ABSTRACT Acute acalculous cholecystitis can rarely be the initial manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Awareness of this atypical presentation is essential to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention. Prompt recognition and initiation of immunosuppressive therapy may resolve symptoms and help establish the correct underlying diagnosis.

ABSTRACT Objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is relatively common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Periodontitis and periodontopathic Porphyromonas gingivalis are risk factors for CKD. However, the association of serum immunity to P. gingivalis and its peptidylarginine deiminase (PPAD), as well as periodontitis severity, with CKD in ...

Analysis of TNFAIP3, IRAK1, and TLR4 Gene Polymorphisms in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
ABSTRACT Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) arises from a complex interplay of polygenic susceptibility, epigenetic factors, and environmental modifiers. This study investigated the correlation between RA and Tumor necrosis factor α‐induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3), Interleukin‐1 receptor‐associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), and Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene ...

Loss of Lean Mass in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Associated With Loss of Total and Visceral Fat
ABSTRACT Purpose Rheumatoid cachexia has been described as a process of concurrent muscle loss and gain of adipose tissue. We evaluated longitudinal changes in body composition in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to evaluate the changes in adiposity that accompany loss of lean mass. Methods We combined and assessed three independent longitudinal
