The selective cox-2 inhibitor has been widely used in the treatment of Ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The Imrecoxib is a new cox-2 inhibitor. But the treatment strategy has not been decided yet. To determine which is better in treating AS in the methods between on-demand treatment and continuous treatment. To solve this question, we designed this study.
The aim of this study is to explore the effect of a low starch diet (reduction of at least 40%) in the gut bacteria modulation, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, and its relation to disease activity, functional impairment and quality of life in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
This randomized, double-blind, phase III parallel-group non-inferiority study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of prefilled liquid etanercept (Yisaipu) versus lyophilized etanercept powder (Yisaipu) in active ankylosing spondylitis patients.
The study included 55 patients having Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) for at least 1 year diagnosed according to the ASAS classification criteria who presented to our hospital's outpatient clinic and 55 healthy subjects. Demographic data were recorded for 55 AS patients who were subsequently assessed using the BASMI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index) in terms of elasticity and spinal mobility as well as the BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index) to determine functional status, the BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index) to assess the disease activity and the ASQoL (Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire) to evaluate quality of life. The Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20) was used for assessment of alexithymia and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression among patients.
This study was carried out to develop mobile application on the android platform for the subcutaneous anti-TNF drug adherence of ankylosing spondylitis patients and to evaluate the effect of this application on drug compliance. The universe of this experimental designed posttest control group research is consisted of patients prescribed subcutaneous anti-TNF drug due to ankylosing spondylitis in Eskişehir Osmangazi University Health, Application and Research Hospital Rheumatology Polyclinic between 15 December 2017 - 30 June 2019. The patients who constituted the sample of the study were assigned by lot to mobile application and the education booklet groups. The mobile application that includes follow-up and information related to disease information, anti-TNF drug application and management was transferred to mobile phones of patients in mobile application group via bluetooth technology and installed. The patients in the education booklet group were given an education booklet on disease information, antiTNF drug administration and management. In the study, patients were evaluated once before anti-TNF drug treatment and every 6 weeks during 6 months (4 times) after treatment. The data of the study were collected by means of an individual identification form, BASDAI, BASFI, ASQoL and Subcutaneous Anti-TNF Treatment Adherence Questionnaire.
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of 8-week clinical Pilates training on disease-specific indices, core stability, and balance in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of yoga training on functional level, disease activity, spinal mobility, balance, sleep quality, depression and quality of life in AS patients.
This study series consists of four related studies and aims to explore and describe many important elements of alopecia areata over three key areas: (1) the current epidemiology of alopecia areata, (2) the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric co-morbidities in people with alopecia areata, (3) the prevalence and incidence of autoimmune and atopic conditions in people with alopecia areata, and (4) the incidence of common infections in people with alopecia areata.
The aim is to do a French linguistic validation of three questionnaires used in axial Spondyloarthritis (BASFI, BAS-G, Dougados Functional Index). In order to validate the questionnaires, a prospective, qualitative, observational and monocentric study will be conducted.
