060500003, Objectives: This study investigates the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Turkey, and attempts to identify strategies for the prevention, treatment, and support of RA. Patients and methods: A total of 2,359 patients (1,966 females, 393 males; mean age 51.6 +/- 12.5 years; range 18 to 75 years) with RA from 36 centers across Turkey, who were recorded in the Turkish League Against Rheumatism (TLAR) RA Registry between September 2007 and March 2011, were evaluated. Patients' demographic and clinical data were recorded. Disease activity, functional status, and radiographic damage were measured using the Disease Activity Score 28, the Health Assessment Questionnaire, and van der Heijde modified Sharp scoring method. Results: The mean duration of academic education received was 5.2 +/- 3.8 years, and 74.6% of the patients were homemakers. Non-biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs were used by 91.0% of the patients, while 10.2% used biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. The mean Disease Activity Score 28, Health Assessment Questionnaire, and Sharp scores were 4.0 +/- 1.4, 0.38 +/- 0.37, and 31.2 +/- 57.1, respectively. Of the patients, 17.8% were in remission and 14.1% had low disease activity rates, while 42.7% and 25.5% had moderate and high disease activity rates. Conclusion: The majority of patients with RA in Turkey are middle-aged homemakers. Despite the high rates of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs use, the majority of patients had moderate and high disease activity. These findings indicate that treatment needs of RA patients are not met sufficiently., Wyeth/Pfizer Company, The authors express their gratitude to all members of TLAR RA Study Group for their cooperation and to Wyeth/Pfizer Company for the sponsorship.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the ones with osteoporosis (OP) in elderly patients presenting with musculoskeletal complaints and to evaluate the distribution of region of pain and the medications used for the musculoskeletal disease(s) in these patients. Materials and Methods: 1141 elderly patients who were consecutively admitted to the outpatient clinics in nine different provinces were screened for the diagnosis of OR Age, gender, complaints, diagnosis and current medications related to musculoskeletal system disorder(s) were recorded. Results: 382 elderly (341 female, 41 male) with a mean age of 71.9 +/- 5.3 years had the diagnosis of OR Low (54.5%) and upper back (39.6%) pain were the most common complaints in both sexes. These were followed by knee, hip, cervical and shoulder pain, respectively. Osteoarthritis (36%), lumbar (21%) and cervical spondylosis/stenosis (10%) were the most common musculoskeletal diseases accompanying OR The mean number of drugs used was 3.0 +/- 1.2. The most commonly prescribed anti-osteoporotic agents were bisphosphonates (59%). For the musculoskeletal pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (systemic and/or topical) were used in 46.6% and paracetamol in 24.6% of patients. Conclusion: It is crucial to perform a thorough physical examination to reveal the underlying cause of back pain in elderly osteoporotic patients. Besides, in order to minimize polypharmacy, it should be kept in mind that non-pharmacological approaches can be used for the management of musculoskeletal diseases.

Abstract

Aim: Current guides recommend to evaluate the patients with low back pain complaints with initial clinical assessment and history, and to utilize radiological or other imaging technics, in case of possible diagnosis. The aim of this study was to compare the findings of radiological and clinical assessment, and validate the reliability of spondylolisthesis diagnosed with clinical assessment. This study is conducted on 100 patients with, and 30 patients without (control group) radiological diagnosis of spondylolisthesis, who had applied to Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Haydarpasa Numune Hospital with low back pain complaints in one and a half year. Clinic assessment was consisted of 20 parameters including examinations of motor system such as, sign of slipping observed on palpation and inspection, extension of trunk and increase in lumbar lordosis. Antero-posterior, lateral, oblique and lateral flexion/extension radiographies were used for radiological assessment. Slipping degree and lumbar lordosis angle were measured., Results: Women/men patients ratio was 91/9 in spondylolisthesis group and 22/8 in control group. Age of 69% of patients were 50 and over. In both groups, sciatalgia was observed in more than half of the patients, and no significant difference was detected in localization (p > 0.05). In clinical assessment, weak and drooping abdominal wall, paravertebral muscle hypertrophy, increase in lumbar lordosis, sign of slipping observed on palpation and inspection, hamstring muscle spasm, pain during lateral trunk flexion-extension tasks and during double leg raising task were found to be positively correlated with radiological assesment (p < 0.05)., Conclusion: In our study, a systematic clinical assessment was proved to be useful in determination of possible spondylolisthesis cases. Radiological assessments are required in order to make the diagnosis clear and to determine the grade and prognosis of spondylolisthesis. Advanced imaging techniques like MRI and CT have to be used when neurological symptoms are present, and when surgical intervention is indicated.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial joints, ultimately leading to joint destruction and permanent disability, affecting 1% of the world population. Oxidative stress in rheumatoid inflammation, due to the fact that antioxidant systems are impaired in RA and caused by fee radicals, might have an essential role in etiology of RA. This review includes the interrelation of antioxidants against free radicals in RA patients. There is much evidence that antioxidant team that covers glutathione reductase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and glucose-6-phopshate destroy reactive oxygen species and other free radicals through enzymatic as well as nonenzymatic means. The change in relative levels of antioxidants vis-à-vis free radical formation and level could be used as indicators for effective and earlier diagnosis of RA.

