    (2017) Kaskari, Derya; Yucel, Ahmet Eftal; Agildere, Muhtesem; 0000-0002-0125-8746; 0000-0002-4860-9072; 0000-0003-4223-7017; 27919196; H-7637-2016; AAB-5802-2020
    Objective: To document the prevalence of Spondyloarthropathy (SpA) with an evaluation of patients previously diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Methods: The patients diagnosed with FMS before telephoned and asked three questions to determine for inflammatory back pain. American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Fibromyalgia criteria 1990 and ACR 2010 and for diagnosing patients with SpA; criteria from the European Spondyloarthropathy Study Group (ESSG), and Amor were applied. Results: FMS was diagnosed according to 1990 ACR criteria in 14 (60.8%) SpA patients who were diagnosed with SpA according to the Amor criteria alone and in 10 (43.4%) patients who were diagnosed according to ESSG criteria alone, while it was diagnosed in 9 (33.3%) patients who were diagnosed with SpA according to Amor and ESSG criteria together and in 15 (65.2%) patients diagnosed with SpA according to Amor and/or ESSG criteria. The most tenderness was experienced in the bilateral shoulder supraspinatus tendon insertion region (57.7%) and in the sacroiliac joint (40.8%). Fourteen (60.8%) patients diagnosed according to ACR 1990 and 17 (51.6%) patients diagnosed according to ACR 2010 had plantar fasciitis and/or Achilles enthesopathy on foot radiography. Conclusions: There is a meaningful section of patients who are SpA or FMS and SpA are together in the patients thought to be FMS or the patients diagnosed with FMS according to ACR's criteria can be said.

    Assessment of Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Vitamin D Deficiency
    (2019) Aydin, Elcin; Altin, Cihan; Soylev, Gozde Ozcan; Tekindal, Mustafa Agah; Agildere, Muhtesem; 30300321; AAB-5802-2020
    Purpose Patients with vitamin D deficiency (VDD) have potential to have increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to discover the findings of early atherosclerosis in patients with VDD by measuring carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and epicardial fat thickness (EFT). Materials and Methods The study population includes 52 patients with VDD (n = 30 [57% female], mean +/- SD age 54.28 +/- 8.77 years, mean +/- SD serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 [OH] D) 11 +/- 2.4 ng/mL) and 82 participants for control group (n = 52 [63.4% female], mean +/- SD age 56.40 +/- 7.90 years, mean +/- SD serum (25 [OH] D) 53 +/- 4.2 ng/mL) who have no cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness was assessed by using ultrasonography, and EFT was measured on the free wall of the right ventricle at end diastole from the parasternal long-axis views by standard transthoracic 2-dimensional echocardiography. Results Both CIMT and EFT were significantly higher in patients with VDD compared with controls (0.75 +/- 0.16 mm vs 0.68 +/- 0.21 mm, P < 0.05, and 0.66 +/- 0.15 cm vs 0.56 +/- 0.15 cm, P < 0.001). Conclusions Patients with VDD seem to have increased CIMT and EFT, which are predictors of atherosclerotic process. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.
