Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease with variable clinical manifestations that can affect various organs and tissues. Estrogen is an important element that performs a vital role in the pathology of SLE. It acts on target cells through binding to estrogen receptors (ERs). This study aimed to assess the effect of ER alpha gene polymorphism on SLE disease activity and...... hiện toàn bộ

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a connective tissue disorder of unknown aetiology. It is hypothesized that, in a genetically predisposed person, its pathogenesis is triggered by an environmental factor, possibly a hitherto unknown infectious agent. We present the case of a 68-year-old woman who is being treated for PMR. She developed tubercular lymphadenitis and erythema nodosum and improved with ...... hiện toàn bộ

Obesity and osteoarthritis are often concomitant. Both are accompanied by oxidative stress and stimulated inflammatory response. Exercise is considered a substantial treatment in rehabilitation of both conditions. Yet most of literature reported the benefits of regular exercising, while there is paucity about the effects of single low to moderate exercise session. This study aimed to investigate t...... hiện toàn bộ

Cervical spondylosis as a possible hidden reason beyond delayed phrenic nerve distal motor latencyEgyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation - Tập 48 Số 1 - Trang 1-4 - 2021
Ali, Rowaida Hamdy, Farouk, Mai Mohamed, Moussa, Salwa Galal
Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative condition of the cervical spine that can affect the cervical nerve roots. The origin of the phrenic nerve makes it vulnerable to injury. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible subtle phrenic nerve affection in patients with cervical spondylosis using nerve conduction studies (NCS). This study was conducted on 30 patients with cervical sp...... hiện toàn bộ
Primary Sjögren’s syndrome with polymyositis, a rare amalgamationEgyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation - Tập 45 - Trang 39-41 - 2018

Sjögren’s syndrome is characterized by diminished lacrimal and salivary gland secretory function. This disorder is not strictly confined to the exocrine glands and its manifestations may extend to extraglandular sites, such as the lungs, kidneys, reticuloendothelial system, and the musculoskeletal system. Although muscular manifestations are very common with Sjögren’s syndrome, true myopathy is ve...... hiện toàn bộ
Medication adherence to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs among patients with rheumatoid arthritis at Assiut University Hospital, EgyptEgyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation - Tập 47 - Trang 1-8 - 2020
Safaa A. Mahran, Tayser Mohamed Khedr, Esraa Moustafa Mohammed, Eman Mohamed Hussein El-Hakeim
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disabling autoimmune disease with predilection to synovial joints and many extraarticular manifestations. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are the cornerstone and initial therapy in rheumatoid arthritis. Although medication adherence is crucial for successful therapy, non-adherence is a substantial problem in some. This study aimed to determine the adherence...... hiện toàn bộ
Role of B-lymphocyte activating factor (BAFF) in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosusEgyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation - Tập 40 - Trang 96-100 - 2014

B-lymphocyte activating factor (BAFF) is a new member of the tumor necrosis factor family that promotes B-cell survival, acting as an antiapoptotic factor and thus contributing to the development of autoimmune disease. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of BAFF in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by correlating its serum levels to different clinicopathological i...... hiện toàn bộ
