Cerebral venous thrombosis as a rare complication of Sjögren's syndrome: case series and literature review.
Clin Rheumatol
January 2025
Department of Rheumatology & Allergy, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines a rare complication of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), discussing clinical features, treatment, and outcomes.
- A total of twelve patients were reviewed, predominantly middle-aged women, with common symptoms including headache and typical pSS manifestations such as dry mouth and arthritis.
- All patients received treatment including anticoagulants and recovered fully, highlighting the need for increased awareness and screening for autoimmune diseases in CVT cases, especially with unilateral transverse sinus involvement.

Objective: In some reports, antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) prevalence is higher in COVID-19 patients. This study intended to compare aPL prevalence between COVID-19 patients and healthy controls, and differences in aPL types using meta-analysis.
Methods: This work retrieved published literature about association between COVID-19 and aPL from Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, and The Cochrane Library databases.
Development of Priority Assistive Product Lists in Three African Countries.

Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA.
National Assistive Product Lists (APLs) play an important role in improving access to assistive products (APs). Assistive products are critical to enhancing the health, well-being, and quality of life of persons with disabilities and other functional limitations, including those associated with aging. Comparing national APL development across Malawi, Liberia, and Sierra Leone may provide insight into the differences between the resulting national APLs and how to enhance AP service delivery systems.

Department of Imaging Sciences, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Ave, Rochester, NY, USA.
Purpose: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a complex neurological disease characterized by symptoms of raised intracranial pressure of unclear etiology. Although optic nerve sheath dilation is a common MR neuroimaging feature of IIH, how and why it occurs remains poorly understood. The purpose of the presented analysis was to investigate if optic nerve sheath dilation might be associated with neuroimaging correlates of cerebrospinal and interstitial fluid homeostasis.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) that predispose individuals to thrombotic events and pregnancy-related complications. APS can occur as a primary condition or in association with other autoimmune diseases, most commonly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Catastrophic APS (CAPS) is a rare, severe variant of APS, marked by rapid-onset, widespread thrombosis leading to multi-organ failure, often triggered by infections, surgical procedures, or cessation of anticoagulation therapy.
