Lupus Science and Medicine is a global, peer reviewed, Open Access, online journal that provides a central point for publication of basic, clinical, translational, and epidemiological studies of all aspects of lupus and related diseases. It is the first lupus-specific Open Access journal in the world and was developed in response to the need for a barrier-free forum for publication of groundbreaking studies in lupus.

Duane Peters from the Lupus Foundation of America interviews Professor Iryna Kulyk from Indiana University in the USA and Professor Martin Kriegel from the University of Münster in Germany and Yale University in the USA. They discuss their study, presented at the Lupus 21st Century conference in September 2021, on the influence of the consumption of resistant starch (a type of dietary fiber) on the composition of the gut microbiota of lupus patients.

Could a high fiber diet positively impact the gut microbiome of SLE patients?

Duane Peters from the Lupus Foundation of America talks to Dr Cristina Drenkard from Emory University and Dr Teresa Brady from Clarity Consulting and Communications, both based in Atlanta, USA. 

They discuss their paper on the relationship between levels of self-efficacy and health behaviours and outcomes in black women with SLE. Their study specifically evaluated the associations between age, educational level and depression in SLE patients and the degree of pain and fatigue they experienced. These findings may help predict who might benefit most from self-efficacy-enhancing interventions to improve quality of life.

What's the relationship between self-efficacy and quality of life in SLE patients?

Duane Peters from the Lupus Foundation of America interviews Professor Ronald van Vollenhoven from the Amsterdam University Medical Centers in the Netherlands and Dr Cynthia Aranow from the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in New York, USA. 

They discuss the efforts of the DORIS international task force to agree on a single definition of remission in systemic lupus erythematosus, which they hope will ensure that clinicians, patients and researchers in the field are all working towards the same outcome.

Defining remission in systemic lupus erythematosus

Duane Peters from the Lupus Foundation of America interviews Dr Peter Izmirly from New York University and Dr Elizabeth Ferucci from the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, both in the USA. 

They discuss the establishment of a network of population-based lupus patient registries in the USA and how these have been used to estimate the incidence rate of systemic lupus erythematosus using standardised data stratified by sex, race and ethnicity.

Using patient registries to estimate SLE incidence rate in the USA

Duane Peters from the Lupus Foundation of America interviews Dr Gary Gilkeson from the Medical University of South Carolina about a phase I trial into the use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) in refractory lupus patients in the USA, following impressive results of clinical improvement resulting from this therapy in China. 
The trial indicated that infusions of MSCs derived from the umbilical cord are safe and may be effective in treating mild to moderate systemic lupus erythematosus, with minimal adverse effects.

Dr. Anna Wolska from the Lupus Foundation of America interviews Dr. Andrea Fava from Johns Hopkins University about Belimumab treatment in lupus nephritis. Dr Fava elucidates on the correlation between the decrease in urinary CD163 levels and the response to Belimumab treatment in Lupus Nephritis trials. The conversation provides important insights into the efficacy of this treatment option and potential biomarker use for personalized and precision medicine in the future.

و شيء- نص:  خديجه بكوش / اداء صوت :يسر مشفر

وقتاش القمرة تتزرع نوارة
ونقطف من خدودك ضحكة
تيبسلي دمعتي الغداره
ووقتاش يرجعلي ولفي
وتتحل ثنايا الرزق
والحوت يرجع يسرح
قدام ديار البحاره
ووقتاش يبرد جاشي
و تخطاني التنهيده
و نكرهو ضو لمدينه
ونحسبو نجوم الدشره
و كي نبردو مع رياح لفجاري
نفرشلك من كل زهره
غطاء في بالي
وكي تنعس يدي المكبشه
في يدك
و تغير من أختها السارحه
في بدنك
تسألها شوصلها لغادي واش بلها
بعرقنا

دين عشقتك
و يهلك شهاوينا
و يهلك طريق السواني
علاش فاضح خطاوينا
------------------------------------------- #سيف
تي علاش نغزرو مالشباك
وشمشنا عشقة متصدرة في ايدينا
تي وقتاش الليل يطل ؟
ويديك كي باب قلبي تتحل
انت السارية وانا لبحر
ووقتاش نعطيك بوسة مرصوصة
ونلبسك فرد مرة كي الخوصة
ويكمل هبالنا في وسط الحوسة

ووقتاش نحمّلك بالراحة
كي قطرة نو ستناوها الفلاّحة
كي غمضة نوم عاملة مرتاحة

ووقتاش نشدّك من يديك
وفي تراكن جاشي ندور بيك
ونورّيك ... ونعبث بيك
تي شبيك ؟
ماتفهمش ... ما تعرفش :

قداش سألت روحي
في الساعة مرّات
وقداش كتبتلك
حروف ماتقرات

تي وقتاش
يصفى لهوا
من دخان لمعامل
ووقتاش يرجع الصفا
وترجع لنفس لعمايل
ووقتاش
تتعدى بجنبي وماتحسبهاش
ترجع تتكى عندي وما تتغطاش
تزيدني دقة في روحي وماتحقرهاش

ونرجعو نحسبو للعشرة
ونتفكرو إلي بيناتنا عشرة
ونزيدو شوية للبرشة

تي يزي مالبعد وكل منامة حرشة
ويزي ما عملت فيها بهلولة وطرشة

الشي هذا لاهو متاعنا ولا يخرج علينا
لا ينفعنا ولا يفهم حر شهاوينا
والطريق الي ماشية فيه عمرو ما يواتينا

لازم ترجع ليالينا
ويرجع كيفك عامل مغناني
وبنة البعد تزيد تشهينا ...
وترجع تقرب خطاوينا
