SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHROMATOUS/ SLE - Pharm D Notes .pptxAyesha Fatima
油
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease associated with autoantibody production. SLE is a multisystem disease.
The term lupus (Latin for wolf) was first used in the 13th century to describe erosive lesions that looked like skin that had been gnawed by a wolf.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
SLE occur most frequently in women of reproductive age (1550 years old)
Rates are nine times higher in women than in men.
It is affected by ethnicity, which includes genetic, geographic,
cultural, social, and other aspects within a group.
Rates are higher in non - whites than in the white population.
It is most common in those of African origin.
ETIOLOGY
The exact etiology for SLE is unknown but many factors have been identified that appear to play a role in the disease.
Predisposing factors
Genetic influences :
First-degree relatives of patients with SLE are 20 times more likely to develop the disease than those in a general population.
The genetic predisposition to SLE is a result of the interplay of a combination of genes.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II alleles HLA-DR2 and HLA-DR3 are known to be linked to SLE.
Epigenetic regulation of gene expression :
Gene expression is regulated by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation and histone modifications.
These epigenetic changes can cause alterations that may influence SLE.
Hydralazine and procainamide, two drugs that may induce lupus, inhibit DNA methylation.
Environmental factors :
Cigarette smoke is phototoxic and associated with cutaneous lupus.
Ultraviolet light can cause keratinocytes in the skin to release nuclear material that can further stimulate the immune system and autoantibody production by B cells.
Viruses EpsteinBarr virus.
Other include : infections, medications (eg, vaccines and biologics) psychological stress, silica dust, hydralazines, petroleum, solvents (eg, nail polish remover and metal cleaners), dyes, and pesticides.
Hormones, and
Abnormalities in immune cells and cytokines
Pathogenesis is related in large part to production of increased quantities and immunogenic forms of nucleic acids and other self-antigens, which drive autoimmune-inducing activation of innate immunity, autoantibodies, and T cells.
Interactions between genes, environment, and epigenetic changes drive increased autophagy, Ag presentation, neutrophil NETosis, autoantibody formation with increased plasma cells, and production of pathogenic effector T cells in Th1, Th17, and Tfh subsets, with ineffective regulatory networks.
The exact mechanism of autoantibody tissue destruction is unclear.
Immune complexes form when autoantibodies bind to nuclear material and deposit in tissues.
They activate the complement cascade, leading to an influx of inflammatory cells and tissue injury.
Autoantibodies might also directly react with proteins in tissues.
There are increased T helper cells type 2 and 17 and diminished number and function of T regulatory (Treg) cells.

Presentation Title: Equation of Motion in Mechanical Ventilation: Clinical Applications and Insights
Presenter: Dr. Faisal MA Rawagah (Minimally Invasive Bariatric Surgeon and Intensivist)
Description:
This comprehensive presentation delves into the Equation of Motion and its critical role in understanding mechanical ventilation dynamics. Designed for intensivists, pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and critical care professionals, the slides explore key concepts such as:
Core Components of the Equation:
Pressure (P), Resistance (R), Volume (V), Compliance (C), and PEEP.
Clinical Parameters:
Resistance Pressure, Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP), Plateau Pressure (Pplat), Driving Pressure, and Stress Index (SI).
Practical Applications:
Calculating resistance and compliance in ventilator management.
Interpreting P/V loops and time constants ( = RC).
Stress Index analysis for optimizing ventilation strategies.
Case Examples:
Step-by-step breakdowns of pressure equations and their real-world implications.
Learn how to translate theoretical principles into actionable clinical decisions, enhance patient outcomes, and avoid common pitfalls in ventilator settings. The presentation also addresses advanced topics like the "Equation of the Monster" (time constant) and the significance of slow P/V loops.
Presenter Credentials:
Dr. Faisal MA Rawagah combines expertise in minimally invasive surgery and critical care, offering a unique perspective on bridging surgical and intensive care practices.
Contact:
For inquiries, reach Dr. Rawagah at f.rawagah@gmail.com or +962 7 75 44 1427.
