To evaluate the circulating levels of adipokines (leptin and adiponectin) and ghrelin in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and also to assess the relationships between these molecules and disease-related parameters. Forty-eight FMF patients in attack-free period (31 men, [M], 17
Pseudotumor cerebri (PC) is a condition that occurs predominantly in obese women, and long lists of putative causes and associations have been reported. We describe here the case of a woman in whom PC coexisted with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). A review of the literature revealed no report of
We present the case of a 45-year-old woman who was hospitalized due to severe macrocytic anemia and renal failure. The patient presented a morbid obesity. The immunological study showed anti-ENA anti-SSA (Ro52) positive, with negative antinuclear antibodies. Also in the proteinogram (serum
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a progressive disease characterized by chronic inflammation, which also has negative effects on cochlear functions and hearing levels. We investigated whether the cochlear functions and hearing levels of FMF patients were different than healthy controls and also
Objectives: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by frequent attacks and chronic inflammation. Subclinical inflammation continues during the attack-free period. Omentin is an anti-inflammatory
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease that is the most common of a rare group of disorders collectively termed familial hereditary periodic fever syndromes, also known as autoinflammatory syndromes. FMF is predominantly affecting people of Mediterranean descent and
BACKGROUND
To investigate obesity as susceptibility factor in patients with idiopathic AA amyloidosis.
METHODS
Clinical, biochemical and genetic data were obtained from 146 patients with AA amyloidosis. Control groups comprised 40 patients with long-standing inflammatory diseases without AA
Aim: Colchicine is the mainstay of treatment in FMF. However, in daily practice, it is not easy to maintain effective colchicine doses in substantial number of patients, due to its side effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate prevalence and risk factors for
Hepatic lipidosis, a hallmark lesion of lipid mobilization disorders in ruminants, was noted in four 3-year-old, pregnant bison (Bison bison) after periods of anorexia that progressed to recumbency and death. The affected bison were part of a herd at the National Animal Disease Center (NADC) that
BACKGROUND
The natural progression of metabolic abnormalities among patients with inherited autoinflammation is unclear.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to assess the cardiometabolic risk of participants with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
METHODS

The spectrum of rheumatic diseases seen in Saudi Arabia appeared to be broadly similar to that seen in the West although interesting differences were noted. Rheumatoid arthritis was the predominant inflammatory joint disease, but was less severe. Ankylosing spondylitis is probably rare among the
To describe the trends in the incidence rates of 5 most common cancers, communicable diseases, and non-communicable diseases in Saudi Arabia over the last decade. Methods: The incidence rates of cancers (2001-2014), communicable diseases (2003-2016), and non-communicable diseases (1990-2017) were
