Comparison of Clinical Features, Treatment and Outcomes of Lupus Nephritis Between Patients With Late- and Early-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Controlled Study
CONCLUSION: This matched controlled study of year at SLE diagnosis showed that late-onset SLE patients had lower prevalence of LN and LN flares. Although they received fewer immunosuppressive drugs, their renal manifestations and treatment outcomes were no different from those in early-onset patients.PMID:38550544 | PMC:PMC10970043 | DOI:10.14740/jocmr5097 (Source: Clin Med Res)

Systemic lupus erythematosus associated with erythema multiforme: A rare case report of Rowell's syndrome
Clin Case Rep. 2024 Mar 26;12(4):e8677. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8677. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTKEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Although it is very uncommon, SLE may initially present with recurrent episodes of EM-like rash. Despite the various possibilities underlying their association, prompt identification, and treatment of SLE in patients presenting with EM is important to prevent death or serious organ damage.ABSTRACT: Rowell's syndrome (RS) is an uncommon presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with erythema multiforme (EM)-like lesions associated with specific serological changes, including positive rheumatoid factor ...

Factors associated with non-adherence to medications in systemic lupus erythematosus: Results from a Swedish survey

Epub 2024 Mar 27.ABSTRACTSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is classically regarded as the landmark of systemic autoimmune diseases, characterised by protean, multi-systemic manifestations and a highly variable clinical course.Over the last years, both clinical and translational clinical research efforts led to significant steps forward in management and treatment of SLE. However, numerous aspects of SLE, from pathogenesis to treatment, still remain challenging, and several unmet needs persist for both patients and physicians. Following the ...

Revolutionizing Treatment Strategies for Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders: The Impact of Dipeptidyl-Peptidase 4 Inhibitors
J Inflamm Res. 2024 Mar 23;17:1897-1917. doi: 10.2147/JIR.S442106. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTDPP4 (Dipeptidyl-peptidase 4) a versatile protease, emerges as a prominent player in soluble and membrane-bound forms. Its heightened expression has been intimately linked to the initiation and severity of diverse autoimmune diseases, spanning rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis (SSc), inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune diabetes, and even SARS-CoV-2 infection. Operating as a co-stimulator of T cell activity, DPP4 propels T cell proliferation by binding adenosine deaminase (ADA), thereby augment...

Assessment of Arterial Stiffness and Biochemical Markers in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in the Diagnosis of Subclinical Atherosclerosis
J Pers Med. 2024 Mar 8;14(3):289. doi: 10.3390/jpm14030289.ABSTRACTPatients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are 2-10 times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) than the general population. The assessment of the risk of developing CVD is an important direction for further clinical management. The study was conducted retrospectively and included patients with SLE. The aim of the study was to assess the measurements of pulse wave velocity (PWV), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), ankle-brachial index (ABI) and biochemical parameters. Subclinical atherosclerosis was also assessed. The study included ...

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus-related Lung Disease
Semin Respir Crit Care Med. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1055/s-0044-1782653. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSystemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted, multisystem autoimmune disorder with diverse clinical expressions. While prevalence reports vary widely, pulmonary involvement accounts for significant morbidity and mortality in SLE. This comprehensive review explores the spectrum of pulmonary disease in SLE, including upper airway manifestations (e.g., laryngeal affection), lower airway conditions (e.g., bronchitis, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis), parenchymal diseases (e.g., interstitial lung disease, acute lupus pneumo...
