Psychiatric manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that are commonly preceded by organic syndromes include confusional states, anxiety disorder, cognitive dysfunction, mood disorder and psychosis. A 35-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with a relapse of SLE. Laboratory data were exacerbated, with some physical symptoms, and her primary psychiatric symptom was mania. The symptoms were reduced by treatment with prednisolone, methylprednisolone and aripiprazole. Magnetic resonance imaging and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using (123)I-IMP was then performed and analyzed with three-dimensional stereotactic surface projection. This case emphasizes that SLE can commence with organic syndromes and relapse with predominantly psychiatric symptoms, and that the treatment efficacy may be confirmed using a follow-up of SPECT.
Differences in guide plane setting conditions affected the abutment displacement that arose when an Akers clasp was inserted, suggesting that a difference in reciprocal action is seen depending on the setting conditions of the guide plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
