Ankylosing Spondylitis

     Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of arthritis that affects the joints of the spine. Ankylosing spondylitis symptoms include back pain and stiffness from the neck down to the lower back. Eye and bowel problems may also occur. The spine's bones (vertebrae) fuse together, resulting in a rigid spine. These changes may be mild or severe, and may lead to a stooped-over posture. Early diagnosis and treatment helps control pain and stiffness and may reduce or prevent significant deformity.
       There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis. Treatments may improve symptoms and prevent worsening. This may include medication, exercise, and surgery. Medications used include NSAIDs, steroids, DMARDs such as sulfasalazine, and biologic agents such as infliximab. Ankylosing spondylitis affects about 0.1% to 0.5% of the adult population. Although it can occur at any age, spondylitis most often strikes men in their teens and 20s. It is less common and generally milder in women and more common in some Native American tribes.
          The cause of ankylosing spondylitis is unknown; there is a strong genetic or family link. Most, but not all, people with spondylitis carry a gene called HLA-B27. Although people carrying this gene are more likely to develop spondylitis, it is also found in up to 10% of people who have no signs of the condition.

Musculoskeletal System



                     Orthopedics is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system & Rheumatology is a sub-specialty in internal medicine, devoted to diagnosis and therapy of rheumatic diseases.

                     SciFed has started Orthopedics & Rheumatology journal in the year 2016, with the cooperation of Editorial Board Members and authors. In this journal we will accept articles like research article, review, mini review, rapid communications, case reports & letter to editors, short communications, image article, videos & graphical presentations and editorials. The most of the editorial team from top universities like Baghdad University, Central Michigan University, Alexandria University, Aligarh Muslim University, University of Messina, University of Barcelona, University of Novi Sad and showing research interests like anesthesiology, critical care, emergency medicine and pain and palliative care, distal end radius, Ilizarov ring fixation for infected non- union,LLD,Managed pediatric patients with CTEV, perhthes, scfe, Small bone fracture of Hand and feet with CR/OR with k wire fixation, Arthrotomies for septic arthritis, Closed reduction and pop cast in pediatric fractures, distal end radius, minimally displaced fractures.

                     The musculoskeletal system consists of the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons and musculoskeletal pain is pain that affects the muscles, ligaments and tendons, and bones. The function of the musculoskeletal system is to protect and support the internal structures and organs of the body, allow movement, give shape to the body, produce blood cells, store calcium and phosphorus, produce heat.

                     Recently we have received articles related to the topics like Rheumatoid arthritis, Brucella, intracellular bacteria, companion phenomena, intracellular bacteria, neck pain, Back pain, heel pain, thumb pain, Curcumin, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, oncology, anti-infective.

                     The major topic areas of this journal are Arthroscopy, musculoskeletal system,  Immunology, Rheumatic Diseases, Musculoskeletal Diseases, Knee Replacement, Regenerative medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, Bone Grafting, Rheum surgery, Arthroplasty, Epidemiology, Hip Replacement, Nanotechnology.

                      The review processes of the Orthopedics & Rheumatology Journal are as follows after receiving manuscript from authors first we will check the manuscript with our QC team after that we will upload in our online editorial tracking system with the observation of editors and reviewers. The review process will take 15 days after receiving review comments we will send to authors to final acceptance, final acceptance to an article in press from article in press designation to formal release of the electronic version and all online documentation.

Orthopedics Rheumatology

SciFed Journal of Orthopedics & Rheumatology mainly focuses on all innovative themes belonging to Arthroscopy, Arthroplasty and Rheumatology is increasingly the study of immunology. in modern rheumatology is the development of new drugs called biologics, or disease modifying agents, which can control severe disease more effectively. the development of new drugs called biologics, or disease modifying agents, which can control severe disease more effectively.
