Pathology of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Return to the tutorial menu. The images as described below have file sizes ranging from 50 to 250k. General Features Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic disease with many manifestations. SLE is an autoimmune disease in which the body's own immune system is directed against the body's own tissues. The etiology of SLE is not known. It can occur at all ages, but is more common in young women. The production of autoantibodies leads to immune complex formation. The immune complex deposition in many tissues leads to the manifestations of the disease. Immune complexes can be deposited in glomeruli, skin, lungs, synovium, mesothelium, and other places. Many SLE patients develop renal complications. Laboratory Testing The presence of autoantibodies can usually be determined by the antinuclear antibody (ANA) test performed on patient serum from blood. The titer, or strength, of the ANA gives a rough indication of the severity of the disease. Not all positive ANA tests indicate autoimmune disease, particularly when the titer is low. After a positive screening ANA test, more specific tests for SLE include detection of autoantibodies to double stranded DNA and to Smith antigen. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test with homogenous pattern, Hep2 cell substrate, FITC immunofluorescence.

Arctic Wolves Got Pets Online - Lots of Arctic Wolf pictures, pet eCards, websites, classifieds, and more. Arctic Wolves - Introduction Picture source: webshots Twofold Photos, Inc. Arctic wolves are the safest mammals on earth, largely because they live in the most inhospitable regions of the planet. They are concentrated in North America, mainly along its polar edge, and in Greenland, where few humans adventured throughout history. However, some species can be found in Wood Buffalo National Park, Canada. Arctic Wolves (Canis Lupus Arctos) are in many ways similar to their Grey cousins, which can be found almost all the way across the western hemisphere. Because Arctic wolves haven't dealt with humans as much as their gray counterparts have, they react in a specific way, should a human appear within their range. While most grey wolves seek safety either in attack or in flight, an Arctic wolf may simply stand still and stare. This can even contribute to establishing long-term contacts with animals and befriending them. A senior research scientist of the Biological Resources Division, managed to spend several summers in a company of Arctic Wolves. He even had his boots unlaced by one of them. Because of lack of access, there have been few opportunities for a careful study of this subspecies. Therefore, little is known about their history and evolution. But their kinship with gray species is evident, because Arctic Wolves retain great similarity with those.

Defining Lupus Lupus is one of many disorders of the immune system known as autoimmune diseases. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system turns against parts of the body it is designed to protect. This leads to inflammation and damage to various body tissues. Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. Although people with the disease may have many different symptoms, some of the most common ones include extreme fatigue, painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, skin rashes, and kidney problems.

Systemic lupus erythematosus SLE ) is a challenging 'autoimmune' whose wide variety of manifestations makes it a necessary part of the differential diagnosis for children and adolescents with many different presenting complaints. Nonspecific complaints of fatigue and malaise are the most common initial symptoms of SLE in children and adolescents. The typical 'butterfly' rash is present in less than one-third of affected children. Many pediatricians dismiss SLE from their differential diagnosis as 'uncommon in childhood', but positive tests for

KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems Your body has its own system for fighting off sickness called the immune system , but sometimes this system doesn't work correctly. When this happens, a person may have an autoimmune (say: aw-toh-im- yoon ) disease. Lupus (say: loo -pus) is one of those diseases. A healthy immune system is like an army that can protect you against germs and illness. It makes antibodies (say: an -tye- bah -deez), which are special chemicals that fight off infections. But with a disease like lupus, the army gets confused and begins attacking the healthy cells in your body. It does this by making autoantibodies (say: aw -toh- an -tye- bah -deez), which are antibodies that attack the body's normal cells. People with lupus may not look sick, but they may feel run down, weak, or nauseated. Their joints may hurt and they may have swollen glands. There are three types of lupus: Systemic lupus erythematosus (say: sis- teh -mik loo -pus er-uh-thee-muh- toh -sus) is also called SLE and is the type that most people mean when they talk about lupus. It's the most serious form of lupus. SLE can affect the skin , joints, tendons, and other body organs like the brain heart lungs , and kidneys Discoid lupus (say: dis -koyd loo -pus) is a skin disease that causes a rash on the face, neck, scalp, and ears. It's a much rarer form of lupus than SLE. It doesn't affect other organs the way SLE can, but the rash can leave scars.

Accès à la base de données Orphanet Antiphospholipides, syndrome des Accès direct aux détails Résumé Le syndrome des antiphosphoslipides (SAPL) se caractérise par une thrombose artérielle et/ou veineuse, des fausses couches répétées et la présence d'anticorps antiphospholipides (aPL), i.e. anticorps anti-cardiolipine (aCL), anticorps anti-bêta2GPI, anticoagulants de type lupique (LA). Ces aPL qui interagissent avec différentes protéines de coagulation, ainsi qu'avec des plaquettes ou des cellules endothéliales, pourraient jouer un rôle dans la pathogénie de la maladie. L'incidence de ce syndrome reste inconnue ; cependant, la prévalence serait basse dans la population générale (1-4,5%) et augmente avec l'âge. Les principales manifestations cliniques sont : la survenue d'une thrombose, une morbidité chez la femme enceinte, une thrombocytopénie, la présence de symptômes neurologiques, un livedo reticularis et une anémie hémolytique. Les aPL ont été décelés chez environ 1/3 des patients atteints de lupus systémique érythémateux. Un titre élevé d'aCL, la présence de LA et surtout d'anticorps anti-bêta2GPI sont des indicateurs précoces des manifestations cliniques du SAPL chez ces patients. La thrombose est traitée par la warfarine à haute dose [ International Normalized Ratio (INR) supérieur ou égal à 3]. Il est recommandé aux femmes enceintes atteintes du SAPL de prendre de l'aspirine à faible dose (80 mg/j) ainsi que de l'héparine non fractionnée sous-cutanée ou de l'héparine de faible poids moléculaire. *Auteur : Dr M. Tektonidou (mai 2004)*.
