2️⃣ How SDH affect lupus management

Low income, limited health literacy, language barriers or caregiving responsibilities (affects mainly women) can reduce access to medication, appointments, and follow-up, leading to irregular treatment & worse disease control.

1️⃣ SDH 🆚 presentation & diagnosis (example)

Patients from ⬇️income or minority backgrounds often face delays in diagnosis due to limited access to specialists, low health literacy or stigma.

As a result, lupus may be more severe, with organ damage, at diagnosis

😃 Dr @go-daniel.bsky.social explores now how social determinants of health —income, education, geography, health literacy & stigma—shape lupus outcomes from diagnosis to long-term care.

🍂Welcome, October!

This month, #1month1study focuses on social determinants of health (SDH)- factors like income, education & access to care that can shape the entire lupus journey.

📢 We’re kicking off with our latest review in Autoim Reviews: https://t.co/OXq9YGUddD

📢 Our new review is out in Autoimmunity Reviews!

We explore how the gut microbiome may influence SLE — from manifestations to diagnosis and therapy. From dysbiosis to diet, probiotics & FMT, the evidence is growing.

For anyone trying to understand why nothing **seems** to make sense in politics anymore, the recent TV mini series "M Figlio del Secolo" about Benito Mussolini's rise to power is shockingly thought provoking.

All this says to me is that the hospital is not thoroughly using its resources.
If there are no CT waiting lines then an animal was saved and no humans were harmed. If there are then the hospital should be questioned about spare capacity.
