This article discusses the classification and significance of cutaneous manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these skin features for disease management, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, alopecia was more common among pregnant rhesus macaques compared to non-pregnant controls, and pregnancy was associated with increased hair cortisol levels.

This study observed that among rheumatoid arthritis patients, 22% had thyroid dysfunction, with hypothyroidism as the most common, and weight gain and cold intolerance were significant predictors.

This study found that rhesus macaques with inhibited or anxious temperaments had less alopecia, suggesting temperament may influence hair loss in these animals.

This study found that nutritional deficiencies are common in Egyptian patients with rheumatic diseases, particularly among the elderly, and should be routinely monitored regardless of disease type or duration.

The authors concluded that sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent yet often overlooked in patients with autoimmune rheumatic disease, and they emphasize the need for increased awareness, research, and integration into clinical practice.

This study, involving patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, found that treatment regimens combining methotrexate and glucocorticoids, with or without initial high-dose methylprednisolone, showed higher remission rates over one year compared to methotrexate or leflunomide alone, and all regimens were generally well-tolerated.

In this meta-analysis, probiotic consumption in rheumatoid arthritis patients significantly improved disease activity scores and reduced certain inflammatory cytokines, but did not affect ACR20 response or other measured parameters compared to placebo.

This meta-analysis found that rheumatoid arthritis patients experience poorer sleep quality compared to healthy controls, including reduced total sleep time and efficiency, longer sleep latency, and increased wakefulness after sleep onset.

This study found that rheumatoid arthritis exercise videos are generally higher in quality and accuracy on YouTube compared to TikTok, with YouTube videos being more commonly uploaded by doctors and receiving better ratings on reliability and quality scales.

This study found that tofacitinib may be effective for treating pediatric rheumatic diseases, with especially promising results in patients with autoinflammatory diseases, arthritis and alopecia, and juvenile dermatomyositis.

This study evaluated coconut and palm kernel oils for their potential use in shampoos for black hair, finding they are rich in beneficial fatty acids and could serve as active ingredients due to their physicochemical and rheological properties.

This study found that social hair plucking in captive rhesus macaques is linked to alopecia and possibly relates to stress in females.

This study found that pregnant women with rheumatic diseases had sufficient energy and macronutrient intake, but showed a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, with selenium intake exceeding safe levels, which may lead to potential side effects.

This case report highlights the rare occurrence of overlapping syndromes including SLE, RA, and AAV in a patient with discoid lupus erythematosus, noting the persistent role of prior viral infection remains unclear.

This case report describes a 32-year-old Filipino female with mixed connective tissue disease who sequentially developed distinct autoimmune disorders over seven years, highlighting the complexities in diagnosis and management of overlap syndromes.

This study observed that alopecia in rhesus macaques follows a seasonal pattern, with the highest hair loss in spring, and varies with reproductive state, as pregnant females experience the most significant alopecia and lowest hair regrowth, which resumes postpartum.

This article presents a case study of isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease leading to right heart failure and severe valve damage, highlighting the rarity and diagnostic challenges of tricuspid involvement in rheumatic fever.

This study found that specific skin lesions are common indicators of pediatric rheumatologic diseases, potentially aiding dermatologists and rheumatologists in diagnosis when biopsies are challenging.

This study reports various adverse effects associated with different doses and administration methods of a medical treatment, including gastrointestinal issues and hair loss, leading to modifications or discontinuations in some patients.

This study found that methotrexate, when administered according to current recommendations, effectively manages rheumatoid arthritis for many patients in Poland, although regular monitoring is necessary due to possible adverse effects.

In this study, the researchers reported that the safety profile was similar across all DMARD treatment regimens for early rheumatoid arthritis, but the most severe side effects occurred in the leflunomide group.

This study concluded that coat damage in captive rhesus macaques is unlikely caused by parasitic, bacterial, or mycotic infections but may be linked to environmental or behavioral factors affecting hair growth.

This study suggests that methotrexate use among rheumatoid arthritis patients is associated with patient-reported side effects and tolerability issues that may not be fully recognized by physicians.

This study found that skin diagnoses in rheumatology patients were often unrelated to their underlying rheumatologic diseases, highlighting the importance of collaboration between dermatologists and rheumatologists.

This review details common symptoms of rheumatic diseases and how to differentiate them from other conditions based on patient history and physical examination.

The researchers observed that pregnancy in rhesus monkeys was associated with an increased incidence of hair loss, though the underlying reasons remain unclear.

This study found significant differences in alopecia rates among rhesus macaques based on their previous housing facilities, suggesting that factors beyond current environment may influence alopecia.

In this study of captive rhesus macaques, social hair plucking was related to kinship, showed characteristics of both prosocial and aggressive behaviors, and was associated with alopecia and hair cortisol concentrations in females.

This study observed that in captive rhesus macaques, social hair plucking is linked to alopecia and has kinship patterns similar to grooming, suggesting it may be socially influenced, though the health impacts and stress hormone (cortisol) changes involved remain uncertain.
