Background: Measurement of RA disease activity helps guide therapeutic decision and follow up. Several disease activity scores (DAS) have been developed. DAS28 is the most frequently utilized score and the backbone for the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria.
Objective: To evaluate the possible association between ESR/CRP ratio, MPV, and PDW and rheumatoid disease activity.
Subjects and methods: Ninety individuals were included and subdivided into three age and gender matched groups: Group A: 30 RA patients who received conventional DMARDS, Group B: 30 RA patients who received biological DMARDS, Group C: 30 healthy volunteers as a controls. Each participant …

Background & Purpose: Gait asymmetry represents one of the primary issues for individuals with unilateral amputations of the lower limbs in order to prevent excessive stress on the sound leg.
Aim of the work: To analyze of pressure distribution through the foot of the sound limb to evaluate the mechanical risk factors in unilateral amputees.
Patients and Methods: We included 30 subjects classified into 15 traumatic unilateral trans-femoral or trans-tibial amputees without advanced osteoarthritic changes or foot deformities were collected and 15 normal individuals as a control group. All patients have undergone careful history-taking, including a sound limb investigation for …
