Iván Méndez-Jiménez,Miguel Cárdenas-MontesA variety of skin rashes is seen in lupus. The most well known is the classical ‘butterfly’ rash on the cheeks and the bridge of the nose (Figure 3.1). However, this rash is seen in less than half of all patients.

SCORE

Advances in Artificial IntelligenceAll three layers of the heart can be affected by lupus. Blood vessel involvement is a central feature of the pathology of lupus, causing not just inflammatory small vessel vasculitis, but also thrombosis in the veins and arteries, and later in the course of the disease, accelerated atheroma in a significant number of patients.

Advances in Artificial IntelligenceOne of the major advances in the management of lupus has been the move towards more conservative treatment. Gone is long-term use of high-dose steroids for all, with a graded and more individualised approach now recommended instead.

Paolo Terenziani,Salvatore FemianoAn increasingly important link between aPL antibodies and a clinical syndrome is becoming recognized worldwide. This syndrome, known as the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) or Hughes syndrome, is a prothrombotic disorder leading to both arterial and venous thrombosis and, in pregnancy, recurrent abortion and pregnancy loss (Figure 13.1).

The ICARO Goal Driven Agent PatternAlthough much of the pathology of lupus is in fact small vessel vasculitis, it is customary to separate the group of disorders grouped under the ‘primary’ vasculitis label.
