Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (SD) is an under-recognized and undertreated problem in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disorders (SARDs).
Objectives: To summarize and evaluate the existing treatment modalities for SD in females with SARDs.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines.
Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (SD) is an under-recognized and undertreated problem in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disorders (SARDs).
Objectives: To summarize and evaluate the existing treatment modalities for SD in females with SARDs.

Objectives: In women with systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs), female sexual dysfunction (SD) remains underestimated. We aimed to explore the prevalence and correlates of SD in females with SARDs.
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing the prevalence of SD and the pooled Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores in this setting (PROSPERO: CRD42021287346).
Objective: In 2008, the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures registry of the Hellenic Society of Cardiology was created. This online database allowed electrophysiologists around the country to input data for all performed ablation procedures. The aim of this study is to provide a thorough report and interpretation of the data submitted to the registry between 2008 and 2018.

CV risk in systemic sclerosis (SSc) has not been studied extensively but surrogate markers of atherosclerosis namely carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) are impaired in some but not all studies in SSc patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis assessed by cIMT and PWV between two well-characterized SSc and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) cohorts.
