Dysphagia as the first or only manifestation in thoracic aortic aneurysm is referred to as dysphagia aortica, which is usually associated with old age, women of short stature, hypertension, and kyphosis. Systemic lupus erythematosus may complicate with early aortic aneurysm onset. Dysphagia aortica in young women with lupus may be more common than many doctors realize and easily missed at the first presentation.

Immune complexes-mediated activation of neutrophils in systemic lupus erythematosus is dependent on RNA recognition by toll-like receptor 8.
Front Immunol

Division of Rheumatology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, United States.
Introduction: Neutrophil activation is important in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We previously demonstrated that ribonucleoprotein (RNP) immune complexes (ICs) promoted neutrophil activation in a TLR7/8-dependent manner. However, it remains unclear if this mechanism occurs in patients.

Prevention of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a major objective in the management of patients with lupus nephritis (LN). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) of variable severity is common in these patients, but recent literature has mostly focused on novel immunosuppressive treatments for acute LN, while the data on CKD is relatively limited. This scoping review aims to summarise available data on the prevalence and risk factors for CKD in patients with LN.

Introduction: This study evaluated the prevalence and incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Germany and explored real-world data on sequence of therapy (SOT; sequence of drugs as prescribed in clinical practice).
Methods: This retrospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study using German claims data from the WIG2 GmbH Scientific Institute for Health Economics and Health System Research database (January 2011-December 2019), extrapolated to the statutory health insurance (SHI)-insured population, evaluated prevalence and incidence in an epidemiological analysis group and SLE treatment patterns in an incident cohort (subgroup ≥ 18 years of age with incident disease and ≥ 24-month follow-up post index date). Analyses were descriptive.

The antimalarial hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has considered for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. Moreover, HCQ has been used as a drug to treat Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In this work, nitrogen doped porous reduced graphene oxide (NprGO) has been prepared via environmentally friendly process using Fummaria Parviflora extract.

Limited evidence suggests that autoimmune diseases are associated with an increased risk of cervical artery dissection (CeAD). We hypothesized individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) would have an increased risk of CeAD following SLE diagnosis compared to matched non-lupus controls. We queried a de-identified United States electronic medical records network (TriNetX, Inc.
