Filter by:The recently discovered association of the hormones 'asprosin, adropin and irisin' with obesity and metabolic status, as well as the fact that periodontal diseases are affected by obesity and nutrition bilaterally, have led us to investigate the relationship between selected target markers and periodontal disease. The primary aim and main objective of this study is to increase the knowledge and to direct future researches as a result of the lack of adequate research in the past and the very limited investigations with these hormones in dentistry and periodontology. Our study was conducted on 122 patients who applied to Adıyaman University Faculty of Dentistry and were referred to the Department of Periodontology for routine periodontal controls. Participants' gender, age, height, weight, BMI, education level, tooth brushing and flossing habits as well as clinical parameters PI, GI, SCD, CAS and SDI were noted. Participants were divided into 4 groups as healthy, gingivitis, initial periodontitis and advanced periodontitis and grouped according to the current periodontal classification of 2017. DOS was collected from the groups for examination and 'asprosin, adropin and irisin' values in the samples were evaluated by ELISA test.
Policystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrinopthy during reproductive period. One of the factors implicated in the pathogenesis is insulin resistance. Asprosin, which is secreted from white adipose tissue is a new candidate for insulin resistance. Myoinositol is known to reduce insulin resistance in PCOS patients. The effect of myoinsitol on serum asprosin levels is unknown yet. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of myoinositol on serum asprosin levels in PCOS patients.
Asprosin is aa adipokine associated with glucose and insulin metabolism. Insulin and glucose metabolism change during pregnancy and studies examining asprosin levels during pregnancy are increasing rapidly. Considering the beneficial effects of myo-inositol to support the physiological pregnancy, recovering and pre-venting adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, we aimed to evaluate the effects of its supplementation on serum asprosin levels in pregnant women.
The goal of this observational study is to describe and assess the presence of perceived fatigue in subjects with MFS and EDS. the main question it aims to answer through the FSS instrument is: - The relationship of fatigue with physical and psychological characteristics, the presence of depressive disorders and insomnia.
POLYTHESE® study is a retrospective, observational, multicentre, case series which examine short and long-term outcomes of using POLYTHESE®. This study will be done on Real World Data to describe the safety and performance of the device. PMCF Study.
Primary outcome is to compare the frequency and clinical features of spinal symptoms between Marfan patients with dural ectasia (cases) and those without (controls). 1. / Frequency of orthostatic headaches 2. / Frequency of low back pain due to orthostasis 3. / Frequency of low back pain during Vasalva maneuvers 4. / Frequency of lumbar claudication 5. / Frequency of root claudication Secondary outcomes are to compare activity limitations, quality of life and intensity of low back and radicular pain between Marfan patients with dural sac ectasia (cases) and those without (controls). 1. / Average intensity of back pain measured on a self-administered digital scale (0 = no pain and 100 = maximum pain) 2. / Average intensity of radicular pain measured on a self-administered digital scale (0 = no pain and 100 = maximum pain) 3. / Activity limitations specific to the lumbar spine measured using the self-administered Oswestry Disability Index questionnaire (ODI, 0 = no limitations and 100 = maximum limitations) 4. / Physical component of quality of life measured using the physical component of the self-administered questionnaire 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12, 9.95 = worst quality of life imaginable, 70.02 = worst quality of life imaginable ) 5. / Mental component of the quality of life measured using the mental component of the SF-12 self-administered questionnaire (5.89 = worst quality of life imaginable, 71.97 = worst quality of life imaginable)
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disease affecting the eyes, skeleton, heart and arteries. Despite MFS affecting multiple organ systems, cardiovascular manifestations are the most serious and life threatening. Approximately 80% of adult MFS patients will have a dilated aortic root by age 40 years with aortic aneurysm and dissection the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Thus, MFS patients require lifelong cardiac surveillance. Living with a diagnosis of Marfan Syndrome and aorto-vascular manifestations affects patients' mental health, well-being and quality of life in ways that are not well understood. This study will address the current knowledge gaps in this area and will provide the information needed to design interventions for MFS patients with aorto-vascular problems to help improve the patients' mental health, well-being and quality of life. The study will include adult MFS patients who have been diagnosed with aorto-vascular problems. The overall aim of the study is to explore the psychosocial and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) effects of the diagnosis for aorto-vascular manifestations of MFS in 3 large UK cardiac centres. To achieve this, the researchers will ask the potential participants, after obtaining informed consent, to complete a series of accepted/validated questionnaires to measure the study participants' health-related quality of life (SF-36 and EQ5D questionnaire) and psychosocial factors such as depression (CES-D questionnaire), fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale), stigma (Perceived Stigma Questionnaire), self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale), pain and illness perception (Illness Perception Questionnaire). The researcher will also conduct a one-to-one semi-structured interview with some participants to identify factors important to patients that are not captured in the questionnaires used.
Marfan syndrome (MFS) affects multiple organ systems including the heart, bones, ligaments, and eyes, and is associated with significant risk of aortic dissection. Given limited evidence from in-vitro studies, and theoretical concerns, the majority of patients with MFS are restricted from certain physical activities. The lack of exercise and deconditioning have detrimental effects including increasing weakness, joint pain, decreased endurance, and depressive symptoms. Given the significant paucity of data currently existing on the effects of exercise in humans with MFS, and the recent, optimistic findings in rodent models, this pilot trial was established to assess the effects of moderated dynamic exercise in adolescents and young adults with MFS.
Marfan syndrome (MS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1) encoding the protein fibrillin-1. Fibrillin is the main component of microfibrils, elements found in all of the body's tissues, and this pathology is characterized by the multitude of its clinical manifestations. These patients may develop aneurysms in the aortic root and one of the main factors of morbidity in patients with MS is aortic dissection. Prevention mainly involves preventive aortic surgery. However, the repercussions are global and can affect the functioning of other tissues such as skeletal muscle tissue, bone tissue, lung tissue and the eyes. The association of skeletal (scoliosis, hyperlaxity), muscular and ocular disorders is clearly associated with an impairment in the quality of life. These disorders are associated with pain and disability which affect professional activity, leisure and family life. Physical activity could represent a relevant alternative for these patients. A recent animal study suggests that moderate training is beneficial.
Marfan syndrome is characterized by musculoskeletal manifestations, cardiovascular disease and ocular abnormalities, particularly ectopia lentis. Diagnosis depends on clinical evaluation, family history and molecular data: mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1). Ectopia lentis is the most common ocular manifestation in Marfan syndrome with FBN1 mutation and is relatively specific to this disease when associated with other features. However, clinical examinations for identifying ectopia lentis have not really been codified. The purpose of this study is to describe a 5-grade classification of increasing severity for ectopia lentis based on clinical examination and to evaluate the predictive value for the early grades of ectopia lentis in order to help characterize this major clinical diagnosis criterion.
