A Heterozygous Mutation M694V in the MEFV Gene and HLA-B27 Negative Spondyloarthritis: The Chicken Egg Paradox?

There is evidence that the familial Mediterranean gene (MEFV) M694V mutation plays a role in the susceptibility to Spondyloarthritis (SpA). There is an increased prevalence of SpA among Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients, especially in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)  B27 negative patients carrying the MEFV M694V mutation.

A Bruise as First Manifestation of Cutaneous Angiosarcoma

Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma that presents as a violaceous plaque, resembling a persistent bruise on the head and neck. The hematoma-like lesions are pitfalls that could be the first spy of malignant vascular tumors. The low survival rates of cutaneous angiosarcoma require a recognition as early as possible. We report a case

Early Repair of Vesicovaginal Fistula

Vesicovaginal fistula is a common acquired fistula in obstetrics and gynecology. With the development of obstetric technology, the main cause of vesicovaginal fistula is benign gynecological operation. About 80% of vesicovaginal fistula the caused by abdominal hysterectomy. The treatment of vesicovaginal fistula is surgical repair, which can be done through abdominal (open or minimally invasive)

A Mild form of Familial Mediterranean Fever Associated with aPolymorphisms C.Nt 1588,-69G>

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease caused by mutation(s) in the Mediterranean fever (MEFV, pyrinmarenostrin) gene. FMF is characterized by recurrent fever crisis combined with serosal, synovial, or cutìaneous inflammation. Until now more than 304 sequence variants have been recorded. Here, we describe a case of mild FMF confirmed by analysis
