With the rapid development of the economy and society, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has not only caused severe environmental problems, but also posed a threat to public health. In order to improve the estimated accuracy of PM2.5, the input data fine mode fraction (FMF), a key parameter to the PM2.5 remote sensing method (PMRS), should be improved due to its significant errors. In this study,...
AIM The aim of this study is to analyze possible autonomic nerve system alterations and assess the efficacy of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis in anticipation of cardiovascular risks in pediatric patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). METHOD In this study, cardiac autonomic functions were investigated in children with FMF by analyzing HRV and its other probable cardiac effect...
Objective The optimal level of adherence necessary to achieve acceptable disease and quality-of-life outcomes for patients is not known. In order to identify these optimal levels, we need reliable and valid measures of adherence. Medication Adherence Scale in FMF (MASIF) is an instrument designed to measure adherence to treatment in children with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). We have deve...
Methods Patient group was composed of 135 FMF patients. 165 patients who were admitted to our outpatient clinic with FMF like symptoms were reviewed as a control group. Demographic findings and laboratory examination of both groups were reviewed retrospectively. According to the new criteria, the diagnosis of FMF was established by the presence of two or more of five criteria (fever, abdominal ...
Results Presenting signs in heterozygous children did not differ from homozygous or compound heterozygous patients. Initial response to colchicine was identical in the two groups. During follow-up heterozygous patients were more likely to have a milder course of the disease. After puberty clinical signs of FMF totally disappeared in 6/11 heterozygous patients. In these 6 patients, colchicine co...
Background Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited inflammatory disorder characterized by attacks of fever with polyserositis. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate pediatric patients with FMF who had central nervous system (CNS) findings. Materials and Methods Our medical records database for 2003 to 2014 was screened retrospectively. In total, 104 patients with FMF we...
In their otherwise excellent review of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), Lidar and Livneh argue against testing for Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) mutations both in their diagnostic algorithm and in their subsequent discussion of the case. Although the clinical criteria for FMF are highly sensitive and specific, incorporation of genetic testing will not only confirm the diagnosis but adds va...
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is rare autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disorder characterized by periodic bouts of fever, serositis, synovitis, and/or cutaneous inflammation. Painful febrile attacks last 1 to 3 days and can vary in severity. FMF is almost exclusively affecting subjects with Mediterranean origin, especially Armenian, Arab, Jewish, Turkish, North Africans and Arabic desc...
PURPOSE Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency plays a role in the initiation and perpetuation of certain autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this study was to measure the vitamin D status of children with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and compare it to their healthy peers. METHODS A total of 50 FMF patients and 49 healthy children were enrolled in this prospective study. Vitamin D levels...
Objective: It has been suggested that Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene mutations are also seen in certain autoimmune diseases and are related to severity of the disease activity. As most of the clinical symptoms of these inflammatory diseases are related to autoantibody positivity, we assessed autoantibody prevalence in patients with Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and investigated the relati...
