Patients with AS defined significantly more fatigue when compared with healthy persons. MAF was related to clinical and functional status and HR-QoL of patients with AS. We assume that MAF can be used as a sensitive fatigue measure in patients with AS.

Back pain is one of the most frequent complaints during the last period of pregnancy. In a small group of patients the persistent pain during the postpartum period may be secondary to osteitis condensans ilii (OCI), and rarely can occur suddenly in the elderly. OCI is a rare benign pathology, low back or buttock pain should be suspected in patients coming from. Although the exact etiology is unknown, it is suggested that the increased mechanical stress across the sacroiliac joint, depending on the mechanical stress, changes may develop in the iliac bone. In practice, it is important to recognise this disease as it can be potentially confused with similar causes of axial low back pain such as seronegative spondyloarthropathy, metastatic disease, or sacroilitis. Here two woman patients with low back pain and buttock pain secondary to unilateral an uncommon benign condition called osteitis condensans ilii is presented. This report emphasis the salient features and the differential diagnosis in diagnosing and managing this rare pathology.

With the developing technology, innovations have been started in many areas of life. New solutions based on technology have to be produced for new needs. The Internet has become an indispensable element of life with smartphones and mobile devices.  People can access information faster, less costly and independent of time and place by using mobile devices. As a requirement of the Internet era, many businesses support their business processes, services and products with their mobile applications. Academic institutions and publishers also need to keep up with this mobile transformation. In this study, a mobile application (QR-ticle) has been developed which provides reliable and fast access to the publication related to the references given in academic publications by using QR code. With this application, scientists will be able to create QR code for their own articles and will be able to access any of the articles by scanning the QR code.
