Insights into the immunopathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) help to understand the complex disease patterns and to develop new treatment strategies. The disease manifestations essentially result from autoantibodies, immune complexes and cytokines. Particularly the propensity towards developing various autoantibodies is central to the disease itself; autoantibody specificities lead to highly variable organ manifestations. This review article delineates the clinically relevant state of knowledge on SLE pathogenesis, with the goal to establish a model useful for clinical practice, which also helps to classify the novel therapeutic approaches.

: To compare disease activity and flares among different doses and types of COVID-19 vaccines in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. SLE patients in a lupus cohort, who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine (inactivated virus, adenovirus-vectored, or mRNA vaccines) between March and October 2022 joined this study. The data regarding disease activity and flares after each dose were reviewed and compared.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems, often presenting with polyarticular joint manifestations. Despite its relevance, there is currently limited research on the impact of MPs on lupus arthritis.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by self-antibody production and widespread inflammation affecting various body tissues. This disease is driven by the breakdown of immune tolerance, which promotes the activation of autoreactive B and T cells. A key feature of SLE is dysregulation in antigen presentation, where antigen-presenting cells (APCs) play a central role in perpetuating immune responses.

Soft tissue reconstruction in the lower limbs presents a significant challenge, particularly when addressing defects in the distal third of the leg, ankle, and foot. The reverse sural flap reliant on the perforating branches of the peroneal artery has emerged as a versatile option, offering a solution for patients for whom microsurgical techniques are not feasible. Despite its advantages, the procedure carries inherent risks, especially in populations with underlying conditions, such as venous insufficiency, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, as well as in elderly patients, where the likelihood of flap necrosis is elevated.
