MEFV mutation carriage as possible predisposition factor for the development of Post Pericardiotomy Syndrome (PPS)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods 86 patients who underwent cardiac surgery were studied, 45 of whom developed PPS (study group) and 41 have not (control group). Demographic data (gender, age, region of residence, ethnic origin) and type of surgery were collected. The severity of PPS was evaluated, based on a predefined scale. Genetic analysis determining carriage of one of the three most common MEFV gene mutations (M694V, V726A, E148Q) was performed.

Development of post-pericardiotomy syndrome is preceded by an increase in pro-inflammatory and a decrease in anti-inflammatory serological markers
The post-pericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, occuring in 10-40% of patients. PPS may prolong hospitalization, and even serious complications like tamponade and constrictive pericarditis may occur. Early diagnosis and treatment may reduce morbidity. In 50 patients transferred to our hospital after cardiac surgery we found an increase in pro-inflammatory ...

Background: Systemic-onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SoJIA) is an autoinflammatory disease with complex genetic trait starts in children less than 16 years of age with fever and cutaneous rash. Despite, the main genetic factors that may play a role in SoJIA have not yet been identified. High level of interleukin-1beta in the blood of SoJIA patients has been reported. The production and sec...

Background : Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease, which is characterized by recurrent short episodes of inflammation in serous membranes. It is most prevalent in Western Mediterranean population. MEFV is the only gene currently known to be associated with this disease. Previous studies revealed that 6% of Iranian Jewish residents in Israel were carriers of MEFV ...
