SWE to Detect Enthesitis in PsA: Relationship With SIRT2 Expression and Disease Activity
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
1. To assess the diagnostic utility of shear-wave elastography (SWE), gray-scale (GS) ultrasound, and Power Doppler (PD) in detecting Patellar and Achilles tendinopathy in psoriatic patients with and without arthritis. 2. Investigate the relation between SWE, GS ultrasound, and PD finding and SIRT2 expression levels. 3. Evaluate the association of the imaging findings and SIRT2 levels with psoriatic arthritis disease activity score.
