Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of apremilast in participants 2 years of age or older with oral ulcers associated with Behçets disease or 5 years of age or older with active juvenile psoriatic arthritis that have completed Study 20190530 or Study 20190529.
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).
the goal of this prospective cohort study is to asses the Safety and efficacy of Adalimumab therapy for treatment of Behcet's disease-related uveitis in adult patients at sohag university hospital. Patients will receive adalimumab (40 IU), subcutaneous injection every two weeks for 6 months either as a primary treatment or if refractory to corticosteroids and at least one conventional synthetic immunosuppressive drug.
To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.
The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in the treatment of oral ulcers in adult patients with refractory mucosal Behcet's syndrome.
Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are clinical entities characterized by recurrent inflammatory attacks in absence of infection, neoplasm or deregulation of the adaptive immune system. Among them, hereditary periodic syndromes, also known as monogenic AID, represent the prototype of this disease group, caused by mutations in genes involved in the regulation of innate immunity, inflammation and cell death. Based on recent experimental acquisitions in the field of monogenic AID, several immunologic disorders have been reclassified as polygenic/multifactorial AID, sharing pathogenetic and clinical features with hereditary periodic fevers. This has paved the way to new treatment targets for patients suffering from rare diseases of unknown origin, including Behçet's disease, Still disease, Schnitzler's disease, PFAPA (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis) syndrome, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), non-infectious uveitis and scleritis. Gathering information on such rare conditions is made difficult by the small number of patients, along with the difficulty of obtaining an accurate diagnosis in non-specialized clinical settings. In this context, the AIDA project promotes international collaboration among clinical centres to develop a permanent registry aimed at collecting demographic, genetic, clinical and therapeutic data of patients affected by monogenic and polygenic AID, in order to expand the current knowledge of these rare conditions.
Assessment of Sleep-related breathing disorders, anxiety, depression and quality of life in Behcet's disease.
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
To study the effects of zinc gluconate supplementation on patients with Behçet's syndrome, 50 patients will be randomly allocated to two groups: placebo group or zinc group (one tablet of 30 mg/day elemental zinc) for 12 weeks. All participants will be asked not to alter their diet, medication, and physical activity during the study. At the first and the end of the intervention, genes and proteins expression, the serum level of inflammatory factors, quality of life, disease activity, anthropometric measures, physical activity and serum level of zinc will be assessed and compared between groups.
Background: oral ulceration is the earliest and commonest manifestation of Behcet's disease (BD). Minor aphthous like ulcers (<10 mm in diameter) are the most common type (85%); major or herpetiform ulcers are less frequent. It is occurred about in Egypt; 3.6/100,000 % and high recurrence rate with traditional treatment. Colchicine is the first line of treatment in mucocutaneous manifestation of BD through its anti-inflammatory effect. Tacrolimus oral gel is safe and effective in treating aphthous ulcers in many diseases. Objectives: to compare the clinical efficacy of topical tacrolimus versus oral colchicine upon disease activity, pain and ulcer severity in oral ulcer associated with BD. Study design: A randomized double -blinded trial. Setting: Rheumatology clinic, Assiut University Hospital and Faculty of Dental Medicine, AlAzhar University, Assiut branch outpatient's clinic. Methods: 40 BD participants (> 3 months taken traditional treatment with persistent active oral ulceration). They have been equally randomized into either group I (Colchicine and topically applied Tacrolimus), or group II (Colchicine only). Measurements: Behcet's Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF), Ulcer Severity Score (USS) and visual analog scale (VAS) pre-injection, then re-evaluated postinjection at four-time points (15 days, 1st, 2nd and 3rd months) and Determination of Natural Killer (NK) cells number in salival wash before treatment (at base line) and after the treatment (after 3 months)
