Abstract:

Objective. The length ratio of the index finger (2D) to the ring finger (4D) (2D : 4D ratio) is considered a biomarker of prenatal sex hormone exposure. The 2D : 4D ratio is influenced by prenatal androgen and estrogen levels. Because ankylosing spondylitis (AS) influences men more frequently and severely than women, androgens are proposed to be related to AS pathogenesis. Estrogens have immune-modulating effects and reduce AS disease activity. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between 2D : 4D ratio and AS disease activity. Material and Methods. In this study, 167 (43 female

AbstractObjectives. The aim of this paper is to compare the degree of accuracy between the BASDAI and mini-BASDAI indices in assessing the activity of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), especially in patients without peripheral manifestations.Materials and method. Our cross-sectional study consisted of a group of 124 patients with AS, according to the modified New York criteria. All patients offered their informed consent. All the individual characteristics of the patients were documented, both demographic and disease-related. The activity of the disease was measured using the BASDAI questionnaire,

Introduction: Psychosocial function in people with chronic low back pain (cLBP) is often impaired, indicating poor well-being. Fear-avoidance beliefs (FAB) are common concomitants of cLBP. Fear-avoidance beliefs are gaining attention as a potential prognostic factor for chronification and resulting disability in cLBP. This article aims to examine the associations of back function with FAB. Methods: This study presents data from a cohort study (DRKS00027907).

All patients with SpA with predominantly axial involvement are considered to have axial SpA, patients with significant radiographic sacroiliitis according to the modified New York criteria have r-axSpA.