Abstract

This study was performed to determine the effects of short-term dynamic exercise on serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) levels in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Patients with RA or AS and healthy controls were recruited. Dynamic treadmill exercise therapy was accomplished for 20 min/session with all of the participants. There were five sessions per week for 2 weeks. Morning stiffness duration, body pain, Stanford health assessment questionnaire, Ritchie articular index, Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI), and Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI) were evaluated in the RA and AS patients. Laboratory assessments included: erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum C-reactive protein, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3. Clinical and laboratory assessments were recorded at baseline and during exercise treatment on days 7 and 15. Twenty patients with RA, 15 with AS, and 14 healthy controls were included in this study. The pain evaluation, Ritchie, BASDAI, and BASFI scores were significantly improved by the exercise treatment in both patient groups. The important increases were found in circulating IGF-1 in RA (p < 0.001) and AS (p = 0.001) at the end of 2 weeks. In control individuals, serum IGF-1 levels showed a significant decline in the first week (p < 0.05). No significant changes were observed on serum IGFBP-3 levels. Our data suggest that serum IGF-1 levels are increased by the dynamic exercise program in RA and AS patients. The increased IGF-1 may play an important role in the beneficial effects of dynamic exercise therapy in these patients.

Abstract

We conducted this study to assess serum soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) levels and erythrocyte membrane Na(+)K(+) ATPase activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and correlate the levels with disease activity. Levels of sE-selectin were measured in the serum of 20 patients with RA and 20 control subjects by an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. Na(+)K(+) ATPase activity was determined by a colorimetric method in RA patients and healthy controls. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups with respect to demographic data such as age and sex (p > 0.05). The serum levels of sE-selectin, ESR and C-reactive protein (CRP) in RA patients were significantly higher than in healthy controls (p < 0.001). Erythrocyte membrane Na(+)K(+) ATPase activity was significantly lower in the RA group than in the control group (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between soluble E-selectin and ESR (r = 0.457; p < 0.05) and CRP (r = 0.682; p < 0.01) levels. There were statistically significant negative correlations between erythrocyte membrane Na(+)K(+) ATPase activity and ESR (r = -0.450; p < 0.05) and CRP (r = -0.446; p < 0.05) levels. Additionally, a significant negative correlations between sE-selectin and Na(+)K(+) ATPase activity was observed (r = -0.80; p < 0.001). These results show that decreases in erythrocyte membrane Na(+)K(+) ATPase activity and increases in sE-selectin are observed in RA, and that increased levels of sE-selectin may also reflect disease status or activity., (Copyright 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)

Abstract

Serum levels of acute phase reactants (APR) were measured in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the correlations of these parameters with the disease activity score (DAS28) were investigated. The study included 47 patients with RA and 50 healthy controls. Laboratory tests included erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum C-reactive protein (CRP), haptoglobin (Hp), ferritin, and plasma fibrinogen. Disease activity was assessed using the DAS28 score. The means (+/- SD) of ESR, CRP, Hp, ferritin, and fibrinogen levels were respectively 36.0 +/- 23.5 mm/hr, 2.4 +/- 1.9 mg/dl, 121.3 +/- 34.2 mg/dl, 67.7 +/- 36.2 ng/ml, and 371.2 +/- 96.0 mg/dl in the patients with RA, vs 16.4 +/- 11.3 mm/hr, 0.4 +/- 0.3 mg/dl, 104.0 +/- 35.3 mg/dl, 50.9 +/- 23 ng/ml, and 332.2 +/- 58.5 mg/dl in the controls. All of the APR levels were significantly higher in patients vs controls (p < 0.001 for ESR and CRP; p < 0.05 for Hp, ferritin, and fibrinogen). There were significant correlations between serum APR levels and disease activity based on DAS28 score in RA patients (for CRP, r = 0.650, p <0.01; for Hp, r = 0.331, p < 0.05; for ferritin, r = 0.299, p < 0.05; for fibrinogen, r = 0.373, p < 0.01). This study indicates that serum CRP, among the various ARP tests, is the most useful biochemical marker for evaluating the disease activity of patients with RA.
