Circulating resistin is elevated in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and is associated with steatosis, portal inflammation, insulin resistance and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis scores

Aim. We aimed to investigate the association between serum levels of resistin and the biochemical and histological features of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to determine the usefulness of this relationship in the clinical practice

A twin study in Behcet's syndrome

Objectives. Case reports on monozygotic (MZ) twins with Behcet's syndrome (BS) have been few and we are not aware of formal twin studies. We sought the frequency of MZ and dizygotic (DZ) twin births in BS and compared it to a healthy population sample from the same geography. We also looked for the concordance rate among the MZ and DZ twins
