CONCLUSION: The literature does not show significant differences between the PS and PsA groups in terms of serum 25-OHD levels and a prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency. Besides, PASI scores were higher in the PS group. CRP ...

Conclusion: Elevated levels of pentraxin-3, fetuin-A, CRP, ESR might play a role in the pathogenesis of RA. Levels of fetuin-A, insulin HOMA-IR, pentraxin-3, CRP and ESR were not associated with clinical severity of the ...

In this study, it was shown that the MASEI scores assessed by US were significantly higher in patients with PSS than in healthy controls. Plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, and distal patellar tendon were significantly thicker ...

Conclusion: We found that RA patients had lower sTWEAK levels and higher fetuin-A levels than the control group subjects. Furthermore, these two molecules were associated with each other. This study demonstrated that in ...

Conclusion: We found no correlation between PTX3 and disease activity score 28 or NLR, although PTX3 levels were higher in RA patients than the controls. As a result, we were unable to establish a relationship between PTX3 ...

Conclusions: Similar to CRP, PTX-3 is an acute-phase reactant that is considered an inflammatory and atherosclerotic biomarker. This study showed that PTX-3 levels can increase, similar to IL-17, but no relationship was ...
