Filter by:Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown cause, affecting mainly young adults. Vasculopathy has been reported in 16.8-51.5% of cases. Genetic, infectious factors, environmental factors, presence of autoantibodies, endothelial pathologies and hypercoagulability are responsible for the etiopathogenesis of BD. The main involvements responsible for morbidity and mortality in Behçet's disease are ocular, major cardiovascular and neurological involvements. Although there is an increased thrombotic risk in the etiopathogenesis of Behçet's disease, the cellular and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Although endothelial dysfunction due to inflammation has been shown to be the primary cause of vascular damage in Behçet's disease, some clinical evidence suggests that hypercoagulable states also contribute to thrombosis. The most common form of vascular involvement in Behçet's disease is deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. Arterial occlusion mostly affects the subclavian and pulmonary arteries. Although arterial involvement is rarer than venous involvement in Behçet's disease, morbidity and mortality are higher than venous involvement. Although an increased thrombotic risk is mentioned in the etiopathogenesis of Behçet's disease, it is still controversial whether vasculitis or susceptibility to hypercoagulability plays a role in the pathogenesis of venous thrombosis. In addition, there are very few studies in the literature in which all thrombophilic parameters were analysed. Again, there is no recent study on this subject. The aim of our study is to determine the risk of hypercoagulability in Behçet's disease patients with vascular involvement, which has a highly mortal course.
This is a clinical study to see if dusquetide can treat flares of oral and genital ulcers caused by Behcet's Disease. Study participants will receive an infusion of dusquetide twice a week for 4 weeks (8 treatments total), with weekly follow-up visits for an additional 4 weeks.
Our primary aim in our study is to evaluate the relationship between the activity, which will be evaluated by clinical and standard phase reactants, and the IL-6 and TNF-α levels, which will be measured in serum, in Behçet's patients. Our secondary aim was to evaluate Sirtuin-1 in Behcet's patients and compare it with the normal population. Our third aim is to find out whether there is a relationship between these values and organ involvement.
Longitudinal prospective multicenter Armenian registry of systemic autoimmune, autoinflammatory diseases with constitution of bio-banking.
Introduction: Patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), psoriatic arthritis (PAs), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) , systemic sclerosis (SSc), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and primary vasculitides, have a high risk of herpes zoster (HZ) infection. This increased susceptibility is caused by a deficient cell-mediated immune response due to the underlying disease and glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive treatments that impair the T-cell response, including conventional and unconventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biological agents. In this context, the recent availability of a recombinant vaccine against HZ (RZV or Shingrix®), composed of recombinant VZV glycoprotein E (gE) and the AS01B adjuvant system (HZ/su), is a major progress regarding safety for immunosuppressed patients. Its effectiveness, however, has been clearly demonstrated for non-immunosuppressed patients and in selected populations of immunocompromised individuals. There are no prospective controlled studies evaluating the immunogenicity of RZV and its impact on the activity of the underlying disease, as well as its safety in patients with ARDs at high-risk for HZ. Hypothesis: RZV has a good safety profile, including with respect to underlying rheumatic disease activity, in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ. Objectives: Primary: To assess the short-term safety profile in relation to underlying disease activity in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV compared to unvaccinated patients. Secondary: To evaluate the general safety of the vaccine in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV and non-immunosuppressed control subjects (CG); the humoral and cellular immunogenicity of RZV in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ compared to CG; the influence of disease treatment on vaccine response; the 12-month persistence of humoral immunogenicity and incident cases of HZ. Specific studies will also be carried out to evaluate the effect of drug withdrawal (methotrexate-MTX and mycophenolate mofetil-MMF) after vaccination in increasing the immune response in patients with ARDs with controlled underlying disease.
The aim of this study was to evaluate effect of music on sleep quality in patients with Behçet's disease. The population of the study consists of behçet patients who applied to the Rheumatology outpatient clinic of Medical Faculty Hospital, who met the research criteria and agreed to participate in the study. The study will conduct in a randomized controlled experimental design with two groups. The sample of the study will be 50 behçet patients the music practice group (25) and the control group (25). The research will be carried out between December 2022 and December 2023. In this study, data will with collect Descriptive Information Form, Behçet's Syndrome Activity Scale (BSAS) and Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale (RCUI).
Behçet's disease (BD) is an autoimmune, rare, and severe multisystemic inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, skin lesions, and both anterior and posterior uveitis; articular, vascular, gastroenteric and neurological involvement may also occur. The multi-organ involvement and the wide range of clinical spectrum make the diagnosis of BD challenging. Adherence has been defined as the "extent to which a person's behavior (in terms of taking medications, following diets, or executing other lifestyle changes) corresponds with agreed recommendations from a health care provider". The lack of medication adherence leads to poorer health outcomes for the patients, which affect quality of life, generate economic loss for the healthcare system and trigger uncertainty for the healthcare prescribers in dealing with the disease treatment. This challenge is particularly important in BD. The present study is therefore aimed at exploring the main reasons for low- or non-adherence to treatments in BD and to create a specific tool able to catch and monitor the reasons for low- or non-adherence in BD over time. Objectives - to explore the unmet needs in treatment adherence - to create a toll aimed at identifying and monitoring the reasons of low treatment adherence - to plan specific actions aimed at improving treatment adherence in BD
Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis that affects, especially, young people. Although its etiology remains unexplained, data suggest that the inflammatory response during BD results from a disruption of the homeostasis of innate and adaptive immune responses in genetically predisposed people. The microbiota could play a triggering role in BD, in particular the salivary and dental plaque microbiota. The aim of the Behçetbiot study is therefore to establish microbial profiles of dental plaque, pathological (on the mouth ulcer) and non-pathological mucous membrane, salivary and digestive and to compare them with control subjects not suffering from BD, related to the first degree, of the same socio-cultural level and to determine whether dysbiosis is correlated with a local and systemic pro-inflammatory response, by measuring salivary level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and blood level of CRP, fibrinogen, orosomucoïd and haptoglobin, and to compare them with controls.
This is a phase 2, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study with an equal randomization among the Hemay005 high dose, lower dose and placebo treatment groups. After subject randomization, each subject will enter an core-treatment Phase for 12 weeks following an extended-treatment phase for another 12weeks and a follow up phase for 4weeks.
